Is there any rust? Dents? Does your paint job include body work?

I seems like a good deal for a running car. Find out if it has a clear title - meaning no leins and also insures it wasn't stolen.

Yes it comes with body work, i work at a paint and body shop and actualy know how to do body work and am also training with the head painters to become one.

But i decided not to get it,
I am going with a 96 mustang convertible.

Tell me what you think of it.

Personally, I think your 65 is a nicer ride!

The '96 seems like a deal too, although it's hard to tell if it's in good shape from the photos. I would think you could fix and flip it for a profit though.

I prefer the old Mustangs.

Yeah man its all nice and everything, i went and checked it out, it just needs a tail light witch i can get from my work for cheap as heck and also know the guys at the auto glass place down the street so can get a new back window for cheap also.
I am exited cause its my first car and i am paying for it myself,i ma picking it up next friday or the week after that prob.
I am getting it painter right after which i get for free from my work so thats perty cool. i am thinking about what color to get.
i was thinking a all black metallic with bright metallic orange stripes or have it flopped the other way then selling the rims on it and getting some black ones or maybe have it all metallic black with metallic green stripes down the middle or maybe a dark metallic gold stripes down the middle.
What do you think would be good?
i am open to any suggestions.
