This Mustang is a good driver as it is... It does need some sheet metal work done to the undercarriage floor board driver side. Frame rails, engine compartment and trunk are in good condition. Motor is in good condition and engine runs extremely strong. Engine has been tuned with new plugs, oil change, filter, etc. All lights and instruments work on the car. The shifter on the car needs attention, however the car shifts through the gears nicely. The carpet needs to be replaced. The headliner has two small holes under each visor. The driver seat needs to be re-stitched. The car interior is very clean. The paint has several bubbles coming through around and near the rear vents. Car needs to be restored. There is a small area on the passenger door where a minor amount of glass was used, other then that the car is smooth and not wavy. Engine and engine compartment is great for the mileage and original to the car. Metal is in good condition, windows and glass in good condition, vents work fine, rear seat folds down perfectly and the trunk passageway to interior is in tack and working fine.
Car includes new Cragar SS Wheels and B. F. Goodrick TA Radial Tires with transferrable warranty. Also includes original steel styled wheels and older tires.
