A Rare Find—a fully-equipped ’73 Mustang Cobra Jet Convertible
The “Q Code” Cobra Jets are always the most sought-after Mustangs, and the 1973 4-speed convertible we have for
sale is one of those rare cars. This fully-restored Mustang is equipped as follows:
· A true “Q code” car with a “Q” in VIN
· Marti Report
· 35l Cobra Jet engine with functional Ram Air
· 4-speed Hurst top-loader transmission
· Traction-Lok differential
· Competition suspension
· Air conditioning (that blows cold)
· Front disc brakes
· Tilt wheel
· Power: windows, steering, brakes, antenna
Great Looking
· Paint and Chrome
Resprayed in Medium Copper Metallic, this car’s finish looks like new as one would expect for a car that
underwent a full restoration.
The chrome is extremely nice as is the stainless trim.
The black convertible top looks as new and the power top mechanism works flawlessly.
· Interior
The Ginger Knitted vinyl interior upholstery was all redone and looks like new. The door panels are excellent as
is the carpeting. The dash and instruments are in excellent cosmetic condition and the instrument package includes
a tachometer.
· Engine
This 351 Cobra Jet engine was rebuilt during the car’s restoration, adding a mild cam to increase performance.
During restoration, a factory-original Ram Air System was incorporated. As mentioned, the car is a “Q-code”
car as verified by the VIN plate.
· Transmission
The four-speed fully synchromesh transmission operates correctly and makes this car a pleasure to drive. It is a
Hurst top-loader transmission that is smooth as silk. The Traction-Lok differential insures that the engine’s
power makes it to the pavement.
· Chassis
The underside of this Mustang is remarkably clean for a driver, suggesting that it has seen little bad weather. It
appears to be free of any visible rust or corrosion other than surface rust and a small hole in front of the left
rear tire.
· Safety and Comfort features
The car has front disc brakes, a front anti-sway bar and competition suspension, all of which contribute to the
Mustang’s stability. Seat belts provide for additional passenger safety.
All of the safety and accessory features work—lights, turn signals, wipers, horn, etc. except for the backup
lights and dash lights. All of the instruments are in very good cosmetic condition and work. The instrument
package also includes a tachometer and a clock—both of which work. The four 15” Magnum 500 wheels are fitted
with BF Goodrich Radial T/A 235/60R15 tires that look almost new.
The factory air conditioning works properly as do the four power windows and the power top.
There is a front spoiler and a racing-type gas filler cap on the rear.
An Extremely Nice Example of a Rare Q-code Mustang Convertible
This is a performance Mustang that has no “issues”. With a Cobra Jet engine and a Hurst 4-speed, it looks,
performs and excites like it did back in 1973 when it came to U.S. showrooms. Equipped with all the power and
comfort equipment one could wish for, it is an impressive car at the cruise-ins, car shows or just driving around
your home town.

2016 Ford Mustang getting California Special treatment

Fri, May 8 2015

The sixth-generation Mustang hasn't even been around for a full year, but Ford is already prepping a couple of tweaks for 2016. We've now learned that there will be a California Special version, and if that name sounds familiar, it's because Ford has a long history of doing the GT/CS treatment on its 'Stangs. We don't have anything to go on right now, save the image you see here. But previous California Special versions were limited to things like new wheels, spoilers, badges, and some paint options, so we aren't expecting anything too drastic. It's also unclear if Ford will offer the new GT/CS on both the coupe and convertible, or if it'll just stick to the hardtop. We'll get the full details on Monday, May 11 – that's when Ford will reveal everything it's done for the 2016 Mustang lineup. Stay tuned.

Ford and OMS bring military ride-and-drive program to Hockenheimring

Tue, Jun 9 2015

This post is appearing on Autoblog Military, Autoblog's sub-site dedicated to the vehicles, aircraft and ships of the world's armed forces. It kind of goes without saying, but joining the military means you won't be enjoying quite as much leisure time as members of the civilian world. That said, when a chance to let your hair down does come along, servicemembers usually enjoy some very unique opportunities... like driving a new Ford Mustang and F-150 around Germany's Hockenheimring. Ford and the Overseas Military Sales Corporation, the on-base retailer for the Blue Oval and the same outfit that worked out a raffle program for servicemembers to purchase the limited-edition 50th Anniversary Mustang, put together the ride-and-drive program at Germany's second most famous circuit. The OMS allows military men and women to purchase vehicles for both on-base use and for pickup when they arrive back in the United States. "The Ford Driving Freedom ride-and-drive event is designed to introduce the new 2015 Ford Mustang and F-150 to military personnel who are stationed on US bases across Europe," Ford fleet sales manager Doug Walczak said in the attached statement. "It's the first time such an event has been held overseas." According to Ford, over 300 servicemen and women applied to take part in this pilot program, which was more than double what Ford and OMS had room for. With such an impressive response rate, it's no surprise that similar events could come to other US bases. Scroll down for the official press release from Ford. U.S. Military Personnel Take Ford Mustang, F-150 for a Ride at Hockenheimring Racetrack · Ford and the Overseas Military Sales Corporation host first-ever Ford Driving Freedom ride-and-drive event for U.S. military personnel stationed on bases across Europe Â· U.S. military personnel got the unique opportunity to drive the Ford F-150 and Ford Mustang on Hockenheimring racetrack in Germany Â· Ford has worked with Overseas Military Sales Corporation since 1995 to offer Ford and Lincoln vehicles for sale throughout the Americas, as well as in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as well as on select Navy ships HOCKENHEIMRING, Germany, June 9, 2015 Â– Members of the U.S. military got the unique opportunity to take a test drive of the Ford F-150 and Mustangtoday at Germany's famed Hockenheimring racetrack.
