An Interesting and Mysterious 351C Secret and the ‘Busy Bee’ 1973 Mustang Mach 1 Cobra Jet

To be eligible for awards for unique classic automobile stories, one need not become a barn find. An auction house that specializes in farm machinery is selling this 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Cobra Jet as an example. That is merely the beginning; the description fails to do justice to the full extent of the dish.

 

This stunning 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 in yellow and black is being auctioned off by BigIron. It appears to be almost ready to begin spring training for nectar collection among other active bees.

Agricultural machinery, tractors, and large vehicles are the main topics of this odd source. Sadly, this isn’t really about historic automobiles, but this is a first-generation pony car boasting Mach 1 and Cobra Jet credentials, hoping to entice a future owner.

The model boldly displays all the changes made to the series by the Blue Oval’s midcycle upgrade since it was born in 1973, immediately before the original generation Mach 1 came to an end. The change to the 1973 model year necessitated a makeover, which included a number of cosmetic changes.

Although not everyone will appreciate this Mustang Fastback’s vibrant yellow paint job and tasteful Mach 1 black accents, its buyer can be certain that it will turn heads wherever it goes. The paint job isn’t the only thing making it stand out; the low mileage of 12,610 miles (20,294 km) also helps.

аt this pоint, the plоt thickens, but we still Ԁоn’t knоw whether the mileаge is аccurаte. а picture frоm the gаllery hаs а cаrԀ thаt reаԀs, “2 yоung men wоrkeԀ tо restоre this cаr.” Hоwever, the Ԁescriptiоn is silent оn the subject. The оther ԀiԀ nоt chооse tо retаin it аfter its unexpecteԀ Ԁeаth аnԀ insteаԀ cоnsigneԀ it tо аn аuctiоn in ScоttsԀаle, аrizоnа, in аpril 2011.

The fact that this Mustang is now a “very quick car” is due in large part to the 351ci (5.76L) Cleveland high-performance engine that comes standard on all of these models. The good news is that you can find all of that information in the auction description. By the way, this indicates that there is a present location in Giltner, Nebraska, personal ownership (rather than dealer ownership), and the top bid is only $18,500 with nine days left.
