1972 Mustang Convertible 302 – Superb 5 Litre V8 Cruiser – Tax, MOT & ULEZ exempt

Finished in Ford True Blue Metallic with a black ‘glass’ power hood, Ford White interior and matching tonneau cover its running the original 302 5.0 V8 engine, automatic gearbox, power steering and front power disc brakes. With the Magnaflow exhaust system, Ram Air Hood, Mach 1 splitter & Magnum wheels; it has a tremendous road presence and soundtrack!

The Marti report (please see photo’s) confirms that it left the Dearborn plant in March 1972 and was registered in the UK in June 1972; it must have been quite a sight on our roads back then!

Originally built and supplied in red with a white interior, black power hood, power steering, power front disc brakes, central interior consol and a Decor Group pack including the Mach 1 grille and deluxe door linings; pleasingly, other than the colour change, its retained all of its original specification.

In 2008 it was sent to Simon Merisson of Merissons Classics and was subject to a comprehensive recommission & restoration, all documented in the file; please see photos.

The next owner carried out further works between 2014 and 2017 including:
*Fitted widened Magnum Wheels.
*Upgraded cam covers to Scott Drake 302 “powered by Ford” valve covers with breathable chrome “push on” oil cap to right side & PCV valve to the left.
*New heater core fitted.
*New front suspension fitted by American Auto Services in Hayes.
*New flex coupling to steering column.
*New front brake discs, pads, brake lines & wheel bearings.
*Carb rebuild.
*New Petronix 1281 Solid-State Ignition system fitted to the distributor to improve acceleration.
*New master cylinder fitted.
*New alternator with correct wiring, regulator box & belt.

The most recent owner maintained the car themselves and crucially kept it in regular, dry use.

In July 2024 it arrived with us and was inspected by a specialist engineer with the following works carried out; plugs replaced and correctly gapped, installed distributor cap/rotar arm, neatened ignition wiring and the carb and engine timing have been dialled in.
In addition both back boxes/mufflers have been replaced with stainless steel units.

If you’re looking for a Garage Queen or a show winner this isn’t for you, but if you want a well sorted car that looks, sounds & drives great, you’ve come to the right place…this is the perfect useable V8 cruiser, and it’s ready to go!

As a 52 year old car its now Tax & MOT exempt and the TFL website confirms it as ULEZ compliant.
