Potential purchase

[72Mach168Cam]

I think you did very well on your buy. It couldn't be built for that kind of money. A few minor items that you mentioned are easily corrected. Like you said going with 500's. Excellent choice in my opinion. The rust free part is the best part of your purchase! Nicely optioned (4V-Ram Air, 4 speed, 9 inch), same owner 35 years, appearance shows it was extremely well maintained and a rebuilt engine to boot. The list of positives are impressive ones.

Any future plans for a repaint? As in original color?

Long term plans (2 or more years away) would be a repaint.  I need to complete the long overdue 71 vert and also my 12 yo daughter's 87 Bronco II

I understand the "long overdue". I'm at 17 years with my Camaro.

The more I look at pictures of Mustangs in Grabber Green metallic, the more I like it. Hope to be around to see it someday.
