Hello all,
I started a thread about a month ago about this find, and was lucky enough to buy it from the original owner (who I had to track down - he had moved out of state) last week.
EDIT: VIDEO NOW AVAILABLE HERE:

Just got it back home today - haven't had a chance to do anything to it save give it a wash. If it wasn't for the quarter-panel damage and mold in the interior, it's very clean, though with a mediocre 1980's repaint (which almost looks factory - someone took this car apart quite a bit to spray it). It's been sitting on a concrete driveway slab since 1978, and the undercarriage and unibody are not to be believed for a car that has been parked outdoors since 2002.
It's an early '71 - build date 11/70 on the door tag - with a New Jersey VIN code - 1T05M. It also has a two-spoke steering wheel which I've never seen in any other '71 Mustang interior photos, and the Sports Wheel Covers (which, from the look of internet photos, don't seem to be that popular).
I haven't had time to take many photos - spent most of the day doing a video log of it - but here is what I have at the moment:
The bad part:
