| 1972 Mustang Sprint Convertible |
Lot: 37
Most people have never seen one of these rare 1972 Mustang Sprint convertibles. Most people do not even know they exist. In fact on April 5, 1991, Ford Motor Company sent a letter out saying they had never produced these rare cars. Obviously Ford Motor Company was mistaken and they did indeed make these incredible Mustangs. 50 identical Sprint convertibles were assembled in March at the Dearborn plant. The VIN numbers for the 50-of-a-kind convertibles were sequential from 2F03F184256 to 2F03F184305. After the parade, the cars were distributed to the Washington-area Ford dealers and sold to the public for an asking sticker price of $3,272.22 or higher. A customer/dealer copy of a Special Equipment Parts List from FOMOCO dated March 3, 1972, lists 27 parts as part of the Sprint package. All the cars came with a 302 engine, automatic transmission, AM radio, deluxe sprint convertible interior, power steering and disc brakes. The red, white and blue Sprint theme is on the outside of the car with Grabber Blue rocker panels, rear valence, rear panel and front hood stripes. The interior continues this sprint theme with white highback front seats with blue inserts along with a matching rear seat. It has an automatic power top with a solid rear glass window. This edition has been restored as original. All numbers match. The original dealer invoice as well as other documentation is included with this vehicle. This very car is documented on pages 47-48 of the "Standard Catalog of Mustangs". If you are looking for a fun and rare Mustang, this 1972 Mustang Sprint convertible is worthy of your consideration.
