What are they askin ?? I have a friend that has a 72 Mach that has been sitting for awhile now .. parts are a little hard to find, but not impossible ...

PLUS, we have a resident body shop guy (88GT) that knows where to find hard to find stuff ... Get w/him if you do get the car and need something ...

[grumpydad13]

asking 4k... Not sure if that is high cant really find any for sale to compare

thanks for the help

[88GT]

I used to have one too. My favorite body style. 4K in good to great shape is ok. I paid 700 for mine needing alot of work. Id love to have another. It was very reliable

[88GT]

thats a link to email the guy I guess

[88GT]

whats the major concern?

[Bulldog Stang]

link does not work ... links to an email address

[grumpydad13]

Links to craigslist dallas / ft worth..

No problems just kinda worried until I look at it...

[88GT]

take a look at it. be willing to pay what its worth to YOU. That model was never in that much demand. I dont know why. They are way better looking than the 60's stangs IMO.

[Bulldog Stang]

looks clean to me ... :mick:

[88GT]

where did you see it Brian????

[grumpydad13]

I am supposed to go look at it tomm and check it out on test drive and check to see what shape it is in...

Right there Darren

looks clean to me ... :mick:

Not to me. Its all one color. Not in good condition. Fair at best. look how the fender and hood are misaligned and the front valance is dammaged. I bet there is more dammage than the picks show. Look at that thing very close. Not just the outside. Pop the hood and crawl under it. Might be worth 1500-2000

I did not see the fender and hood mismatch until you pointed it out. And the valance looked weird earlier but I thought maybe i was reading to much into pics.. I will definetly look it over closely..

Thanks for the help:applause:

I tend to see stuff like. An apparent slight problem can mean a huge problem. Look for things under the hood that arent the same on both sides like buckles or bends. Especially right in front of the shock tower on the drivers side. Thats sort of like a crumple zone. People will try to screw you. I looked at a stang once and the guy told me the radiator support went all the way back to the shock (strut) tower and it just pop rivets on. LMAO I told him what I do for a living and left. Didnt even stay long enough to see the look on his face

thanks for the help... BUT I am still looking, there are not many cars for sale in the site

[88GT]

Thanks for all the help... BUT still looking

[88GT]

Id love to get another 72. hard to find tho. good luck

[Ponybabe]

I've got a 69 coupe for sale.....interested?

[Mach69]

In my opinion... anything after 70 and before 1980 = :puke: when it comes to the looks department.. but I can't turn away a fellow classis stanger! I'd say go for it and slap some performance mods in 'er!

[88GT]

Im kinda the opposite. I think the 64-68 looked too boxy. the 70 wasnt bad but the 71-73 look the best of any stang to this day. But no body asked me so :bolt:
LOL
Id look into Ponybabes 69 tho. she wont do ya wrong grumpy dad. :mick:

[Ponybabe]

Yeah, it's a good deal - car will come with almost everything (including motor/trans), just got new brake stuff and a new pedal assembly. I think all the glass is there too. It was sandblasted a few years ago, but has a little surface rust now from sitting. It's rolling right now, but I need to get $3K for her - firm. Body is straight, many, many parts included.... :-)

The only pic I have of it I think. It has too much stuff to list - we ordered an entire bolt set for the car - labeled too. It has everything but the seats - we were going to use newer stuff for that. All other chrome, interior, we will throw in a 302 and an AOD, brake system, pedal assembly, steering wheel, grill, lights....we have racks of stuff for it - it will have to be re-assembled almost completely. We were going to make it EFI and make it into a retro rod, but just don't have the time sadly.
