I am being transferred out of state and have three other Mustangs to deal with, so this one goes.   This is being offered as a great parts source car (a donor for your project) or if so, make yours the donor and build on top of this one.  Since I was raised to be honest,  it must be stated upfront that this car has many, many new parts,  there are a couple of areas that need disclosing:

1.  The front end steering/suspension probably needs lower control arms, ball joints replaced.  (The front end tie rods are new). 

2.  The engine is a 1979 351W with the electronic ignition components in use (computer module is new). However,  this engine has started to display serious sounds that may even be failing main bearings on the crank shaft, along with some smoke now. This is the engine that came with the car so its history is unknown but I do feel it is on the way to necessary rebuild.

3.  Windshild wipers don't work -- as switch needs replacing.

So,  I make no warranties and am offering the car as a parts car.  Please do not ask me to part single parts. I will only ignore such requests.  This car is offered as a whole.

This car stated life in the New York area as a base Copper/Gold Grande with a 302 automatic.

 

Body condition:  Good.

Details:  Hood has one ding in it,  the front quarters are from other cars.  Underside is solid with usual surface rust but no holes or rot.  Rear truck lid has a ding in one corner.

The following are the many new parts:

Most of the interior is new (repro in most cases).  The back seat upholstry has a blemish on the lower seat. 

Includes Kenwood KDC-HD450U radio inside glove box.

New front tie rods.

New tires less than 200 miles use) and  new vintage wheels

New tail lights lens,  and new lens for all parking lights

The entire rear end (8 inch) was swapped with a indentical better condition rear end from another 71 Mustang

New shocks all around,  new rear leaf springs, new mufflers.

Front wheels have new disk brake rotors and wheel bearings.

Door handles, locks are new.

The original Ford AM/FM radio works.

New TCI C4  transmission with less than 100 miles on it.  The drive shaft is new.

Tac and instrutment cluster added by previous owner.

On the engine:  Recent battery,  new altenator, power steering pump, belts, water pump, engine mounts, and harmonic balancer.  New rebuilt autolite 2 Barrel carb., spark wires.

Again, this is being offered as a PARTS Car. The tires and wheels alone are worth the starting price.

Please do not ask me to part single parts. I will ignore all such requests.
