Ford produced over 134K Mustangs for the 1973 model year, and the numbers were surprising for almost everybody, especially considering it was the last year for the first-generation series.
The convertible recorded the biggest increase, mainly thanks to news that the 1973 model year was the last for this body style. Ford sold over 11,800 convertibles, double the figure recorded in 1972, though the hardtop continued to spearhead sales with over 51,000 units.
The fastback was the least popular choice, with 10,820 units, despite carrying a $2,820 price, more affordable than the $3,088 Mach 1, whose production included 45,440 units.
The Mustang in these photos is a 1973 specimen that is rarer than it looks at first glance, sporting a paint and trim combination you don't see every day. The Marti report is here to confirm it, revealing that only 277 1973 Mustangs were born with the same paint, and only 92 cars used the same paint and trim combo.
The owner says the car still wears the original colors, and while the photos suggest a tip-top shape, I think you should inspect it thoroughly to get a more accurate picture of everything on this Mustang. The original colors don't mean the car still has the original paint, so here's one thing you should thoroughly check live.
The Marti report indicates that the powertrain also makes this Mustang a rare specimen. Of all convertibles built in 1973, only 968 examples were fitted with the 351 four-barrel engine, and 675 received an automatic transmission. Only 28 got the Special Paint, and only 18 were paired with Black Knitted bucket seats.
The owner, who's apparently a big Mustang fan, considering they like both old and new models, as you can see in one of the pics shared on eBay, doesn't reveal much information about how original the car continues to be after all these years. This is why you should contact eBay seller joehneely and discuss all these details, though I can't stress enough how important it is to see the car live or order a third-party inspection.
A rare car is typically very expensive, and this Mustang is no exception, as the owner won't let it go cheaply, considering its shape and production numbers. They believe $40,000 is a fair price, but they also enabled the Make Offer option for further negotiations, so you know what you have to do if you're interested in this Mustang
However, buyers are slowly running out of time, as the listing will expire in less than one day. I don't expect the Mustang to sell on this attempt, so we should see it getting relisted in the coming weeks. It's parked in Alpharetta, Georgia, and it should be able to drive anywhere on its wheels.
