It's all good. We pumped out the fuel tank, and gave it a fresh shot of gas. Inspected and replace the vacuum lines, topped off the radiator, and gave the engine a good cleaning. We replaced the + battery cable, charged up a battery and dropped it in. With two good shots of Carb Cleaner, the motor cranked over and it fired right up. We run the engine for about 15 minutes. It idled great, and responded quick and felt good when given the throttle. ABOUT THE RUST. We listed the car here on eBay the following day after picking it up. Since we live in Michigan, we guessed there would be rust somewhere on the car, it's usually a given. But today we did do a crawl around the underside, and it appears that everything is looking good. Actually, we got two the "thumbs up" from our lot worker who checked it out. He said the rust is very minimal, and it has a solid frame and chassis. He said the floors looked good also, but we are not getting into ripping up the carpeting, so we'll have to go on his view from the ground. Overall he seemed very impressed with what he could see from the bottom side. We had put up a "BUY IT NOW" option yesterday, but apparently when the bid clears the reserve price, it also removes the BIN option....so this auction continues til completed. We have recieved several generous offers for this car in just the short time we've had it, both through our ebay listing and people coming in off the street. Please understand we are refusing all and any offers, and this car will go to the highest bidder, at the completion of this auction. THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST & GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!! On May-25-10 at 23:36:10 PDT, seller added the following information: NEW PHOTOS ADDED ON 5/19On May-26-10 at 16:24:12 PDT, seller added the following information: We drove the car about 5 miles today to feel the shifting on the transmission, and not exceeding 35mph for obvious reasons. With the exception of the shifter knob missing, the car seemed to shift fine, reverse, neutral, forward. We suggest before the car is driven any distances, that it receive a thorough tune-up including new plugs, wires, oil/fuel filter, timing, ect. ALSO BRAKES- even though the brakes did seem to stop the car, the dash brake light is on. The brakes should be professionally inspected. EXHAUST- sound like an exhaust leak, a quick guess maybe a collector or header gasket. ENGINE- the engine size looks to be the smaller V8, maybe the 289, not sure much about them. PLEASE REMEMBER: any comments or opinions given here or above, pertaining to the condition of this mustang are only opinions, and they should in NO WAY be considered as a inspection or professional recommendation.
