Well guys I had another co worker tell me that she won’t take my offer of 9k because she feels it is worth a minimum of 20k and won’t go lower even though both front rails and torque boxes fell off the car when I poked at them. She could have at least told me because I could have lost the deal on the 59.
$20k for a '69 Mustang that needs "frame" work to that extent? That's a "hard pass" for me.
But good luck to 'er!
And thanks for the follow-up.

There was a 69 Mustang sportsroof in town here for sale for at least a year. Car was pretty rough, not much of an interior, body was in primer, had a 302 automatic. Seller kept claiming it was some rare piece, and was asking stupid money for the thing. (Around $20k IIRC) I never contacted them about it but I did figure out where it was and took a drive by last fall. I didn't even slow down, what a p.o.s. it was/is, probably still sitting in the same spot.

I didn't get to the car show yesterday, too hot and I was just too tired. Worked on the Super Coupe Thunderbird Saturday for a few hours, just need the 2 gaskets to get it back up and running.
I stumbled across a white SC on either CL or Marketplace over the weekend and thought of you, Randy.
Hope you get this one up and running soon!

Gaskets should arrive today, so I just have to get my *** out to the garage and make it happen! Rainy day today so much cooler, might be a good night to get r dun!

It's toasty out there but determined to go to the show tonight.
Probably won't stay all night though but we'll see.
Got my second hearing aid back this afternoon and hearing much better.
Find a nice shady spot at the show and hope there is a breeze.
Have a good one and keep cool

Not going to come out perfect. But all the black will be gone and semi shiny. Then a little polishing and viola

Looks good and a bit rustic is perfect. Would make a nice shot glass.

Ok so it seems unanimous, everyone agrees that I needed to get on it.
After dinner I went out for about 2 hours, almost done, just have to refill the coolant and reconnect the intercooler charge pipes. Then hope it runs again!
So, how do I know that it's never been serviced or tuned up before? Original spark plugs and wires with 1989 date codes, plus the seal in the bottom left of the photo is the factory Teflon seal that was used on all of the intercooler pipes junctions. From what I have researched on this, those seals are no longer available from Ford, there was a guy who had reproduced them, but he no longer does, so the trick is now to use hi temp copper silicone, so I picked up a new tube.
I'll see how ambitious I feel after work tomorrow, got a busy day ahead.
Hard working on home stuff after working all day.

Morning guys.
Got to the show and sitting under a tree and there was a breeze so quite nice really.
Didn't take any pics as all the cars had been posted before.
Heading out soon, getting new brakes and oil change on the 300.
Used to do everything myself but now finding it too much especial when I re and re the wheels. They weigh 65lbs each.
Busted!!!!
Just think, some poor bastard has to crawl up beside these at night.

Wildfire smoke was really bad today, the worst that I've seen in quite a while. We had rain all night so hopefully it has moved off to the east and will help alleviate the fire situation a little. Exhausted after work today, so not doing anything productive tonight.
Hope you all had a good day.
