Cleaning out a family members property, we have a 1978 Ford Mustang that has been sitting in a barn since 1988/89.
It seems to have everything with it, we have the keys but no title. I'll include pictures of everything, we are looking to sell the whole thing. Tires are flat, it hasn't moved in 35 years so who knows if the brakes are seized or what. VIN decoder says it is the V8 engine, but I can't get the hood open. Not very mechanically inclined, but thought someone here would want it since everything seems to be intact.

We are looking to get $700 for the whole thing, obviously you would need a trailer & winch to get it out.
Location is Lake George NY,

Yeah, musty as hell. At least the floor is concrete so it's not as bad as it could have been.....

That's a gem find! Gonna show that later to my uncle. We'll mount the headache rack and tonneau covers and finish the wiring of the trailer. I believe he got Mustang II back in the days and I'll see if he's interested.

They've not been on the site since the end of August - you may have better luck sending them a PM. Click their profile image, click "Direct Message" and inquire - good luck! I hope it works for you! It looks like it could be a good canvas!

I'll try that Thank You- There weren't too many of that exact model made so someone should save it. Also for as many Mustang II's and Pinto's they made they are getting hard to find. I see different models in good shape go for 5k and 15k which amazes me. You can buy 65 and 66 coupes in great shape for that kind of money. These are strange days we live in. Love or hate Trump he's going to punt EV's down the road by ten years or more. After that I really won't care.-DR
