Not sure if the Ebay ad will show up after I cancel it in a few moments. I sold the car to a local guy not far from me off the Craigslist post. The guy in the pic is the proud new owner. Very big guy. 6'2", 300ibs. I can see why he likes the "Big Body" Mustangs, like me! Very nice, friendly guy. No hassles. Called me yesterday, met me at the bank today with $26K in cash. I wanted more, but now I can finally move on to some of my many other projects. BTW, I have two extremely rare 71 Mach Is I'll be selling soon. They are projects though. More details later. Kevin.









BYE BYE!

Congratulations on finding it a new appreciative home. Similar to your experience, my 73 vert is now in Fresno, CA with new owner, but it took awhile for a serious buyer willing to come close to the asking $$.

Same as the 2 happiest days in a boat owners life. The day they buy & the day they sell

Regarding boat ownership, I totally agree.

But when it comes to my cars, it's kinda like a member of my family leaving. I get sad for awhile.

Good booze and cigars help fix that  !!   ::thumb::

Such a nice car. I am sure the new owner will be very happy with it!

Totally agree Bru! My passion is a good Patron margarita and a acid cigar from Drew Estates! Had both last night

For sure a great car with no rust. The Ebay listings stay up for a while if you go to the sold some stay a year or so. This gives us a great feel for what a solid car will bring.

Congratulations on the sale! As for rust or no rust, there's always rust on overlapping sheet metal/welds.

Congrats from me too Kevin. I think the guy got a great deal. Hope he appreciates it for many years to come.

As for the GL Mach, I just wish it was complete, I'm still looking!

Also agree on the boat thing, They're just a hole in the water where you throw money, I was happy when I sold mine as well.

Congrats on the sale. Hopefully with it being local you will see it from time to time and the new owner will take good care of it. Itching to find out about the next two coming up for sale. Not that I have the money or the space with all of my other projects, but great to hear what is on the market.

Loved that car from afar, happy for you but feel a little sick that it’s gone.

Thanks 72 MustangSprint. But you know how these things go-it will probably be back up for sale in a year or two (ONLY AT TWICE WHAT I GOT FOR IT!!  :shootself: )

Congratulations on the sale. You got my ears open with the two rare 71 Mach 1 projects coming up for sale. Should I keep some garage space freed up?? lol

Thanks Timberice! To answer your question, only if you have some extra parts or a good parts car to finish. These cars will be very affordable, and are very nicely optioned full rollers needing some restoration but missing mostly interior and some other pieces. Both are 71 M code Mach Is. Both are very early production cars. Both came with fold down rear sears. Both came with factory Ram Air. Both have matching number drive trains. One is auto, one is 4 spd. One is an A/C car, one is not. One is Wimbledon White with Vermillion Mach I sports interior, one is Grabber Lime with Black Mach I Sports interior. Got your interest yet? Kevin.
