LOL, not bashing them just stating the facts.
I actually came to Dearborn Michigan and bought a car there and a pile of parts. Was at the Ford Mustang meet three years ago and brought back the black 73 vert. Then bought the crashed 72 vert in Grand Rapids. I paid $3,200 for the black one and $1,500 for the crashed car. It just had heads pulled and valve job. Ceramic coated headers installed and Pypes exhaust. Brand new top also. The interior was perfect even the door panels.
There is not a rust hole in the black car except on the passenger side in front floor. Was a Ziebart car.
It was on ebay also and everyone was afraid of it being in Michigan. Was in storage for 13 years so not in salt.
One of our European members wanted a Mach 1 and I found him one and he backed out. It needs nothing great driver 72 Q code 4 speed Mach 1. Was an automatic. three spoke, tilt, ram air, mach 1 sports interior, convenience group, PW, PDB, PS, front and rear spoilers, AM/FM, long console, AC, red with black interior, more options that I forget. It was $22,000 asking price.
I just do not see buying a plain jane car and having to find all the other stuff.
I do not know if he will still sell the 72 for that price but he would last winter.
