The floor shifter for the auto. It was made to manually shift down the strip.
Mine has been modified with a circuit boardMy clock still works perfectly! But I did have it rebuilt about 10 years ago, so that may be cheating...
I know. My '72 Gran Torino also had "the look". That was my first attempt at getting an early 70s car. Was a good car.That sexy, swoopy fenderline you described is referred to as the "coke bottle look", and was a staple of GM design-studio techniques throughout the 60s and 70s.
It is only one of a handfull of GM-inspired design elements incorporated into the 71 Mustangs by Gale Halderman at the behest of Bunkie Knudsen.
These are the features that the old timers at Ford resented so much.
The 71 Thunderbird was so influenced by this design language that it may as well have been called "Grand Prix".
But....who cares? I absolutely love the look of this car from every angle. It is the only car I have ever owned that I haven't eventually grown tired and bored looking at it.
I know. I'm glad Gale and Bunkie came to their sences and joined our team. My '72 Gran Torino also had "the look". That was my first attempt at getting an early 70s car.

Yep,I responded back in August but I will respond again today with a different favorite feature. When I had my Mach 1 (before it was taken out by a drunk driver) I must say the fold down rear seat was a killer option. Totally cool to look at, not to mention useful for dozens of reasons. Especially for a young 16 year old.
