Cool car but a bit pricey, IMO. Restoring it is more expensive than Mustang.
The asking price should reflect this, as well as the current market.

Where have all the 4-speed cars gone?

I agree on the pricey for the condition. Probably just as well since its less than 150 miles from me, and I don't have the time or space to work on it. :roll: :lol:

My oldest son only lives about 80 miles from it.
If he wasn't busy getting his Bronco ready for sale, I'd ask him to go check it out & report back.

Geez the comments are brutal. Buncha internet “restorers” afraid of a little dust.

Cool car though!

Big guns with no ammo :lol:

I wouldn't mind fixing this car up for my wife but the old Merc-O-Matic, esp. behind the 260? Eh.......
Finding a green-dot for the 5-bolt sounds a bit challenging.

I got out of Mustang business for myself in late '80s after I bought my Cyclone.
Helped my son build a couple a few years later before he headed off to college. He quit Mustang business after selling his Shelby a few years ago.
