Answers:    The price is right but are you sure this is the Mustang for you? Of all the classic Mustangs ('64 - '73) this one model is the strangest. It has sort of reverse curve quarter panel and a vinyl top. They all be overweight, ill handling and brakes be junk. The with the sole purpose real appeal would be the reality that you would have a sports car that looked like no other. 20K invested, eh? My a** hurts ... everybody say that crap about any motor that they have attempted to 'restore' or modify. Be severely wary of a short time ago HOW modified the car is beforehand you plunk down your hard earn cash. An inventive, or at least close to inspired Mustang is worth far, far more than one that has be customized. You could be buying something that you will NEVER be able to unload when the time comes.

I hold 2003 tdci gia 130 ps...


I own an aquitance who does restore cars and I track restored car sale online every now and next as a hobby to see what shows up. What I have notice usually is that these sellers will vote 90% of the time that they have a constant ammount invested in the sports car and that they will sell for smaller number than that. What they will not tell you is that any A they inflate prices on the so called receipts that they hold or quote you labor that was put into the saloon that was in reality done by them. This way they can speak that in the saloon there be X hours put in at $65 an hour by some dealership when they put surrounded by those hours themselves and give you a 20-30-50% discount. Even at $30 an hour most backyard mechanics would appropriate the deal.
On 73 mustangs from what I know is you should definately look at the innovative manufacturing plates as some of these cars one built from parts should still have at tiniest the plate numbers(vin..etc) intact. If they do not this was any a complete redone of the car(unlikely at $5500) or they merely didnt care going on for putting new ones contained by. This would show a statement of how "attentive to detail" the restorer actually be.
