holy moly      they just dropped the price to $21,000.      i watched this car for over a year.  was listed at 29,000.   raised by 1,000 over new years and yesterday I received an email from gateway that were dropping to 21,000..     too bad for me i was just diagnosed with an atrial fibrillation..    or i would drive there with a tow dolly.  :-(     hopefully it will fall into deserving hands and not just another flipper.

I’ve commented on this car here last year.... It was originally listed at $31K, I believe, definitely over $30k... It is a great car, pretty original as far as I can tell from pics. People want all the flash... , this car is better then 95% of the refurbished models out there. Great price. I’m full to the brim, sadly..,

I'm sorry to hear about your heart. Hopefully that can get straightened out then you can fulfil your bucket list.

Well.   I just pulled the trigger.    I put down deposit and wiring balance as soon as my bank calls me to sign papers.

I am pretty enthusiastic about getting this car.     Now I’m need some trim rings for the wheels....      thank you all for well wishes.. 

I am getting a procedure on my heart to bring it back to rhythm.

Congrats man. That looks like a really nice car at a good price. 

Wishing you all the best for your heart procedure. By Spring, you'll be out a cruisin.

If you like it the way it is the $21K is not a bad price, as opposed the $29K previous asking price. Have fun with it and I hope all goes well with health issues. In reference to 7173vert's comment " These comments here are hilarious... I often wonder why some people bother to own this year of Mustang..." Like yourself I like and appreciate these cars. I also follow the actual sold price of these cars. The $31K/$29K was significantly over priced as the $21K sold price reflects. I'm one of those "Fact, logic, and reason people". Chuck

Congratulations, a good decision! 

I followed this car over a year now as a reference car and ever was keen on it because of it's pureness and originality. I would take this car over any afterwards overspoilered and spray bombed car! There aren't not many around such as this car. Please keep it as is - a pure, original Fastback of 1973. It is beautiful and for that price you made a steal in my eyes! 

Why would you add trim rings? Is it a personal taste or where they there originally? I think if the steel wheels where painted they did not have any trim rings on them... But that's your decision, should not be any offence. I would only leave it as is - it is a pure beauty! 

I wish you all the best and hope all goes well with your health issues! 

Keep us up to dated, we are looking forward to news from you! 

Take care  :thumb:

Guess what I got?  Just arrived on a three cat hot-shot car carrier..    she needs some tune up work...   brakes, possibly clutch but I am very satisfied..    It came with a marti report.   I will post a picture of that if anyone is interested 

 

[cwalker509]

I assume/hope your procedure went well.  Glad yo see the car arrived and you are happy with it!  Keep us posted and i would love to see the Marti report.  There is a special section for them on the forums but I am happy if you post it here!

Congratulations on your purchase. Yes, we like Marti Reports, there is a section of the forum devoted to them:

If the car is as original as it sounds to be, I suggest photographing every inch of the car before you do any repairs/changes. They will help you, and others, in the future. Just a suggestion. Chuck

Congratulations that you have gotten her finally to you! 

Please keep us up to date, we love that originals! And please keep Chuck's words in mind - you and we all could profit by a documentation. On most of the cars the original traces are lost...

Congratulations, I hope all is well.
