What's with the strange wheel flares and the extra tailights?

The dealership is about 12 miles from me I guess I will have to go check it out.

The guy who's running the ad should ask MrMustang for some marketing advice.


Ron, what's the scoop on this car?

Very early non rack & pinion car, with telescoping steering column.
Turn signal control on center of steering wheel hub similar to a Healy. 2nd generation of badging, Large diameter.

...not much history at all. Car's been under wraps for a while.

The Registry has it in Oregon in '72. Original color: Red
..not much info (or history) there.

Dual quads were a factory option. Probably Autolite carbs. Very scant history or story presented in narrative. Doesn't help your cause when the provenance is weak or not explained.

Nothing more reassuring than a dealer with 1 feedback on Ebay and a high reserve. Time to call my boys at Mannheim and Adesa.

Hard to work up a 140K lather when the only info provided is a V-8 and black paint.

Carter AFB'S about 400 cfm each but were"The Cats Meow" at the time an were in the Shelby accessory catalogs at the time. Not near as pricey as the 4 Italian Bretheren. About the power same as a well tuned single Holley without the hassle of multiple carburetion. Looked nice though.

The ad was a written by a used car salesman, an ediot. He couldn't spell Emron. Its Imron. He probably got confused with ENRON. Can't trust them with my money.

Most used car salesmen I know are NOT "ediots". I don't know much about paint.
