Did not look like they had real money. Was anyone there to see the car in person? They want 65k

I would also like to hear from someone that was there or has seen it in person. It looked very nice on TV. Anyone know if it has been repainted? The paint looked almost too good in HD without the characteristic orange peel.

I saw the car today at the auction. It looked like a nice car with14K miles. The owner stated he had owned for 22 years. He bought it out of Alabama. 60K will buy it. He lives in Washington,Mo. Not far from St. Louis.

Those dark headlight covers didn't help it's look IMO.

Just curious, I know you like Mustangs and I thought of you. (Hemmings Ads in the past) I was in KC on business (I stay at Legends) this week and saw a lot of cars heading into the city on trailers. When I saw that orange car roll across I wondered if you were there.....

I also stay in Independence a lot....

My wife and I have had 39 Mustangs,7 BB Chevelle SS's,and 3 BB GS 455 Buicks,BUT the 86 GN we now have is the most fun. I have never been a fan of the Boss 302. For the money the GNX at the auction would be much more appealing!!

no

If it is truly an original paint car, then it is the most well polished, cleanest, most orange peel absent and best looking original paint I have ever seen on any one of the >100 I have seen and seriously considered . If it is as nice in person as it appeared to be on TV I would seriously consider making a cash offer very near to the sellers lowest acceptable selling price.

They all look better underneath the lights. The paint is nice,BUT not without scratches. It could use a buff,but for original paint it was very nice as is!!!
For $60k I wold think a bargain!!!
