We had a friend who had one and nearly every time he got out on the road he would break down. He finally got someone to take it off his hands.
Thanks Gman, she's my baby I bought her back in the mid 80's for $4800 and am pretty sure I could get at least $30,000 for her right now. All original GT, S code, 390, 4 speed, front disc, A.C. and PS, plus she has the cool intermintent wiper pedal on the floor. I have been thinking about taking off the stripes and taking her back to the complete midnight blue color she was when I bought her or changing the color to the maroon color of the time. right now she just sits in storage and I take her out about once a month just to clean out the pipes. I did let my 16 year old daughter drive her about a month ago after I spent two months teaching her how to drive a stick on my 06 Mustang and the damn kid said she liked driving the 06 better then the 67, she says she feels more comfortale behind the wheel of the 06, go figure..
Here are a few shots of my 73 convertible, like I said it needs a total restoration, and I just have not had the motivation to do much of anything other then changing out the old 302 and putting in one that was in an old 67 coupe I had way back in college, that motor from the coupe was built by a guy named walt Hane,
EPS This man knows Fords inside and out as he used to race with the legend himself Mr Shelby and I just happened to be fortunate enough to grow up in Evergreen, Colorado with a father who loved Mustangs. Walt used to do all the work on the cars my dad bought including this 73 convertible and at least 7 others that my brother and I both owned throughout the years, he was instrumental in my buying the fastback as I had him inspect it before buyng it.
As I said I rode off in the back seat of this 73 convertible with my dad driving it and my older brother in the front seat, I might add I was crying at the time because my brother called shotgun first and I really wanted to drive off the lot in the front seat, this convertible holds a lot of memories including my first date, and several other dates afterwards, so I am having a real hard time getting rid of it, however it really needs work, quarterpan fender wells, trunk floorpan, rear tailgate pan, and a new paint job just to mention a few, however the motor runs like a top and the 3 speed shifts as smooth as a babies ass, the rest is just a matter of cash and motivation...
I love my cars..
