CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER | |
---|---|
I bought it mostly completely restored from a gent . in Ohio.He owns a shop and he had a customer that bought the car brand new in 1969, the first owner drove the car and drag raced it on the weekends for a number of years.One weekend he blew the motor (he thought he did anyway) so the owner parked it for approx. 40 years in his barn. by the way the car is originally sold to dealer in Texas and car bought in California. (see Marti report)40 years later he decided to completely rebuild/restore the car to original spec's (I have a couple hundred pictures to show the process)(by the way at this point the car only had approx. 23+-k miles originally)Unfortunately at about 70/80% of completion the first owner past away.The shop that was rebuilding it offered the grieving family the car, but nobody wanted it, or could not afford to pay for the restoration, so the court allowed the shop owner to keep the car for the amount owed to him. at that point I believe it was approx. $70K. So the shop owner decided to finish the project to sell. and court demanded he put it into his own name, which he did.A year later the shop owner completed the car and put it up for sale, I bought it from him and now it’s back in California.I’ve owned it now for approx. 3-4 years. I perfected the car a little more fixing some mechanical bugs it had. But the only reason I want to sell its is because I’m a gear head, I want and like to take apart and do things my way on my cars. but unfortunately this car is completely original and if I modify it, it will loose it’s value. I’m looking for another mustang (I grew up in high school driving mustangs, so I love them tremendously) that I can play with, mechanically, I like big horsepower, superchargers, turbo’s etc.I can’t do this with this car, it will ruin this beautiful car, & it’ll loose its value and originality. The car DOES have numbers matching EVERYTHING, By the way, when the shop owner took the engine apart he found out that the motor was never blown. It was a rocker arm that broke (see pictures and notice how clean the valve springs were) and engine was only running on 7 cylinders. could have beed a quick fix, but original owner did never check.Car comes with a Marty report verifying everything on vehicle. |
