71 M-Code Mach 1
72 F-Code Convertible
Hello Don I have a 73 convertible, just to help you I'm 60 years old. I showed my wife a few different pictures of mustangs and the picture that I liked the best I kept showing it to her within a couple days and when she said ooh I like that one, that gave me a false OK in my mind, lol. So I went and bought it and never turned back I love it. came with a 302 installed a 351C Edelbrock heads to keep the 2v torque comp cams extreme energy cam 750 holley 2400 stall 350:1 posi. Runs great have not had a dyno run yet only have about 10 miles on it. do not regret one minute of it... Go for it.!!!!!!!!I have a secret desire/ambition (don't tell my wife) to get a 71 or 72 convertible and was wondering how many convertibles there are on here.
So, if you have a 71-73 convertible make a post to this thread listing the year, engine and any other options you'd like to share and let's see how many we can get listed.
Example:
71 M-code, ram air, Lime with white top.

Wow! Simply, Wow! Knowing Mustangs as well as I do, I am well aware that our really nice "True Survivor" 1973 Mustang Convertible was not far from being a fairly base vert build. But it is still a very attractive vehicle in its own right, plus it has barely over 20,000 original miles on it. There are still quite a few other 71-73 Mustang Convertibles I sometimes see in photos or articles that clearly reflect how Mustang Convertibles were often ordered with a relatively minimal set of additional options, Fancy enough options to make the car "something a little special." Enough options to cause the sticker price to go up 20-30% or more. So, that is how we wound up with a fairly few options on our 73 vert.New to the forum with my convertible. She is a Q and original owner. To save time listing options I will just post the window sticker and Marti report.
Yeah, that's the spirit! As much as I do say I love our little collection of vintage Mustangs and Shelby, it is clear to me you understand to what depths a love for a nice car go. Awesome...Hello Don I have a 73 convertible, just to help you I'm 60 years old.

Lol, no my wife did not have a problem with me buying the car. It's been two years and not one argument about it. But she dosen't know how much I spent on the drivetrain.Yeah, that's the spirit!

I did take note, however, that you say, "...that gave me a false OK in my mind..." - so, how did that work out with your wife? Is there, perhaps, an interesting back story about how you chose the car over your wife when she made it clearly known that, no, her pointing to a photo she says looks really nice is NOT the same as a "solid OK" to get that car?(!) Just thinking out loud that we get a look at to what depths the love for a car may drive a person... Maybe there is no story. Maybe...
Could you send a picture of where you mounted the joystick on your dash. I happen to have a passenger side sports mirror and would love to make this mod to my Mach 1.I have a 72 vert also. If you are into adding and adapting, try picking up a Grand Torino right hand remote controlled sport mirror. You can remove the mirror and cables from the housing and put them into a Mustang mirror housing. The joystick cable is long enough to run through the dash and mount on the right side of the steering column.
