1973 Ford Mustang Convertible — 302 V8, Power Top, Solid Undercarriage Why This Car Is Special The 1973 Ford Mustang convertible holds a distinction that most collectors have come to appreciate over time: it was the last open-top Mustang Ford would build for eleven years. When the Mustang II arrived for 1974, the convertible was gone from the lineup entirely. It didn't return until the 1983 model year. That makes every 1973 Ford Mustang convertible a legitimate endpoint in a specific chapter of Mustang history — and it makes survivors in solid, driving condition increasingly difficult to find. The 1971 through 1973 generation is often called the largest Mustang ever built in the original pony car era, and that's accurate. Ford stretched the platform considerably compared to the first-generation cars, adding muscle car proportions to a nameplate that had started life as a compact. By 1973, the body had been refined with a new egg-crate grille and color-keyed front bumper, giving the car a cleaner nose than the 1971 and 1972 models. The rear bumper also received an update for 1973, with a full-width chrome unit that tied the tail together more neatly. These changes make the 1973 the most visually refined version of this generation. Ford sold just under 11,900 convertibles for the 1973 model year across all engine configurations. That's a relatively small number when you consider total Mustang production for 1973 was over 134,000 units. Convertibles represented less than nine percent of the total build. Most of those have been lost to time, accidents, or simple neglect. Clean examples like this one have thinned out considerably. The VIN on this car decodes to confirm it was assembled at the Dearborn, Michigan plant, which was Ford's primary Mustang production facility throughout the first-generation era. The body style code confirms the convertible configuration, and the engine code aligns with the 302 cubic inch two-barrel V8 as originally installed. This...
