I AM SELLING MY GRANDMOTHER'S BELOVED 1965 FORD MUSTANG 6 HT. MY GRANDMOTHER, LOUISE BARLOW GIBSON PASSED AWAY WHEN SHE WAS 96 YEARS OLD IN 2004. SHE LEFT THIS CAR TO HER ONLY SON, THOMAS AND HE HAD A MASSIVE STROKE IN 2006, IT HAS SINCE PASSED TO ME HER ONLY GRANDSON,SCOTT. THE ORIGINAL TITLE WAS LOST AND IT TOOK ME AWHILE TO OBTAIN A NEW ONE. SHE WAS THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE-TO CHURCH AND THE HAIR SALON-LIKE EVERY GOOD SOUTHERN WOMAN! THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM YOUNG MOTOR CO. IN CHARLOTTE, NC ON APRIL 8,1965 FOR $1965.00 W/ A TRADE-IN OF A 1960 FORD GALAXY. THE ORIGINAL LIST PRICE WAS $2,744.65. THE CAR SPENT MOST OF ITS LIFE IN COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, WHERE SHE SPENT THE LAST 35 YEARS OF HER LIFE. I BELIEVE THE LAST TIME SHE DROVE IT SHE WAS 87 IN 1995, AS I HAVE A TUNE-UP BILL FROM THAT YEAR. IT WAS PLACED IN A STORAGE FACILITY IN HUDSON, OHIO, THE HOMETOWN OF HER ONLY SON, THOMAS AND HAS BEEN THERE EVER SINCE. OBVIOUSLY, THE CAR DOESN'T RUN. I HAVE HAD 2 COLLECTORS LOOK IT AND THEY SAY IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE. SHE DID HAVE IT PAINTED GOLD OVER THE ORIGINAL HONEY GOLD FACTORY PAINT. THEY FOUND A SMALL RUST SPOT BEHIND THE REAR BUMPER. THE PAINT IS IN GREAT CONDITION, OTHERWISE. THERE IS A TEAR IN THE DRIVERS SEAT (SEEN IN PIX) WHICH IS FIXABLE. THE BILL OF SALE SAYS IT HAS CRUISE O MATIC,BACKUP LIGHTS,RADIO AM, DELUXE SEAT BELTS,WH COVERS KNOCK OFF HUBS, 650 X 13 WSW TIRES. IT WOULD BE A GREAT PROJECT TO WORK ON TO RESTORE TO ORIGINAL CONDITION. I HAVE 3 SONS BUT NEED THE MONEY TO CARE FOR MY FATHER WHO IS PARALYZED AND BEDRIDDEN DUE TO HIS STROKE (TOO MUCH FAST FOOD). ALSO, THE STORAGE IN OHIO IS $158.00 A MONTH AND I LIVE IN NEW YORK. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BILL OF SALE, 2 CAR KEYS, THE OWNERS MANUAL AND A DUPLICATE TITLE FROM THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA MY GRANDMOTHER TOOK EXCELLENT CARE OF THIS CAR WHILE SHE WAS ALIVE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT GO TO A GOOD HOME. I AM PLACING A SMALL RESERVE ON IT JUST B/C A DEALER IN CT. HAS OFFERED TO BUY IT FOR PARTS IF NEED BE. IF YOU ARE IN OHIO AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT, I CAN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE STORAGE MANAGER-PLEASE VERY SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. I DON'T WANT TO WASTE HER TIME. IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! On Dec-10-10 at 10:53:16 PST, seller added the following information:I was just told by the storage person that the drivers side floorboard does have rust damage and that there are some holes in the floorboard that you can see through-no bigger than a quarter. She is going to email me pictures that I will post.
