Default Talk me into or out of this...

My neighbor is moving and wants to sell this beauty. She's an early 70s Mustang, I am not clear on exactly what year. Missing almost all the trim with a running 351C but that's all I know about her so far. It's raining outside so I can't exactly stroll over there and check her out.



The kicker is he is only asking 2500 dollars. So..worth it or not worth it?

It's a 73, the 90 pound front bumper is unmistakable. Is it a sportsroof or a mach1? The VIN will tell.

Its a 73 and if the floor pan and cowl are not rusted out id buy it if i was you.Its probably a sportroof but only the vin can tell tho.If you don't want it let us know where its at one of us would buy it.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I walked by her today even though it was still pouring rain. I couldn't spot the vin through the windshield, is it on the door on this 73 or somewhere else? I know the 60s cars, not the 70s. I should have looked through the side window to see if there was any water on the floorboards but I didn't think about it.

I'm really torn, I want the car since I've watched her for 2 years now sit in that metal barn behind her just wanting to run. But I'm beginning to think I have an addiction though. I have 2 66 coupes, a 66 Nova, a 69 Ford f-350, and two newer vehicles.
