This is what I bought:

Pictures really doesnt do it justice. Since you really cant tell much from the pictures, I actually expected the car to be much worse. But its in much better shape, and even though he said it came with all new carpet and door cards, he installed a bunch of stuff on the car that the pics show missing. And the dash is just beautiful, not at all what the pics looked like.
The amount of extras I got, I could sell and make a profit. But I wont, and in fact, he was a little afraid that I may flip this car (sellers terms, not drivers) I think they felt a lot better knowing that I would fix it up to keep and drive.
The owner was moving the GA to go to school, which was why he had to sell. His other brother had a beautiful GT6 MKIII and while this one is white with a blue stripe, his was blue with a white stripe... ..kinda cool brotherhood deal
They said I needed to replace the fluids and such, but he had already cleaned the tank and bought a new sender for it, and when I checked the oil, it appeared new. Of course it could be new oil that had sat for years so I'll still change it
The story his dad gave me was there was this guy in AZ who started buying up all these british cars and storing them. Well, at 80yo he had a stroke, and his collection was sold. A friend of theres told them about it, and this little car was one of the ones left. So its kinda like a "barn find" (not sure where they actually store it.
First day of ownership, while refueling halfway from home, an elderly couple drove up to compliment me on the car. Another person, a brit, complimented me on how cool the car was, and we had a long discussion about cars. Another person rode his bike all the way to the car, gave it a good looking over before riding back. This was all in just a few hours of each other.
What I think is awesome is the fact that I am able to push this car. I pushed it past several houses! Im a 115lbs girl and have never been able to push a car. I was able to push this and not even break a sweat.
Pretty much the only rust issues are what he took pictures of. For its age, its really not much. We're going to go ahead and do a frame off restoration anyway though so that the car will last another 42 years.
Theres a lot of interesting things on this car. A ton of original parts, including everything lucas. But we're not going to even attempt what works and what doesnt. We're going to rip out all the wiring and rewire everything ourselves. It came with part of a back seat Dont know if thats original though, but seems to fit the car. Its just a shame I dont have the other part. Though white, the car originally was british racing green with black vinyl interior. It will eventually be sonic blue (which if you google images for "sonic blue mustang" you'll see what Im talking about. I think the chrome will just pop with this color.
