So that was what I had up for honestly the longest time since I purchased it with the intention of reselling it. No luck with offers here and there for $12k and $13K I was content with keeping the car even though she drove like a boat! It was still great overall the muscle car feel, how big the car felt, and the sound! The 4v carb I put on it with the larger intake made all the difference.
But with some luck the first day I put it on Facebook MarketPlace it was sold! I took $15k cash with it as I had so many eggs in so many baskets my liquid capital was running low but the guy who bought it really seemed excited about it. He did mentioned he was going to take it to have all the small details address: some paint chips, some paint bleed, some screws missing, etc.
Overall this car was fun! I really enjoyed owning it and I have a new respect for the last good classic mustangs
