I have a 69' Convertible it appears I will need to sell. It's a beautiful Indian Fire, which was repainted by the original owner in the early 90's. Paint looks pretty good for 20 years old, with some minor imperfections. Body panels are strong, with just a small bit of filler in the quarters, about the size of a 50 cent piece. Pans and Torque Boxes are relatively rust-free, as is trunk and shock towers. I bought this Mustang because it had an awesome foundation, knowing everything else can be fixed easily.
It's got the original 302 2V and Cruise-o-Matic trans. Mechanics are strong! Will need some suspension work in the future, as it all appears to be original. Front drum brakes were replaced recently, and radiator is newer.
Interior was originally white and dyed by original owner. It's in remarkably good condition for 44 years old, but I had planned to go white again, as Marti Report says there are only 120 of these color combos in the convertible variety.

PRICE: I've been looking over others, considering paint condition, color, being a Deluxe convertible, and things that will need to be done. Also calculating the new Magnum 500 wheels and tires too... Right now I am at $17,500 for a price. However, I'm willing to consider what others say, who have better expertise...
