1972 Mustang Sprint ( Olympic Sprint Edition )
During 1972, Ford offered a special eye-catching "Red, White & Blue" color styling package with bold USA Shield decals to commemorate the 1972 USA Olympic Team.
The Sprint Decor Option Group was available between March and June of 1972. The Sprint promotion celebrated the 1972 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the XXth Olympiad in Munich, Germany and the XI Olympic Winter Games in Sapporo, Japan. Ford's USA Sprint Cars promoted our Olympic Team achievements in the double Olympic year of 1972.
The Sprint Decor Option was offered on Mustangs, Pintos and Mavericks. Ford's Olympic Sprint salute was orchestrated to add mid-year flash to the 1972 advertising campaign, and bring more customers into Ford dealership showrooms.
In 1972, Edsel B. Ford was the Merchandising Manager for the Ford Division. Only 24 years old, Edsel had a keen eye for automotive trends both good and bad. He was know to be fond of special trim packages. Ford directed his staff to come up with a saleable treatment that would be tailored to the Mustang, Maverick and Pinto product lines. The marketing boys came up with the Sprint Decor Option to celebrated the 1972 Olympics.
The Sprint Decor Option Package included; Classic white body paint with a racy splash of blue, and a sporty streak of red. Only ( 9,383 ) Mustang Sprints of varying body styles were produced between March and June of 1972.
The Sprint Decor Option Package represented less than ( 7.5% ) of all Mustang production in 1972. - this text courtesy of http://www.1972mustangsprint.com/ -visit that website for more information.
