1972 Ford Mustang Convertible Mach 1 Resto Mod (Custom/Restored)

Ford Mustang 1972 Description

A Classic Mustang you can drive across country. This thing turns heads. People just love this car, and that makes it a lot of fun to drive. I'm the guy who restored it, so ask me anything—EVERYTHING has been reconditioned or replaced. Starts on first crank, runs perfectly. Has A/C, rebuilt heater system, completely rewired entire car, new upholstery, new carpet, new paint, new canvas top, new, new, new, new.
