**DEPOSIT PENDING**

Price Listed In USD

How often do you see an all original metal and original paint survivor Mustang without any rust present? This is not a showcar, it has dents, scratches, paint shows signs of wear and its got a whole lot of character. It was treated with oil over its lifespan, reason why it was saved from the cancer (rust) very common to these Mustangs. The undercarriage is also all original paint with body overspray and in a perfect condition.

It's got its original Matching Numbers engine, VIN stamp present on the top of the deck, and date correct. The original automatic transmission is long gone after a passenger carrying a loaded 357 Magnum accidently shot through the tunnel. Bullet hole still there for reference with pictures for proof.

This car originally came San Bernandino, California, where it was sold new to the first short term owner (2 years). Second owner was from Ontario, California, USA where the car has passed most of its life. The original owner past away 20 years ago and the car was given in heritage to his nephew witch was located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was stored for all this time in a collection and sold 8 years ago to his friend. We bought it 5 years ago, took the engine and transmission out for a complete inspection and reseal. We took the engine bay to bare metal since there was missing paint / surface rust and repainted it. All the bushings, ball joints, bearings and shocks were replaced. The car was realigned and new BF Goodrich Radial T/As were installed recently. 

Some options are not original to the car, but all are date correct, see detailed description for more information. This Mustang has just a little over 75 000 original miles on the odometer.
