    Vin # for Alabama gt/cs

    That is what I thought. Keep the original parts and if someone wants they can change it back. To me , a thing is useless if you can't use it. Not abuse but use for your own and others enjoyment.

    Vin # for Alabama gt/cs

    :undecided Somebody enlighten me? I undersatnd that a #s matching absolutely pristine, with low miles, car is going to command big bucks to the right people. But, how much do cosmetic changes, made in the true spirit of the Mustang, hurt the price? And I am only talking about bolt on,minor...

    :icon_ecst Thanks Rich ,but as luck would have it, it doesn't look like I am going to buy the car I originally talked about. Seems their is more than one in Alabama. So I now have a second choice and it is going to be the second. The guy on the first one was really hard to deal with and...

    Another Electrical Problem!!!!!!

    This may sound kind of naive but try moving the key after the car is started. Had a 60 caddy that did that to me in the middle of nowhere New Mexico more years ago than I want to remember. Had to put pressure against the key to get lights.

    Marti report in hand

    I guess since I'm the new guy on the block I should say at this point that all the colors they come in are the greatest. Yes it does have the wood grain under 10 years of dirt.He kept the exterior very nice but never did anything to the interior.

    I don't know if I am qualified to give advice yet, but after looking at every pic on the web I think a nice understated wheel really sets these cars off nicely.

    Marti report in hand

    Thanks for the replys. I don't see any major issues, it would probably raise the value of the car by 1000 dollars just by giving it a real live detailing session. It doesn't look like its been cleaned in 10 years. That Marti report was like a ray of sunshine. does anyone know where I cna find...

    Marti report in hand

    Did I make somebody mad? I don,t have pictures of the car yet but they are coming. Having never spent this much money for a toy before, I suppose I need some reassurance or my head examined or something. This post has been up here most of the day and I know some of you have looked at it. Tell me...

    Marti report in hand

    Ok,just got the Marti report, oh boy, I will try to attach it.This kind of blows away the " old man " who hasn't done anything to the car for 35 years story. If you look at the report it is the same car with some changes. There are no tinted windows or headrests. The radio has been changed to a...

    Vin # for Alabama gt/cs

    It's just strange. 38 years later and they were probably sold from the same dealer. The world truly does get smaller everyday. Hey, if you guys ever get tried of my questions just tell me to go home.... Mike you are the man, that answers about a dozen of my other questions. That ought to keep me...

    What was your first car?

    Mine was a 69 442 olds and man it ran like it was on fire, which is why, when it met its maker in the form of a big ol' boat of a lincoln, I was glad it was parked in front of the house and I was fast asleep.

    Vin # for Alabama gt/cs

    HCBob,your source must be correct because that is what the car has. I had a decoder like mustanglvr's so I wondered about the interior and the DSO. Phonenix would go along with the history I have so far. The cars first owner was from El paso. Would no lower console be correct for a 3 spd. , it...

    Thanks Rhonda. It looks like a done deal on my end. I guess I need to hunt down that piggybank it seems to have disappeared since I started talking about buying this car. Will post pics as soon as I get her home
