Thank you Oztrailer for correcting this. Sorry for the late reply everyone but my mother had me busy with a Cancer issue. As for the rest of the weird story is that after my wife passed I and my 3 girls went and got tattoos of a Dragon fly for it was her favourite creature. Now after the mustang arrived at my garage (Jan 7 th), which is after the owner had power washed it top to bottom for inspection, we took it for a good drive on a nice January afternoon in southern Alberta and then it was trailered to my garage unloaded and then I moved it around and cleaned and polished it again and it sat for another couple of days. On my youngest daughters birthday I always tell her story of her mom (Jan 11), so I told the story of the Mustang being built on her birthday, it was a tear jerker for her. So I go out to the garage the next morning and there lying on the cement floor in front of the Mustang, not underneath but in front was a full grown Dragon fly not mutilated or damaged (wtf). I called my new wife out (7 years) to the garage and showed her this and we had another tear jerker, for this wasn't the first time something like this happed to us as when we bought our first house together the deal was signed on the day my wife passed away, when my wife became a Canadian citizen her ceremonie was on the day my wife passed away. A true matching numbers car. The dragon fly is in a ceiled box and goes where ever we go.
So, I've done lots of work to bring her back to a quality driver for it sat for 15 years in a heated shop account the guys wife didn't like it but with a couple issues to finish, 1 amber fog light socket is BO, the AC went on me but have another one coming and the stereo doesn't work but will fix that this winter. I sound proofed it from the rear seat back to the tailed of the trunk (what a difference) and will do the front this winter a well. It has had some rear quarter work but the rest is original paint, original carpet, seats and power train. The dash, door panels, regular steering column (now tilt), wheels were changed and I have all the original stuff. Put new electronic ignition in it, changed the hoses, shocks, oil pump, valve seals (guides were ok), cleaned the carb, new fuel pump and new light switch and relay.
That's it! looking forward to this site for things always break or wear down.
