Well, new to me anyway!Driver's side frame is swiss cheese, the floors are soft, but I'll do something with it one way or other. It comes pre-disassembled!  It was a project car where the guy lost interest/didn't have the time. He bought it two years ago for $2000.  http://mustangsandmore.50megs.com/MyConvertible/August_7_2003.html Now I need to invent more hours in the day... ------------------

Looks nice Steve. What are you planning to do with it? Keep the six? It would be cool to see a '70 with a six in it still, especially with a 4 spd.  ------------------

I forgot to mention I only paid $200 for it.Thanks everybody! I am very happy, we have the car here now and the hood, doors and trunk lid are going back on. She's real soft on the underneath so her fate is still to be determined. She'll have to get in the project line, she has a Mach and a Sprint in front of her, in that order. She may end up painted Calypso Coral and with the six to make a low buck cruiser. I have a leftover Cobra Jet scoop from my Mach, add the stripes to the hood... Hmmm... I never thought I'd buy a convertible, I'm not a ragtop type of guy, but beggars can't be choosers. ------------------

$200!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about a bargain. It would look real good with the hoodscoop and stripes, even as a six. Convertibles are usualyl cruisers, not power machines. I think the six would be great for cruising, plus good mileage.------------------

Great deal and good for you Steve! So many projects and so little time. Have fun with the Stangs Steve and I'm sure you can talk Mike into helping you out with all three. Enjoy the wrench time. Dave & Terri ------------------
