Was that car from Columbus?


It was on Columbus CL, but it was actually in Newark. The ad is still up. Funny thing, I tried to contact him several times. He's had it listed for a long time. I could never get a reply. I assumed it was sold and he didn't take the ad down (like it is now, lol). But I tried again and finally got a response and made the deal happen.

I bought it mostly for my wife. She needed a different car, and she wanted something 'special'. She wanted a convertible mustang. Oh c'mon, everybody has a convertible mustang (and people want a million dollars for even the rattiest ones!). Lets get something reeeely special ;).

I am fortunate to have a wife who loves old cars, and is not afraid of the problems they sometimes have. Heck, she does her own oil changes.

It looks decent, you did well.
One thing convertible owners never find out until they buy the car: convertibles ALWAYS need work with the top, the interior, or both. Welcome to the club. ;)

For sure
