They bought it new and I didnt see any changes when I looked at it. I guess its still worth the $2000 I paid for it. Thanks for all your help guys. ...You got a very good deal! ...Very!

The kids would've just sold it off or ruined it. She knew I would take care of the it and boy will I!!!

I've been waiting in the wings on a similar deal. 75 y.o. widow I know of still has her husbands car in the garage...... A '67 Mustang fastback, GT 390 4-speed in red on black. I knock on her door every time Im in the area. Maybe someday the answer will be different? LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

It's a shame he cut the dash, installing a 2 1/16" OP gauge in the unused clock position is really simple; the plastic dummy gauge just happens to be 2 1/16" inside diameter.
