1972 Ford Mustang Models
The 1972 Ford Mustang models were largely unchanged cosmetically from the previous 1971 model. The focus of the 1972 Mustangs was on meeting government emissions regulations rather than restyling. One of the only differences between the 1971 and 1972 models is the Mustang script located on the rear passenger side. The Boss 351 edition and optional 429 big block engines were dropped after 1971, leaving the 351 cu in (5.8 L) variants as the largest available engines for 1972. The only performance model that remained for the entire 1972 model year was the Mach 1 .
To summarize, the models of the 1972 Ford Mustang included the Mach 1, which was the only performance model available for the entire year. Other models were largely unchanged from the previous year, with the focus on meeting emissions regulations .
