You should have had a pro take those pictures. The lighting in the last few pictures of wheelwells was much better. \r\n- The master brake cylinder is impossible to see in your engine pictures, thus I can't tell if it is the original one reservoir unit, or upgraded to a modern dual reservoir system. \r\n- A big concern with these early Mustangs is RUST, both visible and HIDDEN. You should do what you can to clearly state if there is or was any rust involved in the repairs.\r\n- You need some videos: Drive by, cold start, cowl water test, walkaround.\r\n- Explain if you have tested all dashboard lights and switches plus external lighting and explain if they all work as expected or some do not work, such as the radio or horn.\r\n- I suggest you describe brand names or Genuine Ford parts vs cheap Chinese parts that were installed, such as the intake manifold, carburetor, etc. For instance I recently replaced my entire suspension and steering linkage with all Scott Drake and Moog parts (and Koni shocks) vs off brands. I even made sure to use the highest of three qualities that Moog offers for suspension parts. If you do not share that info, potential buyers will assume cheap parts were used. \r\nI wish you good luck but addressing the above will improve the credibility of the quality of the car.

The car was restored in the early 80's. The person we acquired the car from bought it when he was 16, somewhere around the late 70's. His father sponsored a race car at the local dirt oval track, the owner of that race car was a body shop. The story I received from the PO goes something like this- He sent the car to said body shop that his dad sponsored in the late 70's where the car was completely re done. Parts were still available from the dealer at this time which is why you see so many pictures with OEM part numbers on them (ie: the hood, steering hose, fender closing panel ect) The young man got in over his head on the price of the restoration so his dad decided to give him his daily, a 69 Nova SS, and flipped the bill for this mustang so he had something to drive back and fourth to college in the 80's. The car saw very little road use as the father also had a 65' Fastback that he preferred to drive. The intention was to return the car to his son completely restored when the son was in a place to accept the car so he didn't put many miles on it. We purchased the car from the son and did mostly service work with the exception of putting the correct color interior back in it. While the story is very cool, I have no documents as the father passed and records were lost. To make a long winded story short, most of the sheet metal has been replaced at some point although it appears to me the factory floors are still in place. I don't think this car saw much rust or weather even pre restoration and hasn't seen any since. I agree with you on the holley point you made which is why I chose to rebuild this 650 from the 80's rather than replace it!
