The Appeal

The 1972 Ford Mustang is a symbol of American muscle, known for its robust performance and iconic design. With its big, throaty powerplants and sheer propensity for muscle, there's no denying that the quintessential Pony Car is an absolute icon of classic American motoring.

This particular Mustang, with its striking blue exterior and matching interior, captures the spirit of the era. Well-maintained with a solid underside that has been undersealed in certain areas for added protection, the presents very nicely, with only minor chips and light scratches visible from close up.

Its electric roof is in good working order, it's got plenty of time on its MOT - and it's eminently usable.
