Same car but more pics on the dealers site.  My daughter rather likes this car.  The seller seems to not be a Mustang guy or even a classic car guy (mostly newer cars on the site).  I have gotten numerous add'l pics and the car does seem solid.  I am gonna throw shade on the idea that this is a Ford paint job.  The fender bolts are painted over (I had thought they shouldn't be?).  Blue rear spolier?  Blue lower body painting and the blue paint on the hood doesn't appear to have the correct contour.  But it does appear to be somewhat highly optioned. 

Crap away on the car PLEASE.  I want honest opinions.  I barely have space for another car and this will force me to get a lift in the next year or so (gf will store one car for me).  Drivers rear power window is not working, will lower but not raise.  A/C works and is aftermarket (looks to be vintage air?).  Just looking for anything grossly off.  H code so nothing special there (for me).

 
That car is NOT a sprint

Sprint would have a int code of HB on the door tag

 
I realize it is not a sprint. I was referring to the paint. It is a 05 Mach. I am looking for value assessments and opinions

 
all original never restored ----- Buyer called to confirm if this was a scam or not because of 4 barrel or 2 barrel carb and also paint on the spoiler not being black vehicle has custom paint from factory in detroit when car was ordered I will be posting pictures of carb to clear up any confusion
Clearly, the dealer doesn't know a thing about Mustangs, or is being fed a line of BS from the owner. No special paint here with the 9A paint code and two digit DSO and it's pretty clear that it's been painted.

That said, it has a nice option load with the sport deck rear seat, M1 Sports Interior, power windows, convenience group and tilt wheel. Interior looks to be original upholstery.

$20K is a bit high, but it's a dealer so they're padding what the owner really wants. Too bad there are no undercar shots. DSO 45 in '72 was Lansing, Michigan ordering district. Be a good idea to look under it before committing.

 
Some additional pics. Trying to get pics from inside trunk look at bottom of qtrs. Streaking on white paint. New leaf springs installed. Definitely not unrestored but it is just over $13k on ebay with no reserve. Also headers added. Looks like floors maybe replaced? Never done those but the pinch area looks a bit off to me.











 
Driver's lower quarter has been replaced, contour at bottom is wrong as the factory didn't turn up and a good bodyman should have smoothed out the forming wrinkles.

Car has had a lot of work, including bodywork... See it in person before pushing the bid key....

I did not bid on it.  The guy was really good about sending me info at first and then nothing.  In the listing he also said he would put a pic of the carb.  Not sure if he was dishonest or just clueless.  The streaky paint (black mildew cr@p that i have seen on white paint on other cars including the Sprint i used to have).  On to looking for something else.  The car was listed at 20k on their site.  Disappointing that people do not note problems in listings.  He told me one of the windows would go down but would not raise (on power) but that is not listed anywhere.

That's always the same...  :-/ 

Ask me how I know! Often drove hundreds of miles for a car with issues you saw from 10 feet away but nothing of it mentioned, although made some phone calls too with specific things asking. I hate that...

That's easy look close at the rear window pics, you can see the tape lines on the aluminum trim

Mine was DSO 45 (Lansing, MI), if that makes any difference to anybody. ;)  rofl
