SUMMARY

This Mustang ran and drove with issues of note. On the exterior I noted the body panel fit was way off. The paint was peeling in numerous areas and there were paint chips on the right and left door edges. Additionally both doors made a creek noise when opening and closing and they bind really badly when closing them. The glass was in good shape and so were the tires but one of the wheels was missing a hub cap. All the exterior lights worked. The left rear fender ahead of the wheel opening was distorted due to excessive use of body filler. There is rust on the lower part of the left rear fender behind the wheel opening. There are 4 holes drilled into the front bumper and the lower front valence panel is bent. The hood is misaligned as well. The convertible top is manually operated and functions okay. The edges of the top over the right and left windows were frayed. The rear plastic window in the convertible top is torn as well as heavily oxidized.

The interior looked tired and worn. I did see rips in the seat bottom upholstery in the driver's seat bottom and the right rear passenger seat bottom. The blower motor did not work therefore the heater and defroster did not either. Additionally the dash was not cracked but the surface was wavy;. All the gauges did work but the radio didn't work. The carpeting was worn and faded. The original ignition switch was bypassed and there is another switch dangling under the dash. The seat belts were removed and are in the trunk. The trunk was in pretty good shape with nothing more than some surface rust

The engine compartment was orderly. The engine oil was full. After the test drive I noticed coolant leaking from the top surface of the radiator. The drive belts looked worn but the cooling hoses looked okay The undercarriage is quite dirty and grimy but no fluids were seen dripping on the ground.

On the road test the engine was smooth and made decent power. The transmission never missed a beat. However when accelerating from a stop the driver had to tap the accelerator pedal 2 times to keep the engine from stalling. I did not hear any squeaks, rattles but there was a grind noise heard. The tires are wearing evenly and there was no pull in the steering wheel under braking or acceleration. The seller cut the road test short before it was completed.
