Autohunter Spotlight: 1972 Ford Mustang Sports Facer

I really like it 1971 – 1973 Mustang Sports Hygiene. With the right engine, it’s a powerful performance car, with crazy styling and added comfort mixed together. I like to think of these as real GT cars that offer comfortable, cool styling and performance that makes high-speed off-road travel easy and fun. As a result, when one of them appears on Autohunter, I will try to jump off it to promote it. If it’s one of the rarest versions of Sports Facor, then I’m more inclined to use it. That’s why the Autohunter Spotlight Car today was the 1972 Ford Mustang Sports Fire Sprint.

The keyword is sprint. To commemorate the 1972 Olympics, Ford created a special option for the Mustang called the Sprint Edition. The A-Option Group includes special red, white and blue exterior paint, American graphics on the rear quarter panel, accent stripes, front bumper for color keys, a tail panel with accent stripes, color key wheel cover with decorative rings, ferrule with hood, hood strips, vinyl vinyl bucket, white fists and blue fabric, matching racing mirror and racing mirror 170 and racing mirror 170 and racing. tire. Option B adds Group A plus race suspension, F60x15 raised White letter tires and everything from the Magnum 500 Wheels.

Yes, this 1972 Mustang Sport Sprint now wears white paint with black stripes. That being said, this is the real sprint in 1972. The documentation also notes that the car is a true A-code Mustang sport fire sprint, equipped with a 351CI V8 with two barrels of carbs and an automatic transmission.

Despite the lack of blue stripes and accents, the exterior of this Mustang seems to be in good shape. If I bought this car, I might consider bringing it back to the correct exterior color scheme.

Internal changes have also been made. Vinyl bucket seats now feature standard black vinyl seat covers. I’d definitely replace them with the right sprint covers as they cost less than $1,000. The white door card is correct (original, I guess). The black handrail is not, but it is easy to replace. I will also replace the black carpet with the correct blue carpet because it looks really cool.

Under the hood is the Ford 351CI V8 with a Holley four-barrel carburetor on it, aftermarket aluminum intake manifold, aftermarket air cleaner, MSD ignitor and Ford racing aluminum valve cover. I might be alone except for air cleaners. I would also ask the seller if the engine of this car is original to set my high price figure correctly. If it is the original engine block, the value will rise.

These Mustang sprints are really neat cars and stand out in their original uniforms. I remember seeing them in dealers as a kid and thinking they looked cool. I saw another (convertible) at the Barrett-Jackson auction about 15 years ago and loved the color scheme.

Yes, this car isn’t in its original color scheme, with some modifications over the years. This is normal for a car as old as this Mustang. Again, it’s nice to remember that for several years, the 1971-1973 Mustang was not considered a top collector car. Things have changed over the past five years or so. These cars are also rare, with only 9,383 Mustang sprints built in total. Of these, only 1,908 are the choices for A-type sports; only 1,471 are Those ones Like this, two barrels of 351 V8 are equipped. For me, this car is worth a bid of one or two for a cool rare Mustang that you can enjoy as you gradually bring it back to what it was. If you feel the same way, I recommend you put out your bid as soon as possible, as this auction for the 1972 Ford Mustang Sports Air Defense Sprint was on Monday, March 31, 2025, at 11:15 am (PDT).
