The body was completely redone in the restoration, The lines and panels all fit excellent. All the chrome on the outside of the car has been completely redone. The Mustang has original wire hubcaps from 1965 and 5 new tires with less than 1000 miles on them. The wheel wells are clean and rust free. The convertible top looks excellent. The interior was completely redone with new carpet, new seat coverings, new door panels, and Mustang floor mats. All instruments in the dash are fully functional. The previous owner added an aftermarket Mustang AM/FM cassette player with speakers in the kick panels. VEHICLE CONDITION Overall the paint looks great and shines beautifully. There are few very minor blems in the paint that are not noticeable unless you know where to look for them. The body and frame are solid. There is no bondo on the body. . The passenger side floor pan was replaced. All body work was completed professionally. The interior is excellent and very clean, the vinyl seats are extremely comfortable and both the front and back seats are in excellent shape. The top is in good condition with no rips or tears.. The top does needs a little push at first when lowering the top but once it is partially down, goes smoothly. No problem putting the top up electrically. The zipper tab on the rear vinyl window is broken but has not been a problem as I never unzip the window. The original trunk lining is still in the trunk along with the convertible top boot, spare tire that matches the four on the car.

The upper corner on the driver side is missing the tab that you pull to open or close the zipper. You can operate the zipper by using a pair of pliers but I don't do it because I just don't want to open the back window. When we want more air, we put the top down. This top was on the car when I got it so I don't know the age of it. 2. In my description above I mentioned that you have to give the top a boost when putting the top down. Well, It is working fine now. There must have been some air in the line after the new lift cylinder was installed and it worked itself out. Please disregard above where it said you had to help the top to put it down. 3. I have done my very best to describe the car and its condition as accurately as I can, however, since this is a 47 year old vehicle, I have to say it is being sold as is. On Jul-30-12 at 05:36:34 PDT, seller added the following information: A bidder asked if I know of any other issues with the car; The only thing I know of is once sometimes there is a slight chatter in the clutch when starting out in first gear. This hasn't been a problem for me but I want to be up front with everyone
