Looks nice - I'd want to put some things back correct for the car but at first glance looks decent. Many will like as-is with mods.
I have never liked (what I call) the Cougar/Torino looking wheels on our Mustangs.
Might be a Q code which ups the value in my book.

With my work schedule I think you are taking over the Finder Role.

Well there goes my surprise! I'd already made an appointment to go look at this car tomorrow. I too, noticed the air cleaner and am hoping it's a Q code, especially since it has the gauge package. I'll let you all know how it works out.

PS. Depending on condition/rust, I was thinking it was more in the $12K range. What do you guys think?

Looks like a pretty clean car in the pictures. That doesn't seem to be a bad price for a vert. Wonder if he has a Marti report, it'd be nice to see what options it came with. Let us know.

I actually like the wheels and WW tires, looks good with the white top.

You've got to beat him down for at least the cost of a new magnum wheel and tire package. That car is screaming for it.

Thanks bud! Tough shoes to fill! You are really good at it.
I would like to see this one go to a member on here who would appreciate what this car might be. RVTrash might be a good canidate.

Steve - good luck! I'd say if it is solid and a Q code the price is good as listed. $12k - even better. For me it would need the hood argent and side stripes removed along with installing the correct gas cap and correct wheels/caps (probably) = put back to orig. Let us know what you find out.

I passed on the car. I didn't even bother driving it. It's an H code car, originally yellow, that was hit hard in the front. The radiator support is mangled and straightened just enough to bolt stuff to it, and the left front inner fender was pulled back out, but still showed wrinkles. There is a chunk of bondo that fell out of the left quarter panel. The center gauge package is non functional and just for show. No wiring to it. The entire interior would best be described as "worn and dirty" but it is serviceable. The convertible top switch has been broke off and just a stub remains to operate the top, which is functional and new. The paint has chips where the original yellow shows through. I couldn't really see the bottom because the guy pulled the car out of the garage and parked it right over the hump at the end of his driveway, into the street. It drug going over, and he parked it right in the middle so there was little room to see the floors. What I could see looked solid, but covered in fairly new undercoating, so hard to tell about rust. At some point, I just stopped looking for issues. To me it was a $7K car, tops, and that was a long way from $13.5.

Steve - Thanks for posting! Sorry for the "goose chase"!!! I was hoping you would score big with a nice Q code convertible!
There are many great buys right now.
