Refurbished original radio, and Polished original dashboard chrome knobs, levers, and trim.

Only Modification done to the car is an underdash AudioVox AM/FM converter from the 1970s.

Only Issues: Small hole in the original headliner near driver’s sun visor that could probably be patched. Turning indicators do not work, but we tested the wiring and traced it back to the turning indicator switch. Transmission fluid leaks a bit, but the transmission pan gasket is the culprit, as it is the original gasket. All of these are relatively easy fixes, but I have run out of time and money to repair them.

This Mustang has run a pattern of being driven for a bit, then sitting in a covered area for a while, resulting in the 29,000 miles. Keeping the trend going, this Mustang has been purely garage-kept for the past year as I have worked on it. Its original owner, “Shorty,” was a member of the Mustang Club of America and took it to car shows in the 70s and 80s. It has a Texaco service sticker in the driver side door jamb that shows it having 24,000 miles in 1997. Inside the trunk, the original jacking instruction sticker can be found, as well as a period correct spare tire and the original jack, tire iron, and lug wrench.

I am selling this Mustang because after spending a year working on it, I am ready to start on another project car. I am also selling this car bundled with all of the original parts and bolts I took off of the car and replaced, as well as new front springs that you can install if you would like.

Asking $18,000 or Best Offer. Serious offers only. NO TRADES.
