Id like to buy that mustang....any idea what year and model it is... im pretty sure its 70-73 but id like to know the year the hood is throwing me off cause its plain, no scoop or vents....95% of cars i see online of those years dont have a plain hood
It is a 1971, but not a mach 1. It is what was called a sports roof, 70's lingo for a cupe. Don't confuse it with the Grandé model that looked the same but came with a full vinyl top and special emblems on the rear-roof pillars. This car will be the lowest performing mustang with a 250ci six banger or if your lucky, the low performance 302. The ram air hoods were for the 351ci engined mach 1 and boss 302. Dont spend alot on this one, but it will be a fun car to drive.
cool finally someone who knows what they are talking about. i think this one doesnt even have a motor in it... we are planning a full restore...we are planning alot of time in this car we would put a bigger motor in there.
do you think its a bad idea? i think the car looks great, i love the body shape i know this is always hard to say but how much should i be paying for this? with and without motor? the body seems in ok shape...a little rust.
i had actually found that site.... i only found 1 mustang that didnt have the scoops in the good....with the vertical lights and it looks different.... plus that doesnt even tell me what style or year it is.
mine has silver trim in the front...this one has painted trim the lights are also dif..mine are chrome around and his are not
i really cant seem to find any pictures on the net that look like this car i want

May be a trim option. I had an original owner 72 coupe and mine had the lights in the grille. If you really want to know the cars year, check out the VIN. The first digit will either be a 1,2,or 3(1=1971,2=1972,3=1973).
Everones right!!!! It can be either a 71 or a 72. The standard grill for that body style (hardtop coupe) was the 1965 style with horse, corral and wings to both sides.
The grill with fog lights, as shown in your pictures were optional for both years, and standard for the Mach 1, Boss and most fastbacks.
In all respects, you cannot tell the difference between a 71 or a 72. The taillights and rear end of both years were the same, as was the general layout of the interior to include steering wheel and gages. Even the sides are the same with the same running lights, chrome trimmed wheel wells and MUSTANG script on the front fender. The only way you will know what year it is will be the cars title or VIN#.
