Ford Mustang 351 Cleveland V8 1973
General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of Saint Louis is proud to offer this beautifully restored 1973 Ford Mustang convertible. This Mustang has undergone a rotisserie restoration in 2016. The car has been rebuilt from stem to stern including the 351 Cleveland V8. Behind the 351 is a desirable 4 speed top loader transmission and a 9” rear end with Trac Lok and 3.25 gears. The suspension has been rebuilt as well including lowering the front end 1”. With this new stance, and an awesome set of custom wheels and tires, the Mustang has a killer look. The exterior is coated in silver with a painted black stripe to really make it pop. The black convertible top is new and is power actuated. In addition, the interior has been updated with some slick custom upholstery from TMI. These sporty seats would look at home in a Ferrari or high-end custom, so they really dress up the interior in this Mustang. This car has just enough flare to really look great, without being too over the top custom that you’d be afraid to drive it. This car is begging to be taken to car shows or taken out for a long weekend cruise. You can see this 1973 Ford Mustang in greater detail in our St. Louis showroom or at http://www.GatewayClassicCars.com. Please contact 618-271-3000 or stl@gatewayclassiccars.com.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
