Midnight Special
Well-known member
...was added to the collection today, tho not a GT/CS.
We picked up this very clean coupe from its original owner (who bought it off the showroom in LA in 68) at a remarkable price!
My son TJ was parusing the local ads as he always does & asked if we could "just go look dad"...
What we found was this very well maintained, complete and never wrecked - no rust car w/ working factory air, PS, and great stereo which we filled w/ gas and spent about 2 hours putting it thru its paces. At 183,000+ original miles; the 289 2v is indeed tired, but no immediate sign of oil burning and the C4 worked perfectly. Only a small tear in the headliner and driver's seat; other'n that - interior is immaculate w/ all gauges, glass, lights and their function, perfect!
We'll use it as an "advanced trainer for future Mustang pilots" for awhile, then rebuild the the long block, detail it "original" & re-sell it (or trade up) down the road
