Vehicle Detail

1966 Mustang Convertible VIN: 6T08T236041 Odometer: ~125k (can't be confirmed, sold mileage exempt) No warranties Local inspection/pickup prefered; buyer handles all shipping otherwise Re-listed due to a non-payer. Why are non-payers allowed to leave feedback on sellers? They didn't actually buy anything. Oh well, I will try Ebay one last time. Video of this car is on YouTube. Search for "PorkySwears" to find my account. If Ebay allows, here's the direct link: http://www.youtube.com/user/PorkySwears Call Brian at (256) 721-3667 or email me for answers to specific questions. This unrestored Mustang is a fun weekend driver and a good project car. I originally bought the car planning to create a V8 "restomod", but I don't have time. My rating system is based on a poor/fair/good/excellent scale. "Excellent" is a concours perfect show car while "Poor" is a rust bucket. This car falls squarely between "Fair" and "Good". The car was purchased in August 2006. I drove it home to Alabama from NY State without a glitch. Although the car is in fair/good condition overall, I wouldn't attempt such a long trip again. I currently drive the car on weekends around town and to local car shows. I've really enjoyed it. I was informed by the previous owner that the car was superficially restored in the mid 1980s. He said the floor pans were repaired at that time. My inspections indicate the floors were repaired although the quality can't be verified without a full teardown. The car was garage kept since that restoration. The only real trouble I've had with the car is with the 3spd manual transmission, which is sloppy, drips oil, and needs a complete rebuild. This is a pre-synchro model trans, so I planned a T5 swap. While making the video for this Ebay listing, I noticed the steel plate which should be bolted between the seat pans is missing. This plate was an after-thought reinforcement unique to early Mustang convertibles. There is one known electrical issue. Using the headlights causes the rear lights to shut off after a few minutes. The headlights continue to work. I never drive this car at night, so I've not bothered with a repair. No other electrical problems are known: blinkers, hazards, dash, etc work as expected. Other issues may exist. This vehicle is sold "as-is" with no warranties. Please inspect the car in person before bidding! Call or email me for answers to questions! Misc details... Sprint 200 6cyl is strong and runs well (not original motor) 3 spd manual needs rebuild, but drives and shifts adequately Body is straight with good gaps. Missing the steel reinforcement plate which was bolted to floorpans (see photos) Rare Emberglo Metallic paint code Paint is fair condition Chrome is good condition Tan interior is in good condition Tan top is in good condition Tan boot cover is in good condition Good drum brakes (original master cylinder, single-reservoir model) Small dent on front edge of driver door where a hinge spring popped loose and caught in the door. Several paint chips and scrapes (new paint needed) Original wiring Aftermarket Mustang AM/FM/Tape player does not work Weather striping needs replacement Sale includes these misc items: Shop manual Three OEM wheel spinners New glove box uninstalled Check/money order must clear my bank for 14 business days before pickup or shipping. Cash in person drives the car away that day.
