Default Grande?

Hello all, i was looking on craigslist and i found a 69 mustang that im interested, im just wondering if its a grande, cause i know the grande had the woodgrain panels, the three spoke steering wheel, and the cloth inner seats. and this car had all of them, Im asking this because im going to try and pitch the idea to my father, who will probably say no (because i know him) but i was thinking that if i can convince him about whether or not its a good deal, then he might be more inclined to think about it. Also i would love to know your feedback on what you think of the car. Thanks for anything and everything.

Ask for pics of the rust he was talkin about too. The PO of my car said it was minimal rust, which turned out to be cancer!

The add sounds fishy selling it for someone out of the country.Most grande have a vinyl top only thing i see even close is the door panels are the deluxe ones but those can be changed easy.But it looks to have power windows i think.

I realize the ad seems fishy because hes out of the country, but i did look him up, and unless the guy just picked some random dude who is out of the country the story checks out, with the pastor in africa and the breath of hope thing

Run as fast as you can from that, it's a scam. Why would they mention he's a pastor unless they are trying to make you think this is honest? And he's in Africa to boot!

Stay away or be prepared to lose your money.

Well, here are the steps I have taken so far, I have sent 2 emails, 1 to the seller on craigslist, asking for the VIN, and pictures of the rust, engine bay, and dent, and 1 email to the breath of heaven organization, adressed to Pastor Ted Lawler, asking him if he was selling a mustang, so if he is then great, if not, then he is aware that someone is scamming with his name.
