- Red on red '65 Mustang Convertible  

- Tons of eye appeal - just in time for spring

- Classic American pony car - can assist with shipping to Europe if necessary

- You are not going to break any speed records in this car, but drive it to your local car show and it will get a ton of attention.  A great fair weather cruiser.

I have viewed and photographed this classic Mustang.  It is in very good "driver" condition and would not take much to elevate it to show condition.  It is a former trophy winning Mustang.  

Flaws that I noticed during my photo shoot include:  

- Some paint chips visible 

- Brightwork is starting to pit  

- Passenger side of hood not sitting right - might need a spring adjustment  

- Lower passenger side door shut line gap - larger than normal

** Please don't take my photos and comments as a substitute for your inspection.  See it for yourself or hire an expert on your behalf.  The owner welcomes and encourages your inspection.

Please feel free to ask questions prior to bidding.  I will make sure to get every questions answered in a timely basis.    

I invite and encourage any interested party to inspect this car in Leesburg, VA.
