1973 would be the last year of the classic Mustang, as the following year would bring about a redesign like the country had never seen (or wanted) due to the looming fuel crisis and influx of economy cars from Japan. The Mustang was offered as a convertible; the last of the sort until the mid 1980s, and there were some minor alterations to the 1973 model such as realigned turn signal lights. The Mach1 was packed with the biggest engine for 1973, the 352 Cobra Jet engine building just 266 horsepower, and it was available only as a fastback. Considering the "market direction" which brought about the end of the pony car era Mustangs, the high performance Mach1 was the second best selling Mustang in 1973, second only to the base model coupe. Considering the fabulous introduction and the years of ultra high performance engines, it was a disappointing end to this era, and the federal regulations can be blamed for that. There were no special edition Mustangs offered in 1973, although the Mach1 was featured in a 40 minute chase scene in a 1974 release of Gone in 60 seconds. Even with the public notice of this low budget release sales were not very good, mostly due to the constant drop in advertised horsepower. In its last year as a pony car, the Mustang sold almost as few units as were sold in the partial 1964 model year, but 1973 was a full model year.
