This early 1965 Mustang convertible has lead a fairly sheltered (not a cream puff, but not a clunker either) life having been off the road from 1974 till 1998. In 1998, the car was taken apart, and new quarter panels, door skins, fenders, floors and a black convertible top were installed. The car was painted at that time as well. The original engine was replaced with one out of a 1968 Mustang, and is still a 289 2V with the C4 automatic transmission, power top and original AM radio (NOS antenna kit comes with the car). Car has less than 70,000 original miles. Smokes a little on startup, think the carb needs to be rebuilt from sitting unused for the last three years, I would probably drain the old gas out of the system as well. Car needs some detail work on the interior (arm rests on doors, drivers seat cover, and misc nuts and bolts). Exterior wise, the paint is a 8.5 on a scale of 1-10, there are some nicks and scratches, and one small dent on the drivers side door where something fell against the car while it was in storage. Recently sold the storage property, so now it is sitting in my backyard, and must be sold soon. Let's face reality here, the car is certainly not a $20,000+ show car, but a nice $10,000 rust free, driver. Work on the detail parts when you feel like it. Get in, drop the top, and go cruising. After all, that is why this car was originally built. Asking price is $9,900 obo. I'm tough on my descriptions, don't like to pull punches, or try to hide things, would rather underestimate the cars condition, than over estimate it. Serious responses only please.

So, what are you guys buying for the missus, your better halves, your "Significant Others?" You know, the stuff that you have to expend to keep yourselves' butts in that Cobra seat! Jewelry? Nothing says "Please let me drive my Cobra some more" than gold and diamonds. Maybe a kitchen remodelling job? How about a new Lexus or BMW for the little lady? Or is she more keen on an H2? Maybe you've got her snookered, and she lets you drive your Cobra, just to keep you quiet, and to get you out of her hair for a few hours!
