No value in arguing about individual experiences I suppose. I've bought a lot of vehicles in my day, probably over 80 at least, and I have never been able to "Buy the seller". I suppose that means that if you like the seller, you buy the car. But in two of my bad experiences with private...

The Pearlescent effect is very faint, but it's there on ours. I will try to take a pic of it, but I doubt it will show.

Yup, Ditto here !

Most of the dealers are selling consignment cars. I have always gotten better deals from dealers, and have been screwed over by private party guys who don't have a reputation to protect. Nowadays with the internet reviews, a customer can ruin a dealer for life in 5 minutes, try that with a...

I love this, I wish ours wasn’t so original and rust free, I would do this to it in a heartbeat. We’re those Cougar taillights without the grills?

I bought my 65 Corvette 327/365 Coupe out of Vaughn, Ontario, it was no big deal to get it back into the states and well worth it with the exchange rate. My wife and I made a nice trip of it, stayed at a bed and breakfast on the Canadian side in Niagara Falls. Here’s a pic of it in the...

Right on Spike !! I have no allegiance to brand, just to if it's cool or not. Here is my 65 327/365 L76 Stingray Coupe. When i found it in Canada, it had all three of my favorite requirements, 67 Big Block hood, factory style knock off wheels, and factory style side pipes.

I wonder what AustinVert's build date is ? ! These are not exactly early build dates. I would think the late build 73's would include May, but now I'm guessing 1973 had an extended build run due to the high volume of Mustangs sold, especially convertibles, (twice the number of '72's as I...

Welcome from Connecticut, love that your car is a Sportsroof, ( I had a 73 Sportsroof too, so they hold a soft spot in my heart) as mjseakan said, great stance and color !!

Hemi understood my point, and gave me the answer I needed to know why Austin's vert didn't have Comfortweave. In my business, (I'm a boat dealership owner) we have seen the pearlescent sheen on white vinyl on some boats, but not on others of the same year/make/model. It probably has to do with...

Heck, I figured that out in 1976 on my 73 Sportsroof! I took just the seat back ones out, that was the perfect angle for a 19 year old. LOL

I totally agree with the dark green being a nice color. Very popular in the late 60s and early 70s. Think about all the dark green sports cars in dark green, MG, Triumph, Jag XKE, Austin Harley. Still looks good today in my opinion as I see it coming back on new cars and trucks, for like the...

This is an interesting post. What is your trim code? Our original seats have a pearlescent sheen to them. I was under the impression there was only one white trim code for 72-73, CW on a convertible, and they were the same, with Comfort Weave and Corinthian Vinyl. Was there another choice ? I...

In my opinion, In so many ways he ruined the car. Why on earth would you mod this car in any way??!! It shouldn’t have needed anything but preservation with so few miles on it. I do think it would have been cool if Ford built it from a Sportsroof rather than a Mach I though. When I first read...

That's an amazing story Kevin, what I find really interesting is the son's first order of business after his Dad passes, was to complete the sale with you for his Dad. I'm sure he probably knows his Dad would want it that way.

I’m with you KenKen, I’d have to have them the correct direction, it would drive me crazy! Is the OP going back to the maker? It’s nice that they got them done quickly but I would rather have them take an extra month and have the correct direction.

Love this story Spike, you look to cool for school in that pic !!

LOVE THAT POST SPIKE !!!

Yes Dennis, we here in the north have learned that a find like this from the south or out west is a huge advantage and head start. This is cheap money in my opinion for such a great start.

Hey Dennis, I’d be all over this if I didn’t already have too many projects. Seems like a really good deal!
