Welcome to the 1972 Mustang Sprint Registry discussion forum!!! Hopefully, this forum will provide the members of the registry (and those interested in 1972 Sprints) to discuss their cars and learn quite a lot about these cars. Enjoy!!
Disappointed in Earl!!!!

Earl.........I think you should cut "YOUR HEAD" off.
Do NOT....I repeat....DO NOT cut the top off that car. Sell it to someone who would appreciate it.
Obviously you do not deserve to have that car. I wholly agree with Rex and Bill. If money is not an issue then you are even more of a moron.
Buy yerself a nice convertible and give the rest of your money to "Habitats For Humanity".
They would make better use of your money than you!!!
Cut the top off a classic car.....!!!
DOOUUGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep....I called 'em up and in 4-8wks I'm gonna find out what my Sprint was like when it was new.
Freakin Kewl!!!!!
I love this stuff!!!!!!!!! My wife...bless her heart...has fun with all of it too.
I new all about my Tigers. I joined all the clubs and did all the research on all 3 of them. Man the vision of those people. Outstanding!!!
And the Mustang...whoa!!! I always loved them too. Now I have a Mustang, a 1972 Mustang Sprint at that.
I'm thrilled to be finding out about this awesome car. I will be joining clubs soon. After the holidays though. Catch a few meets. Do some research. Meet some new friends. Most of all....restore my beautiful classic Pony. Almost as good as SEX! NOT!!
Thanks to everyone on this wonderful website. Great information here! I have a friend who has a sprint A car he thinks.
My question centers around the trim rings/center caps on the car. Were the factory wheels 14 X 7 or 14 X 6? I have a very nice driver set of the 14 X 6 rings I've had since I sold a 73 mach 1 6 months ago.
Also the centers which say "FORD MOTOR COMPANY" I know the paint stripe is blue instead of the standard black. How hard is it to find the centers NOS?
I have a huge selection of used 71/73 mustang parts. Note I have two 71/72 Mach1 grills they are for trade only I'm looking for Boss351 parts. I live in Evansville' IN if you live near by and want to look email me. If your in need of parts email me to I do ship some items Thanks
Hi everyone....heres the VIN# of my Sprint.
VIN# 2F01H171562.
I am happy to know its 1 of 1486. I was hope'n it was
1 of 90. But its not.
I have no idea what package it is nor any of the options that originally came on this car. Would Love to know though. Very important in the restoration.
However....by the VIN# I see the 351 was a 2V and that has all changed. It now has a Carter AFB and an Edelbrock Hi-Rise Intake Manifold. It has freakin air shocks on the rear now. Bummer man!!! Theres a trailer hitch at the license plate so I guess the previous owner was towing their boat or something.
The complete power train was re-built at 88,000. The carb was a holley and a stock 4brl manifold. So the previous owner switched the 2brl to the Holley 4brl.
When I had the re-build done I added the Carter and the Hi-Rise Manifold and a mild race cam. Carters RULE!!!!!!!! The car runs real strong.
The FMX has a Borg-Warner Shift Kit and the Diff. has 3:52 gears.
I am sorry to say I have not started the car since '93.
Other priorities....
So.........LETS ROLL!!!! Boy am I excited to do this!!
I look forward meeting all of you I can. I'll do photos of the project as well. Just hope I find the money to do it.
My wife says......KEWL!!!!! Lets do it!!!
Shes Awesome!!
I have fallen in love with the fastback Mustang sprint. I do not want to restore, but car does not have to be totally mint. I live in CT, so the closer, the better. I never realized that this option package existed until a week ago. It is extra special to me, because I graduated from HS in 1972! Thank you, Frank Fleming cttolv@aol.com
I was doing some work on the front end of the car and fond a stamped metal tag held by a single screw. the tag has the Vin # some of the same info. that is on the drivers side i.d tag. Dose any one know what this tag is?
Post some of the codes that you have questions about. You don't have to post the VIN if you don't want to. I decoded most of mine quite a while ago and might be able to help.
63D -> This is the body style code. Sportsroof, bucket seats
246 304 -> These are probably sequencing numbers used by the factory.
9A -> This is the paint code. White.
HB -> This is the trim code. HB = Sprint interior.
BTRAC -> The general consensus on this is that it means "BoTh RACing" mirrors, which a Sprint would have.
SP -> Maybe stereo AM/FM/8-track (although it seems like it could mean "SPrint")?
BO -> Perhaps "Battery Option" if it got the upgraded 24F battery.
I have maybe a few more weekends to finish a few small things and she will be ready to paint.The engine is almost fiinished as well.I can just hear that 351c rumbling now!!!!!!I cant hardly wait to get everything put back together so I can finally drive her.Its great having something diffrent!
