I'm not sure what the original sticker would have been. It came to me with a Deluxe Marti report but that doesn't seem to mention the original list price. Internet sources say that a base convertible started at around $3000 in the U.S. That's about the same as a Mach1 which probably came with much better trim and a bigger engine.
Nowadays, the 71-73 cars don't seem to get the prices that the earlier cars command but I've always liked them.

WTG....you will see a 1970 original owner Grande in a future neat cars post.

The Grande is an easily forgotten Mustang. It was simply overshadowed by the Mach I was was a really coo car in its own right.

That is really cool.

I am not sure what you mean by "some parts are 64 1/2 thought, i guess what was left over the previous day"

They would all be 64 1/2 parts.

You carpet should only cover the floor with vinyl up the sill .

Do you have a 260V8? Those would be blue from the factory.

The 289 was black block and gold air cleaner and valve covers.
