Car for sale is my joy 1985 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible. This car is a running project car, and should not be considered a daily driver as it sits currently. The car has just under 47K miles, this is documented through the title, it did not flip and now show as 47K miles, it actually has 47k miles. The car is a mid-western Columbus Ohio car with NO RUST. The body is solid, as is the frame and the floors, The Strut Towers too are completely rust free. The car is fairly straight, needing only some body work, the rear bumper cover is knocked, and there are a few parking lot dings and dents. The previous owners from what i know were as follows.. The first owner owned the car until he died, the car was than given to his brother, who gave it to his daughter, who got a series of speeding tickets, before the car was taken away, the car was then put into a storage container on a farm in around 1993, and completely forgotten about until that owner passed away. The car was than given to a friend who was in his 70's and was driven a few times into the garage wall before that family sold the car. The car had some serious cracks on the front clip, which have all been straightened out. While i could have replaced the front clip, i tend to try to fix things if possible so that the car can retain as many original parts as possible. As a result the front clip has been primed, and has not been repainted yet. It might be done before the car sells, as i get a joy out of fixing it, otherwise it will come with the original CL color code paint to paint the front clip. The Interior of the car is nearly mint, The interior has 3 cracks, one in the dash, which should be an easy fix, and there are two seam splits in the drivers and passengers seat. I was quoted 100.00 to fix both from a local upholstery guy here in town. The top is 100% roached, and the car is garage kept, and has not been leaked into.. The top will need to be replaced before the car is driven daily, otherwise keep it how it is and enjoy it on the nice weather days. Mechanically the car is 99% complete. It needs the Oil Pan gasket replaced, otherwise it has a long list of brand new parts, and some just new.. (Difference between 0 miles and 25 miles on them.)
