Ford Mustang sales for the year of 1972 were significantly down, and Ford was in need of a boost in sales, especially for their standard mustangs. The springtime promotion was on the horizon, as was the 1972 Olympics. From this emerged the 1972 Sprint. The Sprint combined the Exterior Decor Group with a special paint treatment. Sprint editions were available in Hardtop and Sportsroof variants. An additional 50 Sprint convertibles were produced exclusively for the 1972 National Cherry Blossom Parade in Washington D.C.
Had the bucket seats out of one like this in my ’67 Fairlane wagon! Very cool!
