Vehicle Detail

Good solid body in red. Paint is ok, a bit heavy but looks good. The flowers are vinyl decals so if you don't like them you can pull them off. Some obvious signs of prior rust repair. Rear floor pan repaired in flat metal. The work is all solid but could be done better if you are looking for a perfect car. The flaky bits under the car in the photos is undercoating which is peeling off.Have the frame for the soft top but will need new covering, we never used the top so we never dealt with it.Dual single barrel carbs on 1600 DP motor. Runs good. New starter last year. New brakes all around including all hardware, soft lines, master and wheel cylinders last year as well. All fuel soft lines replaced and turn signal switch in column was replaced with new as well.Riding on 17" mustang wheels, former owner's doing, may not be everyone's cup of tea.Nice driver quality car that needs someone to drive it and care for it. $8500 or reasonable offer. This is not a show car or 100% perfect if it was the price would be doubled. Please set your expectations accordingly.
