Number 1843812450. I've never seen fit to comment on one of these before. I wasn't even going to when this guy called it a "68' Coupe Pony Stock BOSS 302 V8", or when he said "Could Be CS", i.e., Colorado/California Special. But where he really blew me away was:
"Two known problems; short in dash (runs regardless), vacuum leak and floor pans need to be replaced, (around $150 to fix all these problems at most)."
Anybody here do replacement floor pans for $150 at most?
For someone who apparently is somewhat knowledgable about mustangs, why does he not know that his claims of possibility are false? Boss = 69 to 71, California special would have all sorts of holes where the orig stuff was removed from the body, not to mention a completely different tail panel, and why would a high country special be delivered to California?
BTW: I love the "original" 66 caps...a very special option in 68...
i asked him what the price would be to stop the auction and was told that he had 5500 in the window. i am not sure that a coupe with rusty floorpans and needs a paint job is gonna bring that.
I replaced both floor pans in my coupe for 110.00..... well, 115.00 if you Count the wire and gas I used welding them in. But No way are you gonna have a pro do it for that!
I replaced my pans for about $150 for pans, welding rods, seam sealer and grinding disks. Time was the big factor.....over a month invested. Would probably take twice as long for me to find the short! Wonder how much THAT would cost...maybe the whole car if it goes up in smoke, hehe.
he sure knows his Mustang history..he must have read many books..*LOL*..too bad he has no idea which Mustangs are which so on and so forth..for under a grand.,.it could be a nice project..as for his $150 dollar estimate for repairs..the guy is dreaming..it would cost that much to get the black spray paint off the tires..*LOL*
