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!!

The Sprint option was only available on the standard model. I am not sure about the convertibles, but the hardtop and sportroof models should all be standard, not deluxe door panels. Of course, they could be changed to deluxe at any time by the owner.
I have a "B" Package fastback with 351C and Auto and it is all original, be it rather rusted. It has Standard white door panels, with blue arm rests. I have no reason to believe this is not original because I am the second owner of the car. Hope that helps.
Love the website. I bought an unrestored sprint fastback not long ago and I was just looking for information on it. I guess I don't have to look any more. Thanks
I purchased a 72 Sprint Coupe (short rear window and slope rather than long style) upon return from overseas. It had a black vinyl roof, 302 2v with FMX auto (I believe the original engine had been a 390 or 351 CJ but the engine was replaced following an
accident. Essentially the front of the car was 1971 fenders, drum brakes, etc, as discovered when having the brakes worked on due to a size difference. The mechanic was surprised that the car only had a 302 2V with the FMX transmission. Interior was cloth.
The car was purchased in the Newport, Ky area and may have come from DSO 36 or 31.
In 1979, I took it to the Azores (Lajes Field, Tercierra Island), Portugal, and sold it to a fellow service member in 1981 when I was returning to the USA. I heard that the new owner had a brake failure
coming down the mountain. The report was, although I can't verify, the driver survived but the car didn't.
I'm sorry, but I have no record of the VIN. It was not until last year that I discovered that it was more than just "a Mustang".
One humorous thing to report.... When driving cross country to New Jersey (from California) to ship the car to Portugal, we were traveling down the interstate in Iowa when we passed an exact copy of
our car traveling in the opposite direction. The driver and I stared and waved to each other as we passed. Perhaps one of your members was
that driver. Deja vu!!!!!
Just thought you'd like to know where one of your Sprints ended up.

Give me a sense of humor, Lord.
Give me the ability to understand a clean joke,
To get some humor out of life,
And to pass it on to other folks.
I have opened a new web site to give everyone a chance to get the exact mechanical specs downloaded of their cars drive train, engine etc. The web site is
I published a nice book about the 50 sprint convertibles. It's only 30 pages but has many color pictures of several of the surviving cars and a history of why they were produced. Search on blurb.com for this one of a kind publication. Every sprint onwer and enthusiast should own one. I own the 28th convertible made and drive it all the time.
Just got my book. This is a little nugget for the Sprint Convertible owner, Sprint owner, or anybody that enjoys Mustang history. Thank you for taking the effort to present this.
Does anyone know who is the best steering wheel restorers in the business and how to contact them? I have done Google searches and can't find them. Thanks for your help.
