Tomorrow morning..I want to make sure I am not forgetting anything to check for. What are the first things you look for when buying a mustang? 65 coupe 200 c4 plain jane with power steering. TIA
 
RUST

ohh, it said things

  • all vins match title
    straight body panels
    Water test (ask permission first), water in cowl
    Starts, shifts, smokes?
    Brakes work
    Rust underneath, floor pans, trunk drop offs, battery tray
 
tap on floor pans from underneath, cowl as mentioned, toe boards, trunk area, AND NO FREAKIN' HACKED DASH!!! good luck and let us know
 
Sorry for the delay guys...I passed on the car. It truly was very original and very nice. It drove out nice and was nearly everything he said it was. Unfortunately he wasnt a car guy and I spotted a few things such as what looked like three bubbles on the pillar on the outside, some light rust on the firewall lip about six inches long and a hole in the pass side trunk floor that was only visible from underneath. The cowl still looked new from underneath and the rest of the body was rust free. He wouldnt go any lower than 7k so I told him I was going to pass. Oh well I will keep looking
