The first-generation Mustang remains one of the most sought-after cars out there, and it’s not hard to see why. This particular model gave birth to one of the most successful and popular cars in history, so it goes without saying it must be part of every respectable collection out there.
The Mustang you see here is one of those models that haven’t “been taken apart,” the owner explains. Still, by the looks of things, the car has already received several questionable changes.
One of them is the color, as the red finish you see in the photos here isn’t the original paint that came with the Mustang so many years ago. The original color was Silver Frost with a black interior, so for some reason, someone decided to give it an exterior refresh at some point during its life.
“I got in on a partial trade about 15 years ago, but hasn't been cranked or driven since the mid-‘90s,” the owner explains in a post on eBay where they’re trying to sell the car.
Needless to say, a car that’s been sitting for so long obviously comes with some rust, and you’ll find some on the floor, in the lower quarters, and the bottom side of the doors.
As for the engine, as this is one of the tidbits most people are looking for, there’s a mysterious unit hiding under the hood, as the owner says they know nothing about it.
“[I] don't know anything about engine or trans. The man I got it from said it was running and driving when they parked it. Needs complete restoration or get it running and driving and have fun with,” they say.
While the Ford comes without a title, it rolls and steers, so theoretically, if the engine is alright, you should be able to drive the car back home on its wheels. Of course, this is something that needs to be inspected in person, and the car is parked in South Carolina for anyone who wants to do that.
The price of the car is up to eBay users to decide, as the car is listed for auction, with the highest bid at the time of writing sitting at $2,329.
