PRICE
The reserve is less than the buy it now price and I am open to reasonable offers. I also have it listed in a local ad.
EBAY FEEDBACK AND SELLER INFORMATION
Ebay feedback is extremely important . I have received xlnt comments from others whom have bought cars from us and most of the cars we listed have sold prior to auctions scheduled end date to buyers that used the Buy It Now feature. I am not a dealer, I am merely selling off a large collection of cars we have had for years and some of our relatives cars that don't have an Ebay account, however, I am an engineer and a mechanic and professional vintage car restorer, and some of the cars I have had sold for world record prices at auctions like Barrett Jackson and others.
PRICE
The price is NOT $16900.00 . It is only $13500.00 but Ebay stupidly forces people to make the reserve at least 30% less than the buy it now, so I had to raise the selling price to get the reserve price I wanted. If you want to "buy it now" for $13500.00, let me know and I will see how I can do that.
VALUE
The body is the most important aspect of these cars, and although they are not nearly as rare like an old Bugatti, they are still collector cars, and good ones are quickly becoming scarce and are rapidly increasing in price. One with good all ORIGINAL sheet like this one has is worth far more than an identical one that has had several body parts replaced with cheap Taiwan made parts which don't line up well and are thinner and more flimsy than the original Ford sheet metal. Cars are only original once, and if you wouldn't want to buy a Bugatti that had Taiwanese made body parts, you might not want to buy a Mustang that had them either if you can help it.

77,000 is the original mileage . The speedometer has not rolled over or been rolled back or been exchanged for a different one.

AIR CONDITIONING
This has the factory style air conditioning and it blows extremely cold. I measured the air temperature coming out of the vent at 42 very frosty degrees when it was 90 very hot degrees inside the car.
ENGINE PERFORMANCE
The engine is 100% original and completely stock and runs extremely well . It always starts right up and it idles smoothly and it does not have any vibration at any rpm . There is never any lifter noise . There is no hesitation when accelerating from any speed, and if you floor it from a complete stop it will roast the rear tire for around 20 feet . It smokes just a very tiny bit for just a second when first accelerating which is common on these old school engines but it is mechanically sound and does not need any repairs whatsoever nor should it for many years to come.
TRANSMISSION
It shifts perfectly and just like it did the day it rolled off the assembly line and has no whine or other unusual noises.
DIFFERENTIAL
There is no whine or other unusual noises like a klanging sound when the transmission is put into gear.
BRAKES
They work perfectly and just like they did the day it rolled off the assembly line. The car does not pull hard to either side when braking with no hands on the steering wheel . They do not make any noise when stopping and the brake pedal does not bleed down at a stop and they do not need to be pumped . The amount of lining left is unknown.
FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING
There is no play in the steering wheel and the tie rod ends and ball joints and control arm bushings are all within spec and not excessively loose or worn out. It does not squeak or make any klunking noises when hitting bumps.
OVERALL DRIVING PERFORMANCE
It drives very well and as it should for a well taken care of 50 year old car, but keep in mind, these are not Ferraris so you really shouldn't plan on doing 90+ mph on the autobahn in a stock one.
INTERIOR
With the exception of the padded dash pad, the entire interior is in xlnt condition and nice enough for local shows. The headliner is flawless. The front seats were just recovered with Concours quality factory style seat covers from TMI instead of the cheap ones from Distinctive Industries and the foam was redone. The back seat is original and in mint condition. The carpet shows some very minor wear if you look closely but is still in xlnt conditon and not faded whatsoever. The door panels are original and look nearly new. The arm rests and bases are new.
BODY CONDITION
Every body panel is original with the factory date codes clearly legible. It has zero accidents and no rust holes or patches. It has never had more than a very small thumb size ding so there is virtually no bondo on it so it is laser straight and all the panels line up as good as they did when it rolled off the assembly line. The underside of the floors have never been spray canned or undercoated to hide any problems so you can easily see what condition they are in and they still even have the original factory paint on them underneath the dust.
PAINT
Good older daily driver grade condition with the exception of the roof where the clear coat is peeling in some areas . It had a vinyl roof and the previous owner had it removed and had the roof painted, but for some reason the clear did not adhere properly. I got a quote of $360.00 today to repaint the roof.
INSPECTION
I encourage people to come see and drive the car before bidding. I am available most any time and live near Lake Elsinore.
