AI Listing Summary
This 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Convertible is a rare and stunning example, recently restored in the USA and presented in excellent condition with exceptional paint and interior. It features the desirable Cleveland 351 ci engine and automatic transmission, and has been regularly driven and enjoyed by its collector owner, even undertaking a trip to Scotland without issue. The car sits on factory-correct chrome alloys and comes with an owner's handbook and HPi report, making it a highly desirable classic.

The car is described as a 'stunning example in every way' and 'as good underneath as on top'.

The only minor point is that the odometer shows 9,000 miles, implying it has been used post-restoration, but the overall description points to near-perfect condition with only the slightest signs of use.

The bonnet was a no-cost option on the 302 cars and standard on all others.
The basic bonnet had non-functional NACA-style submerged ducts, but when ordered with the Ram Air option, it became functional.
It included a vacuum-controlled door inside each scoop, and a fibergla...
