1973 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE FAIRLY COMPLETE PROJECT CLEAN TITLE IN MY NAME Offered for sale is one 73 Mustang convertible as a fairly complete project car. Over 10 years ago it ran when parked, but will not do so now. Although some pictures do not show a passenger door, there is one, as shown in section below. The paperwork should not be a problem since the title is in my name - not somebody else's - and clean (not a junk title or title with a lien). As you can see, this is a 73 Mustang convertible which has been sitting for some time. INTERIOR The interior of the car is quite worn. Note from this picture that the car is a manual transmission type and apparently has front disc brakes. Close up of the brake and clutch pedals Mileage on the speedometer. Have no idea if it is correct. I have never tampered with it. Another view of interior Interior from passenger side. Here is a picture of the back RH interior area - also showing the condition of the lower door jam area. Picture of the LH door jam area Close up of RH front door jam area Close up of LH front door jam area Close up of back seat area Better view of the back portion of the interior of the car. Although the carpet is still there, I would assume that the floor pans and related areas will need replacement. TRUNK & REAR TAIL AREA As you can see, the rear decklid is quite rusted and will need replacement. Convertible top was apparently white. Chrome pinch mouldings look to be in good shape, as do convertible bows. Rear LH quarter area close up. Looks to have some rust on the lower portion of the quarter in front of the wheel well. At my age I can not get under the car, so unable to provide any pictures of the underside. You should assume at least the normal rust and problem areas. Although this car has been in Oklahoma since at least the mid 80's, I do not know any of its previous history. Rear RH quarter area close up. Obviously has some damage. You can also see that the trunk lid is bent, causing the gap in fit. FRONT END CLOSE UP As it has been many years since this car has moved, I can not get the hood open to show the engine compartment. The engine is a 6 cylinder and probably useless. Close up of hood, showing some issues. UNDERSIDES As I noted, due to age and lack of tools, I was unable to get any good views of the undersides of the car so it is best to assume at least the normal problems, if not more. Here are 3 pictures I tried with a camera which may help some. PASSENGER DOOR INCLUDED Although not shown in all pictures, this car does come with a passenger door, as shown here. Close up of the outside side of the door Close up of the back side of the passenger door, showing the lower portions, which look to be quite rust free. Note that the door does not have any glass or regulators. Another close up, showing area which commonly rusts out DOOR TRIM TAG Here is a close up of the driver's door trim tag As far as I can tell, it decodes as this 3F03L164702 The L indicates a 6 cylinder 76D Convertible with standard interior and bucket seats 3B Light blue exterior color CA Black interior trim 1 3 speed manual transmission DSO Charlotte plant code MOSTLY COMPLETE PROJECT This car has been in Oklahoma since at least the mid 80's. The car ran when parked, but that was too many years ago, so it will need a lot of work. The engine is a 6 cyl and should be considered useless as it will probably not start. The wheels are probably froze from the brake shoes so it will probably need to be winched onto a trailer. But the car has a clean Oklahoma vehicle title (not some salvage title) which is in my name so you should have a very easy time in bringing this car into your name. As the car has been sitting for quite a while, it will probably have to be winched up onto a trailer. Often times brake drums freeze onto the brake hubs, making it such that the wheels will not roll. Please plan accordingly when considering what is necessary for loading. The loose parts and other items and vehicles shown in various pictures are not included. BEING SOLD ‘AS IS’ Sold ‘AS IS’ with no warranty, either expressed, written, or implied. Some pictures may show other cars and various loose parts in and outside of the car which do not belong to this car. Neither the parts or the adjacent vehicles or buildings are included as a part of this auction. Wheels/tires may be different from those pictured unless noted otherwise. Any wheels/tires on the car are so old and rotten as to be totally useless for loading/unloading and tires will slide off rims if not already off rims. DEPOSIT Payment is to be within 48 hours of close of auction, and is to be made as explained in the Terms of Sale below. This deposit is non refundable. BALANCE The balance due is required within 7 days of auction close as explained in the Terms of Sale. PICKUP TO BE IN OKLAHOMA Please note that the item is located in Oklahoma and that pickup will be there. Pickup can not be made prior to receipt of full payment. Any pick up date will have to be MUTUALLY agreed upon. Pick up is to be no later than 21 days after close of auction unless mutually agreed upon to be otherwise. TITLE/LOADING ISSUES Upon completion of the transaction, as noted in the Terms of Sale, you will be given the Oklahoma title which is in my name and is free and clear and is not some salvage title. I do not have a current year tag for the car, which if deemed necessary, is to be the responsibility of the Buyer. Car has no brakes, etc, and tires are probably off rims and will not hold air, so loading may be difficult. Please plan accordingly and provide the necessary means and manpower. If using a transport please advise them of the loading issues. The car is easily accessible for loading.
