nice car

[Michael-z]

I'm very sorry for not replying sooner about the car for sale - I wasn't getting any notice of the PMs that were waiting for me. Everyone who has PM'd me should have gotten a reply by now. Most everyone asked for more pictures which I can take this weekend and post.

I have had a few requests for what documents I have and I will post those now. Thanks.

I'm also very sorry about the confusion regarding the options the car has - when I bought it years ago I decoded the VIN but didn't pull out that old paperwork to reference here when posting.

The car is original paint and was never two tone.

It has these options:

Air Conditioner
Defroster, Rear Window
Glass, Tinted
Power Locks
Power Windows
Radio, Electronic AM/FM Stereo Search with Cassette Tape Player
T-Top Roof
Speed Control

I was able to take a lot more pictures today of the Mustang. You can view them through this link:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...0FCYlJqeFQ5QUU

Unfortunately, it was only 30 degrees today in Maryland so I was not able to wash and detail the car prior to taking the pictures so you will see some road dirt on the car, especially underneath.

I tried to take pictures that I would want to see if I was looking to purchase the car.

If anyone has any questions please let me know.

Thanks for all the interest in the car.

Boy, you guys can be really picky, (LOL)
I assume your talking about the Prestone flush kit, heater hose & clamps....but thats it.

HaHA! Hey man, ALL original is ALL original, lol. We don't play.

Gorgeous car! Money well spent for the new owner.

[Supersonic G.T.350]

Michael-z if I had the money to spend that car would be sold tonight.

Beautiful Car, GLWS

[bkoons85gt]

Very Nice! GLWS

Don't believe a better car for the $$ can be found...and with tasteful mods for drivers sake. That interior looks like it could be 20k miles or less...rear seats look like they've never been sat in. Rust free hatch, doors and under body. If I was in the market and room in the garage, I would jump at this to have a 4-eye for serious driving

[Michael-z]

Thank you everyone for all the positive comments - the car is still for sale.

[Mike T.]

Any chance you bought this car out of Cincinnati area..........know the prior owner history ??
Looks pretty much like mine that I sold to a guy about 15 years ago - he flew in from Baltimore and drove it home.

*** I just went and looked at the pics in the link - that for sure is my old car !!!
I noticed my writing on the underdrive pulley box - one of the few things I did to it.......still has same mud flaps also.
The car still looks incredible and you've taken really good care of it !!!
I always wondered what happened to that car - was one of my pretty much stock favorites.
The interior still looks as clean as when I had it - looks awesome !!
Super car - somebody is going to be happy...........I can vouch for when I had it and know some prior history.

[Michael-z]

Mike T.

Thanks for the message. As you have already figured out this is your old car - 15 years later.

I remember the day I came to your house to test drive it and you put towels on the seats before you would let me sit down. After I bought it I purchased seat covers so that the fabric wouldn't get any wear. I would say the interior is in the same shape as it was when I bought it from you.

The car has been garage kept the entire time I have had it.

Small world.

Thanks for your comments.

No problem.........I remember getting you to I-71 so you could start the trip back to Maryland.
Nice job keeping that car looking awesome like you did !!!
Timing is a little off or that one just might be heading back to my garage.

Good luck with the sale - somebody is going to get a super nice un-abused GT.
Mike

PS - I tried to reply to your PM but your inbox is full - hopefully with somebody that wants to buy it !!

Mike T - I deleted some PM's - my inbox has space again.

I remember being nervous driving the Mustang from Ohio to MD but not a hiccup back then and to this day it's never failed to start and has never left me anywhere. Very reliable car!

Thanks!
