72 Mustang Grande

[Mach1Club.com]

Can someone tell me if most 72 Mustang Grande's came with the 351 Cleveland, tachometer, and center gauge cluster or is this a unique setup?

My understanding is that it was an option.

I wonder if there is any break down on how many Grande's got this option?

Wassup Mike! Ya I'm not usually big on the coupes, but this one just seems to have some unique things that make me like it a little more. It will never be a huge collectible, but all 71-73 stangs are starting to come around more.

Do you know Mike how rare these options were outside of the Mach 1 or Boss?

Im just trying to see if this is truly original or if someone has added this stuff over the years. Its also got the full console and Ive been told the Grandes were not factory with full consoles.

I can do a Marti report but by the time I go thru the process the car wont be available anymore.

Most Grande's came with the 351C.

Tach & center gauge pod, rim blow wheel, long console, A/C, and convenience group that can be seen in your pic are all options for the 72 Grande.

Good luck with it.

Thanks Don for that info, so would a marti report detail it enough to know how many Grande's specifically had these options? Or is that a waste of money? When I did the report on my 72 Mach 1 the report said it had a bench seat, which it hadn't. So I question the reliability of these reports now.

I noticed it has the parking brake warning light too, and you don't see too many of those around.

Hey Joe! I recently saw a 72 Grande for sale locally at a small used car lot. It had the center gauges and the rim blow steering wheel too. I believe it was a 302 engine. He was asking $6K, but it had a lot of body putty on it and some not-so-hidden issues. I told the salesman nicely that he would probably have a hard time selling it for that. He finally told me he bought it at an auction for $2,800!

The one I'm after is 4k with no rust and pretty clean.

No rust sounds like a great deal, go for it!
