Hello! New here, was sent over by the fine folks at Strat-Talk.

I’ve been sitting on a Mustang project for YEARS, and due to the current um, scenario, I think it’s time to part ways with this killer body.

Problem is, I really don’t know anything about it...looks authentic to me but was hoping I could confirm that with y’all as well.

My “guess” is ‘73? I bought it many years ago as a ‘72, but it’s recently come to my attention that only the competition colors were available at that time.

Any thoughts? Year? Condition? Authentic?

And of course...what the heck should I price it at? Most of the bodies I see for sale are in rough shape, red, blue, or stripped.

Thanks so much for your help!!!

I'm no expert on Mustang bodies, but it sure does look seventies to me...

Does it have contours? I can't tell from the photos.
I think that started in '74, so you have a narrow window.
The gloppiness under the guard is odd, the poly finishes are usually very smooth, although the color change is right. It looks to me like it's a sunburst that was sprayed white, based soley on these two pics.
Prices are way up on mustangs currently. If that is the original finish, it should be worth $350-400 i think.
