1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1

 Today we will be talking about the first car in our line up. This car was made by Ford and came when muscle cars were getting to be popular. It is the 1973 Ford Mustang Boss. 

The car's engine was Ford's 351 V8 Cleveland engine. This was a engine part of the 335 engine family. The engine family was a small block V8 engine that was built by the Ford motor company. The were nicknames Cleveland after the factory that produced them in Cleveland, Ohio. The engine gave the vehicle 288 horse power.

The top speed for this mustang was 86 mph. Its 0-60 time was 9.9 seconds. Today, this cars speed really isn't that good compared to others. It's fuel economy was 17.1 miles per gallon. Now time to the model design.

The most noticeable feature is the NASA inspired hood.It had two hood scooped. The enlarged bumper was added to meet the requirements of safety. The rear bumper was added to something called impact absorbing extensions. This caused the bumper to stick out from the body.

In conclusion, the speed of the mustang is not very good, but the engine seemed to have a bit of power. With the various additions to the body gave it a unique body. My personal rating for the car is a .......  7.
