I have always been of the opinion that after Ford ended the contract with Shelby in 1970, and Shelby had sold off the rest of his 1969 cars as 1970's, that Ford had styled the 71-73 mustangs using many of the cues from the Shelby 69-70. clearly the front end draws on the Shelby design. One item though; the cars 73 fat lower lip detracts from the appeal of the original design. Crash testing mandated the larger bumper but Ford did a weak job since the Mustang was killed after 1973. The chrome metal bumpers on the 71-72 works with the front end lines best. but that's only an opinion.
I just think the nasa hood realy makes them cars look like a diffrent beasty.Picture says it all
Indeed - and someone decided to mimic the scheme of a Mach without side stripes, complete with the molding.
The molding and the stripes are part of the Decor option available on the converts too. Mine is factory option with the black stripe:
look at the bumper guards nothing I have seen bigger and longerNot only are they the best looking Mustang convertible, they look equally as good with the top up (perhaps even better).
My favorite of all is this New York-tagged 1972 that showed up on Wikimedia Commons. There's nothing quite original to it; yet, the eclectic color combination is fantastic:

Quickly reversible - as opposed to the terrible "Mustang" badge positioning on the fender.
There was one medium blue & vermillion car made in 72; it was a convertible. Just sayin'.Not only are they the best looking Mustang convertible, they look equally as good with the top up (perhaps even better).

Sure isn't Medium Blue, or any factory blue applied to these cars (which is a shame - it's the one color shade Ford missed out on).
