A Rare Find—a fully-equipped ’73 Mustang Cobra Jet Convertible
The “Q Code” Cobra Jets are always the most sought-after Mustangs, and the 1973 4-speed convertible we have for
sale is one of those rare cars. This fully-restored Mustang is equipped as follows:
· A true “Q code” car with a “Q” in VIN
· Marti Report
· 35l Cobra Jet engine with functional Ram Air
· 4-speed Hurst top-loader transmission
· Traction-Lok differential
· Competition suspension
· Air conditioning (that blows cold)
· Front disc brakes
· Tilt wheel
· Power: windows, steering, brakes, antenna
Great Looking
· Paint and Chrome
Resprayed in Medium Copper Metallic, this car’s finish looks like new as one would expect for a car that
underwent a full restoration.
The chrome is extremely nice as is the stainless trim.
The black convertible top looks as new and the power top mechanism works flawlessly.
· Interior
The Ginger Knitted vinyl interior upholstery was all redone and looks like new. The door panels are excellent as
is the carpeting. The dash and instruments are in excellent cosmetic condition and the instrument package includes
a tachometer.
· Engine
This 351 Cobra Jet engine was rebuilt during the car’s restoration, adding a mild cam to increase performance.
During restoration, a factory-original Ram Air System was incorporated. As mentioned, the car is a “Q-code”
car as verified by the VIN plate.
· Transmission
The four-speed fully synchromesh transmission operates correctly and makes this car a pleasure to drive. It is a
Hurst top-loader transmission that is smooth as silk. The Traction-Lok differential insures that the engine’s
power makes it to the pavement.
· Chassis
The underside of this Mustang is remarkably clean for a driver, suggesting that it has seen little bad weather. It
appears to be free of any visible rust or corrosion other than surface rust and a small hole in front of the left
rear tire.
· Safety and Comfort features
The car has front disc brakes, a front anti-sway bar and competition suspension, all of which contribute to the
Mustang’s stability. Seat belts provide for additional passenger safety.
All of the safety and accessory features work—lights, turn signals, wipers, horn, etc. except for the backup
lights and dash lights. All of the instruments are in very good cosmetic condition and work. The instrument
package also includes a tachometer and a clock—both of which work. The four 15” Magnum 500 wheels are fitted
with BF Goodrich Radial T/A 235/60R15 tires that look almost new.
The factory air conditioning works properly as do the four power windows and the power top.
There is a front spoiler and a racing-type gas filler cap on the rear.
An Extremely Nice Example of a Rare Q-code Mustang Convertible
This is a performance Mustang that has no “issues”. With a Cobra Jet engine and a Hurst 4-speed, it looks,
performs and excites like it did back in 1973 when it came to U.S. showrooms. Equipped with all the power and
comfort equipment one could wish for, it is an impressive car at the cruise-ins, car shows or just driving around
your home town.

2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volvo XC40 Recharge score high in IIHS tests
Thu, Apr 22 2021New electric cars continue their streak of impressive crash test results. The two latest to go through Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing are the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E and the 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge. The former earned a Top Safety Pick award, and the latter picked up the Top Safety Pick+ commendation. Both vehicles got the top "Good" rating in every crash test, as well as the "Superior" rating for vehicle-to-vehicle collision prevention. They deviate when it comes to headlights and vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention. Because the Volvo has headlights rated "Good" on all trims, it got that extra "+" on its Top Safety Pick award. The Ford also has high-rated headlights available, but the standard units got the second lowest rating of "Marginal." As for the vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention, the Volvo received the second-highest "Advanced" rating, while the Ford was rated "Superior." Among the electric cars IIHS has tested, the Ford and Volvo continue a streak of high scores. The organization has evaluated the Audi E-Tron in both its body styles, as well as the Tesla Model 3, both of which get the Top Safety Pick+ rating. As a result of the XC40 Recharge's test score, Volvo pointed out that it is the only automaker whose entire lineup has received a Top Safety Pick+ rating.

Ford decides C-Max shoppers not interested in fuel economy
Sat, Oct 25 2014If you say a car – the Ford C-Max Hybrid, for example – is "fun to drive," can anyone really come up with some empirical evidence against your claim? What about calling it "versatile"? We wonder if Ford has been thinking along these lines when it talks about the green little hatch. Ford is refocusing its sales strategy for the C-Max Hybrid after the model took a sales hit on both sides of the Atlantic recently, Automotive News reports. That sales dropoff may stem from the fact that Ford has had to revise its fuel-economy figures downward for the C-Max twice since last year, most recently in June. That made the company's once-proud fuel-economy comparisons with the Toyota Prius kind of pointless. Ford is going a different route, calling the model versatile (which, to be fair it was also doing a year ago), technologically advanced and fun to drive. Since the C-Max has about 50 more horsepower than the Prius, that last part may be true. Ford representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the mpg-mention-free advertising direction, but we will update this post if we hear back. Sales of the C-Max Hybrid have suffered in the US. Through September, Ford sold 15,245 C-Max Hybrids, down 36 percent from last year. We shall see if a new focus away from the car's lowered mpg numbers helps. At least Ford can be pleased with sales of the C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid, which are up 51 percent compared to 2013.
Ford's Simple Suit Makes You Feel Like A Drunk Driver
Tue, Mar 25 2014We've all heard about the dangers of drunk driving for practically our entire lives. Whether it's from PSAs on TV or lectures in school, no one can claim ignorance of drunk driving being extremely dangerous. However, that doesn't prevent some people from still doing it. Ford is trying to take the safety message directly to young drivers with a special suit that allows them to simulate driving under the influence. It is all part of Ford's Driving Skills for Life program that gives free driving education to young people. The program is meant to "train kids in skills they don't learn in driver's ed," said Kelli Felker, Ford Safety Communications Manager, to Autoblog. The drivers don a few items to impair their senses and make them off-balance to simulate having a few too many drinks and then go out on a closed course with an instructor to see the effects. Felker said that the suit is a new part of the program, and Ford just received the outfit in the US. It will be incorporated into the training here in the late spring or early summer. Scroll down to see the effect it has on drivers in Europe. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
