2023 Market Review - Ford Mustang V8 1969-1973

Australia rediscovered its love for the Ford Mustang in 1971, the year that Ford radically changed the styling to include a Sportsroof that hardly sloped at. 

Local Ford dealers imported dozens of 1971 Mustangs, although not so many 1972-73 cars of similar shape. Plenty have survived or been imported since and good examples with 4.9 or 5.7-litre motors cost less than $50,000.

The transitional 1969-70 Mustangs are wider and beefier than earlier versions, with an engine bay able to accommodate Ford’s biggest V8s. Most from this series that we see here have 302 cubic inch (4.9-litre) engines with automatic transmission and $55,000 is top money unless a car is outstanding.
