ATTENTION BIDDERS: IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACK ENTRIES YOU MUST E:MAIL ME PRIOR TO BID OR I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID AND BLOCK YOU. I'VE HAD A RUN OF NON PAYING BIDDERS, WHICH IS GETTING IRRITATING. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL BIDS OF ANYONE I DEEM TO HAVE POOR OR DECEPTIVE FEEDBACK HISTORY. I HAVE A CLEAR ARKANSAS TITLE FOR THIS CAR IN MY NAME. THE FACTORY DOOR TAG WITH VIN NUMBER AND OPTIONS IS PRESENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE VIN CODE MATCHES THE TITLE AND VIN NUMBERS ON THE APRONS. THERE IS NO DASH VIN TAG. I REMOVED THE LOWER DASH INNER TRIM PIECES AND SEE NO EVIDENCE WHERE ONE WAS EVER ATTACHED. I'VE HAD 67'S AND 68'S THAT HAD THE VIN ON THE DRIVER SIDE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL, LIKE THIS ONE. I'LL POST THE DECODE DOOR TAG RESULTS ON THE AUCTION TOMM. 1968 MUSTANG FASTBACK, SOME RUST ISSUES, ORIGINAL V-8, 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANS CAR, NOW WITH AUTOMATIC. CAR RUNS BUT NEEDS COMPLETE GOING THROUGH. GOT HOME TOO LATE FOR EFFECTIVE PHOTOS IN FADING LIGHT, WILL POST FULL SET OF PICS AND COMPLETE DESCRIPTION TOMMORROW. On Sep-30-11 at 16:10:12 PDT, seller added the following information: THIS VEHICLE WILL REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT RUST REPAIR, DON'T LET THE PICS FOOL YOU INTO THINKING IT'S BETTER THAN IT IS. I WOULD SAY IT'S A CAR IN FAIR CONDITION. NOTICE THE PICS I'VE LOADED, I WILL DESCRIBE THE RUST. BOTH TORQUE BOXES AND FRONT SUBFRAMES WILL NEED REPLACEMENT. BOTH FRAME RAILS HAVE SOME RUST THROUGH, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN BE PATCHED. REAR FRAME RAILS HAVE SOME RUST THROUGH IN MIDDLE CHANNEL, BOTH SIDES, THEY APPEAR SOLID AS THEY PROCEED INBORAD. I BELIEVE THE REAR FRAME RAILS COULD BE PATCHED WITHOUT THE ENTIRE REPLACEMENT, BUT THAT'S JUST MY OPINION, I'M NOT A BODYMAN. REAR TORQUE BOXES ARE SOLID, AND EVEN THE FLOOR PANS SEEM SOLID WITHOUT SWISS CHEESE EFFECT, AT LEAST I COULDN'T PUT MY FINGERS THROUGH WITH PRESSURE. I SUSPECT THE CAR MAY HAVE SAT OUTSIDE POITED DOWNHILL NOSE FIRST. ANY WATER WOULD HAVE RUN DOWN AND ACCUMULATED ON THE EDGES OVER THE YEARS. RIGHT FRONT FENDER HAS A SPLIT RIGHT AT THE SEAM, HOOD SHOWS BONDO WORK IN FRONT, AS DOES THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER WHICH WILL NEED A PATCH AT BEST, MAYBE A WHOLE QUARTER, SIGNIFICANT RUST THROUGH/BONDO DOWN LOW. ROOF SHOWS SOME AREAS OF MINOR DENTS/BONDO. IN OTHER WORDS, THIS VEHICLE WILL NEED A COMPLETE, AND EXPENSIVE, RESTORATION BEFORE BEING ROAD WORTHY. THE BRAKES ARE NON EXISTANT, PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. THE ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS SATISFACTORILY, I HAVE ONLY HAD IT RUNNING A COUPLE MINUTES AT A TIME, FROM THE SMEEL OF STALE GAS, IT IS OBVIOUS THE TANK WILL HAVE TO BE DRAINED OR RUN THROUGH. THE 2 BARREL CARB HAS A 'REMANUFACTURED' STICKER, AS DOES THE ALTERNATOR, DON'T KNOW HOW RECENT THEY WERE PURCHASED. ALSO HAVE A COMPLETE SET OF FRONT NEW REPRO FRONT WINDSHIELD MOLDING THAT GOES WITH CAR, NO REAR PIECES, INTERIOR PRETTY PRESENTABLE, NO RIPS TEARS INUPHOLSTERY, DRIVER SIDE FOLDDOWN MOUNT BRACKET IS BROKEN OFF FROM WELD/MISSING. WHICH IS WHY SEAT LOOKS UNEVEN IN FOLD DOWN POSITION, THAT WILL HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED. On Sep-30-11 at 16:46:59 PDT, seller added the following information: TIRES ARE DRY ROTTED AND WILL NEED REPLACING, I JACKED UP THE 8 INCH REAR, AND THE TRANSMISSION DID GO INTO FORWARD AND REVERSE GEARS. OBVIOUSLY, SINCE IT'S NOT ROAD WORTHY, I CANNOT CONFIRM WHAT OVERALL CONDITION THE TRANS IS IN, OR IF IT GOES THROUGH ALL GEARS. THE INTERIOR OPERA LIGHTS WORK, DASH LIGHTS COME ON, MOST OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND BRAKE/RUNNING LIGHTS COME ON, SOMETIME PARK LIGHTS COME ON. SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. THIS IS A DRUM BRAKE NON POWER STEERING CAR. THE ENGINE MAY BE A 302, OR THE ORIGINAL C CODE 289, BUT I HAVE NOT RUN ANY MANIFOLD NUMBERS. JUST REALIZE IT'S A FACTORY SMALL BLOCK. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE TRANS IS A C-4 OR JUST WHAT. HORN DOES NOT WORK, NOR DOES RADIO, WIRES JUST HANGING LOOSE. THE STORY ON THIS CAR, AND WHY SOME THING (LIKE INTERIOR) LOOK PRETTY GOOD AND SOME SO SO, IS AS FOLLOWS. VIETNAM ERA DAD BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM SON, WHO LOST INTEREST. DAD STARTED GOING THROUGH IT, BUYING SOME PARTS ETC., THEN GAVE UP AND IT JUST SAT, SO HE DECIDED TO SELL, WHICH IS HOW I GOT IT. FRONT WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED, SOCKET STUCK ON ONE OF THE REAR LUGS. TRUNK FLOOR LOOKS PASSABEL, DROPOFFS WILL PROBABLY NEED REPLACED WITH PATCHES AT A MINIMUM. THIS WAS AN ORIGINAL 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANS CAR, PEDALS STILL INTACT. VEHICLE DECODES AS FOLLOWS FROM DOOR TAG: 63A - 2 DOOR FASTBACK I - LIME GOLD METALLIC EXTERIOR COLOR 2A - BLACK INTERIOR 103 - DATE CODE 53 - DSO KANSAS CITY 2 - REAR AXLE 2.79.1 1 - 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANS C (VIN #) - 289 2V ENGINE THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, NO WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. NON REFUNDABLE 200.00 DEPOSIT DUE WITHIN 72 HOURS AUCTION END. BUYER ARRANGES FOR AND PAYS FOR ALL SHIPPING. I WILL NOT ASSIST A COMMERCIAL SHIPPER IN ANY WAY, TOO MANY BAD EXPERIENCES WITH UNSCRUPULOUS FLY BY NIGHT INDIVIDUALS WHO TOOK ADVANTAGE OF BUYERS AND MYSELF. IF YOU HAV E A COMMERCIAL SHIPPER PICKING UP, I'LL POINT IT OUT AND SAY 'THERE IT IS'. I WILL BE HAPPY TO ASSIST ANY PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS TO LOAD IT. I'M SURE I'VE MISSED MANY FLAWS OF THEI VEHICLE. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS IS A 40 + YEAR OLD CAR, WITH ALL THAT ENTAILS, PASS THE AUCTION BY.On Oct-07-11 at 17:52:53 PDT, seller added the following information: ATTENTION BIDDERS, I HAVE POSTED 21 ADDITIONAL PICS OF THE VEHICLE ON TWO SEPERATE AUCTIONS JUST LISTED AS '1968 MUSTANG PARTS'.
