1973 Ford Mustang Grande 302 with 31K original miles / 1 owner
1973 Ford Mustang Bullitt Highland Green over Ginger
I've never seen aclassic Mustang in such beautiful original condition!It was purchased in 1973 by a Mrs. Mathis from Pennsylvania and waspurchased at her estate sale when she died.I have every receipt on the car from new - including the sales documents and every repair for 45 years. (It even came with herdeath certificateso that we could get a clean PA registration!)
She was a Scottish lady, so she opted for theForddark green metallicSteve McQueen Bullitt"Highland Green"over a Ginger interior. She added a Scotland badge to the grill and drove it an average of 688 miles a year for 45 (garaged) years until she died at the age of 80. Title indicates ACTUAL MILAGE of 31,000!
Original sales documentsindicated a sales price of $3,798.19- which included her $849.19 in Ford options:
• Upgrade to 302cu" 2V V8
• Black vinyl roof
• Select shiftcruise-o-metic
• 5 wide Ford oval logo tires
• Power steering
• Console
• Power disc brakes
• Electric rear window defroster
• AM radio
• Tinted glass
• Power side windows
• 4 (very tasteful) Ford wheel covers.
Since buying the car, I have a completed a total brake service (at a cost of $650.)
Vin number indicates (3) 1973 (F) Dearborn Michigan (01) Hardtop (F) Optional 302 V8 (Number)204928
It starts with one turn of the key and the fresh (31,860 mile) 2V Ford 302 (Windsor) V8 lights up the tires. No leaks, no hesitation, nice idle speed, no overheating. You could drive this car to California if you wanted to.Every mile on this car is certified with the amazing provenance over 45 years of documented maintenance.Every scratch, touch up and repair is painstakingly documented in a5 gallon container of paperwork that comes with the car- including original sales brochures and manuals.
The vinyl top is perfect, the green tinted glass is clear, the interior shows beautifully with the45 year patena of gentle use.The 4 power windows go up and down fast! If you like classic cars - It is quite simply, "the stuff that dreams are made of."
Pictures show the clarity of the nice original metallic green paint, the underside is perfect with original under-seal and no rot. Shock absorbers, bushings, hoses and brakes are 100%. Power steering is smooth - you can steer it with your fingertips. Brakes stop the car fast and even! I have parked it on my drive and have not seen a single drop of oil or water. It's been pampered for its entire 45 years.
If I was to keep the car, I would replace the rear chrome bumper which has gentle age and pitting ($100) Also the drivers seat cover is worn ($150) She apparently used to kick the drivers side door with her foot - so there is a 2" wear spot on the inner door panel - but I like the originality of this and it doesn't behove replacement. There are several tiny chips on the original paint that don't even show up on the pictures.
