A brand new fully loaded 1973 Ford Mustang Mach I.
It was REALLY horrible in the snow, by the way!

Sky Blue with black interior, of course.

Sticker price was $4.4K. Bought it for $4K. I was working 2 jobs to pay for that car.....

351 cu in V-8 Cleveland engine. I think I was getting 12 mpg. But then I was buying gas for about $0.15 per gal.

It ran like a scalded dog. But the body fell apart after 5 years - a Ford problem of the time.

I still remember telling the owner of the dealership, a friend of the family, that my main complaint about the car was that the steering wheel blocked the speedometer between 115 and 125!

I think I still have a picture of it. If I can find it, I will scan it and post it in my album.

God this makes me sound old..... Glad I now own a Crossfire, because I feel 19 again!
