1973 Ford Mustang |
| Power ratings dropped even further during the 1973 model year as emissions regulations began strangling output. The six now made a totally inadequate 88 horsepower, the 302 just 135 ponies, and the two remaining 351s (a two-barrel of Windsor design and a two-barrel Cleveland) just over 150 horsepower each. |

| Even though 1973 sales picked up to 134,867 cars, it was obviously time for Ford to rethink the Mustang. |
