1973 Ford Mustang - One Owner Wonder

This '73 Mustang Has Been A Daily Driver, A Race Car, And A Trophy Winner For The Same Family For 38 YearsIt was December 1972, and John and Anelle Pestrichelli were expecting their second child. They purchased this Blue Glow Metallic hardtop from Neal Pope Ford while living in Buford, Georgia. They figured the well-optioned hardtop would make for a nice, safe ride for Anelle's daily travels, carpooling, and more. We're sure it was indeed a smooth ride with power steering, power disc brakes, A/C, tinted glass, a 351 Cleveland V-8, and an FMX automatic. The hardtop served its first life as a daily driver well, never letting Anelle down in the 18 years of daily use. But toward the end of their second decade together, the hardtop started to show its age. The Pestrichellis had moved to River Edge, New Jersey, in 1976 and the winter snow and salted roads did their worst. The typical rust began creeping up in the rear quarters and the bottom of the doors as well. Anelle finally moved on to another daily driver-a new Ford Taurus-but the Mustang stayed with the family.
