Vehicle Condition


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
