He purchased this Mustang as a new vehicle from East Tennessee Ford, now Lance Cunningham Ford in Knoxville, Tennessee. This car is as good as it gets. All the original paint, body,engine andinteriorare in almost showroom condition. This car has always been garaged in a climate controlled environment. Since I have owned it, I have replaced the original battery with a new Motorcraft battery, the hatchback struts and the door strikers.The air conditioner will need to be recharged with R 12 Freon. The speedometer cable will need some graphite. It makes a clicking sound at certain speeds. I do know that my great aunt had the muffler replaced due to a rattling sound in it. This car has no fluid leaks as far as I can tell. The engine runs strong and the transmission shifts smoothly. The original paint and body are excellent. The t-tops removes easily and all the seals appear to be in excellent condition. The interior seats and carpet are excellent. All the gauges appear to be in working condition. The padded dash has no cracks! The mileage is accurate at 11,506 miles! This Mustang runs and drives like new and istruly a time capsule from 1982.

A bidder asked me about the stripes on my car yesterday. This morning, I talked with a person who worked at East Tennessee Ford in 1982. He told me that thisstripe kit was a Ford Motor Companyfactory dealeradd-on option. Itcame in two colors ...red like on my car and blue. Evidently, many options were factory dealeradd-ons at that time.Even air conditioning was a factory dealeradd-on option on many cars. He was actuallythe person at that time, who installed the add-on air conditioning on many of these cars. The dealer would order the kits from from Ford and install them at the owner's request or the dealer would order the kits from Ford, install and sell them with the stripes already added.I asked my great aunt about it and she said her father-in- law bought this car off of the showroom flooras it looks today with the stripes already on it.
