The summer of 1972 was well known for the Olympic games held in Munich, Germany from August to September and the games were supposed to show a new image of a happy Germany post WWII. Instead it was the site of a hostage standoff and massacre of 11 Israeli Olympians and a few terrorists. The product planners at Ford could not have predicted such a calamity and several months prior (March 1972) had released an Olympic Sprint special package for the Mustang, Pinto and Maverick to cash in on the spirit of the games. Those cars aren't really collectors items today for whatever reason, but the package adds some cool factor to the giant Fastback Mustang. Find this 1972 Ford Mustang Olympic Sprint Mach 1 for sale in Marble Falls, TX for $15,000 via craigslist.
