Very pretty coupe.

Looks like you have a dealer-added vinyl roof which follows the A-pillars and tucks under the driprails. C-pillar trim also sits lower than the factory versions. Very chic, and it looks much better suited to the car than the factory version. Something special there.

FYI, we have a member with a very similar looking '72:

Thanks for that information Kurt, I've always assumed it was a factory installed top.

Welcome from Latrobe! 'Get the fuel injection', you'll never regret it. As I wanted a lot of high torque at low RPM and speed for fun on my 351 Cleveland 700cfm 4V Solid Throttle Body Holley Avenger MPEFI but only for up to 400 hp out of the motor is enough for me, had a problem with the newer O2 wide band sensor however my suspicion when I went off road back in Dec to avoid a total wipe out because of the ****** breaking off my cotter(hook) clip under the dash that connects my brake pedal to the brakes, went through some rough terrain to the point of my rear sway bar mount was broken and cracking a couple of real wheel studs. All is well though, after 4k of expenses on a brake job that should have only been $250 in labor. All I could think, is someone up there was either looking out for me or figures it is not my time yet! you sound like a person that would enjoy a variety of pics from the restoration/modification to shots of other cars too. Mikke Kohan PS, this is not my mustang but a 7173mustangs and facebook mbr Daniel Herberth his car name is Pig Vicious. But mine, not quite as tough as his, is a sleeping giant as you will see, not flashy at all but having some tasteful trim in the right places.Glad to find this site. Looks like there is some great information here. I have a '73 Mustang purchased in 1989. Original 6 cylinder car, now has a 302 (5.0L) from an '88 Mustang. Has a carburetor on it, still debating with myself on putting the fuel injection on it. The car has 46,000 original miles on it. All of the interior and the vinyl top are original. Myself and a friend painted it in '91. The only metal that has been replaced is the rear lighting panel. I'm in the process of replacing the front drum brakes with original discs and possibly rebuilding (upgrading) the suspension if the budget allows.
