1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 351

Description

By 1972, the Mustang had adopted the longer hood, prominent grille, and muscular proportions that defined the late first-generation pony car. The Mach 1 SportsRoof package added distinctive visual cues, including body-side striping, a sport-focused interior, and a color-keyed urethane front bumper. Combined with V8 power and a range of performance options, the Mach 1 remained Ford's flagship Mustang, blending aggressive styling with everyday drivability.

This 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is powered by a 351ci V8 paired with a three-speed FMX automatic transmission and is finished in Medium Bright Yellow over Ginger knit vinyl upholstery. Produced on June 13, 1972, this Mach 1 was ordered through Mullins Ford Inc. of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and was factory equipped with SelectAire air conditioning, power steering, power front disc brakes, and the Mach 1 Sports Interior package per the included Deluxe Marti Report.

This 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 351 is now offered by the selling dealer in Alabama with a Deluxe Marti Report and a clean Tennessee title.
