Ford Mustang Mach 1 convertible with electric roof and windows Power steering from 2nd hand with valuation report (1971)

Vehicle description

Model history:

The success of the Mustang, which was largely based on Ford's mature high-volume technology, had a positive impact on sales statistics in the first years of production. Alone of the Mustang I, which ran until 1973 from the line, there were 4 versions. Since Ford also used many Mustang components in other model series, the striking trendsetter could be offered at a reasonable price. Of course, this price could also be driven up by optional accessories. The list of individual extras and equipment packages was extensive – every customer should be able to design his Mustang model according to his individual taste.

General information about the vehicle:

This Ford Mustang offered here is a convertible, which comes from first registration in 1971 and was imported from America with the chassis number 1F03H165317. According to the seller, the Mustang should have only 2 holders and the mileage should be approximately comprehensible. The so-called matching numbers are assumed and a valuation report from July 2020 certifies this vehicle a market value of € 29,500 and an overall condition score of 3-. The car is already in possession of an H-approval, a last completed TÜV has its validity until April 2025.

Exterior colour/varnish/body:

According to the seller, repainting on the blue body can not be ruled out over the years, an accident-free condition can be confirmed according to the current owner in the time since he owns the Mustang. Visually, this Ford Mustang Cabriolet is apparently in good condition, all chrome parts still shine as they should and the white convertible top presents itself in decent condition. In order to look at the car in detail, we recommend reviewing the meaningful series of pictures of the Mustang - also the videos of the vehicle allow a better insight into the condition.

Exterior rims/brakes/chassis:

5-spoke alloy rims together with tires of the brand Fulda - which still have about 30-50% of their new condition - provide the further visual appearance of this Mustang convertible. The seller attests to the brakes a condition of 50-70%, in the area of the chassis according to him no inconsistencies are to be discovered.

Interior:

The leather seats and door panels are as white as the soft top of this convertible: only the dashboard is classic black and the footwell carpet is dark blue. A visual eye-catcher in the interior is the 3-spoke chrome/wooden steering wheel. On-board equipment includes power windows and power steering. According to the seller, the function of the electric convertible roof is perfectly given and it can be easily opened and locked again. As a defect in the interior, the current holder indicates the rear plastic parts, which, according to him, are somewhat outdated. In general, however, the interior can be attributed a good condition without rough signs of use in view of the vehicle age of over 50 years.

Mileage:

This Mustang convertible is said to have covered 109,815 miles after consultation with the seller since its first registration in 1971 - converted into kilometers that would be about 176,730 km. All displays, instruments and controls work perfectly in the interior.

Engine:

The 5.8-liter V8 engine of this Ford Mustang convertible delivers 245 hp - the power transmission to the rear axle takes over an automatic transmission. The seller mentions that the oil pan and the differential are a bit damp with oil, but the technology is in solid shape and a rich exhaust system is mounted for good sound. In July 2016, final service work on the car took place.

Subsoil:

Only slight flash rust is to be complained about on the underbody of this vehicle, but according to the seller, the underside of the Mustang has a healthy substance as a whole. For many, the Mustang is the most beautiful way of the "American way of drive". Fascinating V8 sound, robust mechanics and sporty looks characterize a Ford Mustang, among other things. In this convertible offered here for auction, the color combination and above all the small number of owners ensures enthusiasm. Open the roof and cruise towards the sun is the motto here!
