SUMMARY
A late-production, first generation, left-hand drive Convertible project that's already benefited from substantial expenditure and just needs finishing.
DESCRIPTION
- Finished in Silver Blue with a blue vinyl interior and black soft top
- First registered in the UK in August 2016 and with our vendor since 2017
- Significant investment during that period but remains partially disassembled and therefore is best described as a rolling project with much work already completed.
- Could be reassembled and on the road without too much input, depending upon your requirements
- With a more in-depth refurbishment, there is real potential to produce a show-worthy Mustang
- Has formed part of a private Collection in recent years with little use therefore an element of recommissioning is to be expected
- With that in mind we welcome and encourage your early inspection to satisfy yourself that the vehicle fulfils your expectations
