Up for sale is my highly factory optioned 1971 Mustang Convertible. I bought this car 8 years ago on ebay having no idea how rare it was. I drove it from St. Louis to my home in Virginia and could not believe how well it handled. So I took a look at the suspension and ordered a Marti Report. It turns out that this car is optioned the same as a highly equipped Mach 1. This car is 1 of 414 built with the 351 4V motor and C-6 transmission. It is 1 of 1 with the paint/trim code. The car has the following options from the factory as per the Marti Report: * M Code 351 4V motor * 3.00 Traction-Lok Differential * C-6 Select Shift Cruise-O-Matic transmission * Competition Suspension ( Heavy duty sway bars, opposed mounted shocks) * Tachometer * Power Steering * Power Front Disc Brakes * Air Conditioner Selectaire There are many other factory options that you can see on the photo of the Marti Report. I decided to have the car completely restored by an outfit called Maryland Muscle car in Hagarstown MD. They did an awesome job and the car is gorgeous. I had them add a German canvas top with glass window, Mach 1 stripes and rear spoiler, and a new hood with Ram Air induction system. The car had some rust but not at all a horror story. The fenders are NOS Ford fenders and the doors were located in Arizona and rust free. The quarters were replaced with new American made. The motor and transmission were rebuilt and and the engine compartment and underside were nicely detailed. I have 2 radios for this car and have not had them installed. It starts, stops, shifts, steers, sounds and smells like it should. It passes the Va state safety inspection. The top travels up and town properly but at some point the switch should be replaced. The car is original with the factory options intact. This car has an outstanding flawless showcar paintjob and a beautiful black interior. It has not spent a night out side since the restoration was completed in 2008. I have not totalled up my restoration costs because I know that they are well over $50,000. Looking at them would be painful. I have really enjoyed this car but it is now time to get something a little newer that I can leave out of the garage from time to time. Let my loss be your gain. I am starting the price at a very reasonable level and have no reserve to make sure it sells. A personal or third party inspection is welcomed and you may call me to answer any questions that you may have. I will assist you in any way that I can to get this car delivered to you. I would like a $1000 PayPal deposit with 48hours of auction's end. Thanks for looking! John 703 623-9424 cell
