Please read all information as I want the buyer to understand what a cool car they are getting. I am not a car dealer and not out to trick anyone. I will try to list everything I can think of. I would prefer that you make arrangments to inspect and drive the car prior to bidding. Its located in Chickasha Oklahoma I will require a $500.00 deposit with in 2 days of the sale ending. Up for auction is a beautiful 1973 Mustang convertible with just 52,000 miles on it. This car originally an export DSO B1 which was legally imported to the country about 3 years ago. It has ivy glow metallic extererior with a deluxe avocado interior. It has some nice options including power top with glass window power disc brakes, power steering, deluxe interior, full lenght console, sport mirrors, chin spoiler, Naca "NASA" hood, dual exhaust, automactic transmission and new magnum 500 wheels with P245/60R15 BF Goodrich tires with less than 1500 miles on them. The car over all is in great condition and runs and drives nicely with no mechanical issues. It looks like a low milage well mantained car but has had restoration work. I was told by the previous owner he belived the mileage to be correct because he knew of several owners going back years and they also said it was original miles. Although it is in great condition it is not new and is 38 years old so it does have some flaws. There are no rust issues and for all intent and purpose is rust free. The paint is smooth and glassy. The top shows some minor wear but will not need to be serviced for many years. The engine is a replacement but is the same date and type that could have been available. The previous owner did not know why the engine had been swapped, purhaps the original 302 wasnt enough. The engine has been recently tuned and everything had been serviced or checked and is ready for thousands of miles of trouble free driving. ( I drove it from Detroit MI last year) The only thing that is missing from the engine is the air intake tube and heat riser. The battery is a heavy duty optima yellow top. The interior is really nice also and is a mix of original and reproduction parts. The console plate has been retouched and is presentable but is not perfect, The door panels are repaired originals that have been dyed but are in pretty good looking. They have the speaker grills in them but currently are not equipped with speakers. The steering wheel has some cracks but are not very noticable. The clock will not stay running and it starts to do funny things so I just unhooked it for now. It has new gaskets weatherstripping and seals all around but still has a couple of slight wind noises at speed .The shifter is firm and the shift interlock mechanism works perfectly. All of the electrical works perfectly with the exception of the clock and the seat belt buzzor. The wires were all cut by the previous owner and I didnt feel like it was important enough to hook back up. The trunk is solid and has the original apperance but does not have a spare or jack at this time. I truely have tried to list everything to the best of my ability and I hope I didnt forget anything. Please call me with any questions that you might have. Good luck on this fine car John 405-222-8474On May-02-11 at 07:35:22 PDT, seller added the following information: Hello Thanks for all of the response to this incredible car!!
