Default 1972 Mustang Grande opinions

Im going to be getting a 72 grande. It has a 351 cleveland engine. It mostly needs nothing but body and interior work. Im looking for opinions on the body and how to up the engine as its all stock. Im not looking for anything major but I definitly want to do - Carb, intake, pipes etc

I need to do some body work first though. I tried to look but couldnt really find anything. Where could I get a fiberglass hood? Also what would be a good a spoiler? I was told a mach 1 spoiler looks good on it.. Any advice or opinions appreciated. If anyone has pics to post that would be good...

The carb if its not a 4 barrel you should change it to one.Only place i know that carries a fiberglass hood for it is Fiberglass Reproduction Body Panels but good luck with one that fits.

Hard to find one that fits?

It does have a 2barrel I will be changing to 4. What size would you guys say? How much would the engine itself bring? Just wondering.. said to have around 15k since brand new when put in. Car itself has around 55K but sits often. Has original seats, rims etc? Any of this stuff worth much? Ill post some pics of it once I get it, it will be driven back over 3hrs.


Thanks for the welcome!
