It’s a 40 year old car. If you’re buying it as a project car to fix yourself and drive occasionally, then it’s likely a good deal. If you’re buying it because you need dependable transportation, you’ll be disappointed. If you’ll be paying someone to do all the repairs on it, you’ll need a large bank account. ---

You can fix lots of mechanical things, but rust is really nasty on old Mustangs, and can make them unsafe. You’ll want to check that out real well. ---

Apparently they got their education at MTV 101. Assuming the ad is legit and not the work of a scammer, a running 70 Mustang is easily worth 1400 bucks. Not anywhere near OK is it? ---

“I HAVE A 1970 mustang for seal” I have it on good authority that seals prefer Camaros of that vintage. And, in case you are interested, walruses prefer Cadillacs. ---

Elephant seals I’m told prefer Escallades. ---

Usually the 1st-gen Mustangs you see on craigslist for less than 10k are rusted out hulks with no drive train-- the fact that this one apparently runs would just be icing on the cake (bad grammar notwithstanding). ---

I don’t know where you live, but here in washington $2500 carefully spent gets you a drivable v-8 'stang. I got a sideswiped rust free '69 falcon with a 351w for five hundred bucks. I pulled the dent and replaced the fender and door and it looked good and drove like a hot rod from hell. (In fact, I saw a 1967 camaro 283 four speed rust free (solid floor pans, ect) go for four thousand, but it was on and off in a matter of hours) ---

It was stock looking, and he said in the ad he had plans with a 350. (Might have been an engine to put in for the time being, or a stock engine, I don’t know much about the camaros. ---

That’ll get you a Mustang II or a fox-body or mayyyybe one of the '71-73’s, but I have never seen a drivable '64-70 for less than about 5 grand, and you have to get into 10k plus to get one in decent shape. ---

Poor guy, can’t ytpe and can’t spel either. Either that, or he’s putting us on. Sort of like “Surely the widbey island village idiot doesn’t know what he’s got there.” ---
