The 70's were troublesome times for mustangs, and other sports cars. The Mach 1, mustang 2, and similar, I find them to be quite ugly BUT I'd like to have one. I had an 82 4 eyed fox that I thought was ugly for a while, then I kinda fell in love with it. It was unique.
I had a clydesdale Mustang at one point. Giant cars, the only thing I've had that was bigger was my Galaxie, but the Mustang could still move pretty well. It looked sharp with 235/60s up front and 275/60s out back on Keystone Klassics. I wish I had the knowledge I do now back then, I would have been able to get that thing all fixed up, instead I took a bath on it.
No pics, that was back in the 90s when I didn't have a camera. It was a 72 Mustange Grande notchback with a horrific tweed interior. I bought it with the heads off, fixed it up, ran it for a few hours then it split the bore on the #1 cylinder. It had dropped a valve, and must have stressed the block there. I romped on it a few times and it just let go.

i had a 70 grande coupe for a while.
bought it for $400 sight unseen. all i knew it was a V8 car with auto trans and locked up brakes.
when it was delivered i found out it was a corporate order car for a ford exec. 351C4 barrel, C-6 trans, 9 inch posi rear with 4.11 gears, and 4 wheel disc brakes.
put front calipers and a master cylinder on it and a new ignition switch.
fired it up and ran it on the street for a few months then decided i better get rid of it before i got in trouble because of it. i posted it on ebay with a $1,000 reserve. 5 hours later a guy in Albany emailed me and offered 6 grand if i would end the auction early.
2 days later he was here with a trailer and a stack of hundred dollar bills. .
wow.did it make you wonder then if 6k was a low ball offer and it was like a serious rare collector? it would of made me research it really hard i know this lol.
it wasn't the original owner was it?
