    Its a Sprint wanna-be. 72 was the only year for them.

    Clean little car. I'd drive around in it, especially @ today's gas prices! :bananaman

    I'd make a point to never call it an "All American" model though (no such thing as far as I can find).

    Oldsmobile 4-4-2s, Buick Grand Sports, Pontiac GTOs, Plymouth Barracudas, Shelby Mustang GT-350/500s, Ford Torino GTs (oh yeah, and the S&H Gran Torino), and '69 Chevy Camaros, are really cool cars...

    You should pick up a copy of the June 2004 issue of Mustang Monthly.
    There is a '70 Mach I featured that was one of several cars built to
    do promotions to soldiers overseas. The paint scheme is going to look
    very familiar to you.
    The cars were used in performance demos.
    Perhaps this is where the Sprint paint scheme came from?

    I'd drive that.

    Definitely look for a 2.3 turbo for it though!
