71 Convertable

[Rapid]

I have a chance to buy a 71 convertable 302/auto fresh out of paint with a solid body/frame, needing a new top and interior for 5K. Have not seen it but trust the seller. seems like a no brainer if as advertised. Any warnings? I drive a 65 as a daily.

Watch out for rust in the quarters, but you already knew that. Every mustang seems to have that problem.

Sub frame connectors are your friend BTW.

Thoroughly inspect the cowl (especially around the fresh air intake collar) as that is the biggest PIA to repair on these years and repro cowl parts are not available.

Thanks guys,

I will get subframe connectors early in the process as well as a Monte Carlo bar they made a big difference in my coupe.

I'll drive it down there. We have friends with a condo there somewhere.
