I talked him out of it guys. Man, the back end of that thing was mangled. and it had some serious thick bondo work in spots. plus an engine that looked tired, was missing power steering setup, just a BIG project.

then went to a car lot across the street, they have a 1965, pony package with 289 4 barrel (I used the online mustang decoder to find it all out) that is in good shape. need interior replaced and new paint, but that isn't a big deal, body was solid and appeared very good, engine was clean and dry and it ran well. They're only ASKING 8K. you know on a car lot, especially one that doesn't specialize in old stuff, you can get them down. and he said it's been there for months now. I recommended he try to get that one for say 6, put another 2k in paint and interior.

oh, and on that one, couldn't see any rust, and the trunk looked brand frickin' new. probably original interior and maybe just an older repaint, as the paint is cracked and chipped in a few places.

makes me miss my mustang.
