There's a new pony in the stable bringing my current Mustang ownership to 3. (Not sure how long I'll have 3 so I'll have to enjoy it while I can :wink: )
Saturday, 1 day shy of my 2 year anniversary of CS ownership, I took delivery of my 2nd GT/CS. The car was delivered by FedEx/Passport. (great service and prices)
The car is Acapulco Blue with Black Interior, almost a twin of my current CS. The differences are this one has a 289 as opposed to the 302 in my original. This one also adds an automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes which my first did not have.
One thing that's funny is my 1st CS and this one both have the passenger side script mounted incorrectly. I can tell for sure the new rear quarter panel was replaced on this one. There is the indentation on the inside for the side marker so it's a 67 or early 68 panel.
We spent a good part of Saturday going over the car inside and out as well as underneath. The car is in great shape, the whole car was gone through and updated by the 3rd owner. I purchased it from the 4th owner who only drove it about 200-300 miles. All of the brakes, suspension, etc was replaced. It went through a pretty thorough restore from what we can tell.
There area a few minor things I want to change/update but nothing major. I'm very happy with this purchase. My 1st car purchase on eBay.
As you may have read in another thread, my car was on the trailer with calspecialchic's black CS. How wild is that. There are pictures of both cars on the trailer.
One thing with this car is I don't need to buy new diecasts, T-shirts or mugs since the colors are the same as my other one so I save some money. (Sorry Tim - I'm sure I'll find a need for more though :grin: )
As with my 1st CS purchase I can't thank everyone on this site enough for their help. From the many PMs, emails, etc, their help on transport company recommendations, how to handle a long distance sale was invaluable. I even was put in touch with the 2nd owner - he's going to see if he has pictures of the car when he owned it prior to it's restoration.
Attached are a few pictures and here is a link to the rest of the them and the full size versions.
