I’ve already been there and done that with the tires, belts, and hoses. I cannot even imagine going down the highway on 20-year-old tires, and waiting for a belt or hose to go at any given moment! I’m sure your 73 Mach 1 could beat me off the line, and run circles around my 18 ft. long by 6 ½ ft. wide land yacht. And it probably gets better mileage than my penny pinching 9 around town, and thrifty 11-14 on the highway. Does your Mustang require premium fuel? The 430 under my hood requests only the very best Dom Perignon high-test fuel, which I’m obliged to give it to avoid having in grouse at me by pinging and poor performance. Well, after all one had to worry about fuel economy, this was not the car to by in the first place.They definitely don't.
I can add that you are definitely going to have to replace just about every rubber part on it as well. Tires, hoses, belts etc. All of those things go at the worst possible times if you don't replace them all at once.
Off now to jump into the 73 Mach 1 and jet home.
