Congrats.  Pictures when you can.  How bad was the fire?

My family had a '66 hardtop that I worked on in my early teens.  It was going to be mine to drive, but my brother got rear ended in his Chevelle, so he got the '66.  I guy down the block had a '69 Grande which I bought at age 15 in '78 and owned for nine years.  Courted my wife while driving it...

Mine is a 250 straight six, so appears to be one of 565 made that year.  It has a C-4 transmission.  It is a survivor with original paint, interior, engine, etc...  I have the original wheel covers and side mirror in the trunk.  I get to spend a month with the car starting in about a week.  I...

Thanks OMS. It seems every source has 6121 or 6401.

As a new owner of a 1972 convertible, I am learning what I can about the car.  I have seen various places that the same number of convertibles (6,121) were made in both 1971 and 1972.  This information is on the Mustang Data tab (then 1971 Info and 1972 Info sub tabs) on this site and multiple...

I just bought my 1972 survivor convertible with 65,000 miles in October.  It has had no restoration work done to it.  It has a few non-original features - wheels, side mirrors and radio/speaker/antenna, but is otherwise fairly original.  It has the base 250 6 cylinder.  Not a directly comparable...

A few more pics.  I am pleased with the car.  It ran really rough, but a change of spark plugs and fuel filter helped a bunch.

Here are a few pictures.  When I changed the license plate I noticed the original paper notice underneath.  I am amazed that it is still there after all these years.  Also digging the 1970s era Jesus fish bumper sticker.  

It will be a month until I will be back with the car - it lives in Arizona year round, I do not. I am planning on a photo shoot that weekend.

I bought the car over the weekend. It is insured and licensed as a classic car, meaning that it did not have to have to be tested for emissions. There are some restrictions on driving it, but my use of the car fit within the restrictions. The seller purchased it in 1978 and took good care of...

Thanks will e.

Owners says he has the original side mirror. He wanted mirrors on both sides and added a non-original design. He did not know the story on the antenna, as it was that way when he bought the car. I am two weeks from getting to drive and inspect the car.

Nevermind - It looks like I will be able to license it in Arizona after all.

I may have run into a glitch in the plans. I live in Kansas much of the year, but this car is in Arizona. I plan to only use it in Arizona where I have a second home. It appears that I have to license the car in Kansas, my state of residency, and cannot license it in Arizona despite owning a...

This car seems like a good entry level purchase. It is affordable because it is not particularly collectible. If it were rare or had a much larger engine, I could not afford it.
