71 Mustang Question

Angelo,

The convertible could be had with the Cobra Jet 4-bbl engine and Ram-Air, but a convertible is a Code 03 car I believe, and the Mach 1's were Code 05. The Mach 1 stripes were very popular at the time, and many people had their cars "Mached 1'd " so to speak with the stripe upgrade right at the dealership. The Mach 1 Stripes were available in 1972 also, but were changed in 1973. However, you'll still see numerous 1973 cars with the earlier stripe kits because they're just better looking. I'm no expert, but that's what I've dug up in my references. 6121 Convertibles by the way -- 36,499 Mach 1's.
