file for the history of this car, all the floors and rear quarters are replaced only as needed, the magnet sticks virtually everywhere, it is important to note, that in the 2003 period onward to 2010, the 1967 and 1968 Mustang 2+2 fastbacks are in great demand, especially when they are stock and have a correct big block as they look like the new Mustang that is produced with many variations including the Shelby GT 500 and the Rouse cars, this car is in the top color of CandyApple Red, the car is immaculately detailed, note the underchassis of this car is detailed for top, top driven MCA concours as factory, they are full red oxide, all the brake and fuel lines are detailed, new fuel tank, then there is a coating of clear to protect these areas, the interior is also done, the factory correct shifter was replaced with a Hurst unit to make this shift better than new, the full gauges are correct and the factory full dash is new, a tachometer is added in a period presentation by the steering wheel, has the desirable wood and aluminum steering wheel, the interior is as new with a top specialist finishing all the work with dyeing, carpet, side panels, fold down rear seat with red

the rockers, all sides are straight as an arrow, the CandyApple base coat, clear coat paint was applied, allowed to cure, then the wonderful shine was accomplished at the end of the process by a professional 'finisher' who spent 10 hours to buff this paint, excepting extremely minor areas that are seen only under intense light stop this from being a trailered car, that is, the goal was to make a 2+2 that one could drive, this is a honest description of the car, only these tiny areas stop this from being almost a Concours paint, the suspension on this car is all new, bushings, shocks, front and rear springs, ball joints, all the front end is new, the steering box tight, the alignment work is outstanding and set to drive well straight, this has the oversized Shelby front sway bar, the rear end is held to the ground under acceleration and braking with the optional Shelby traction bars, these are the only changes to complete a stock GT and make this one of the best handling Mustangs one could drive, all the floors, fenders and rear quarters are in excellent condition, steel everywhere, this has the Ford numbers everywhere on the car, see the trunk inner drip rails have the Ford stampings, the magnet sticks virtually everywhere, note the underchassis of this car is detailed for top, top driven MCA show car, the full interior is also terrific, beautiful red buckets and full interior look terrific, all the door handles both inside and outside are new, the gauges and full dash bezel are correct and work, the Mustang newer AM-FM radio with antenna works, note this has very expensive and hard to get NOS trim pieces around the rear window, front windshield and other such areas, these pieces fit way better than the reproductions, if found, they are worth $2500 alone, note the data tag on the door has the correct original information that is shown on the attached page, starting with only $20,000 for a real 390 car, expenses of $99,430 were just added up, since this work was accomplished at a low basis set for back in 2006, this fine build could not be finished for that price going forward, in the final preparation, another Mustang expert did the final test drive with Fraser Dante with the excited comment that "this car performs better than any Mustang I have even driven", this is from a collector who only has $200,000 to $325,000 big block Mustangs, there are attached sheets to this report, again, there are extensive notes of all parts and labor to accomplish this goal of perhaps the best driven show Mustang ever, this is the best that Fraser Dante has achieved in our 23 years, note that for many people desire the Mustangs exactly like this, you can put the massive power down easily, a top, top driven Muscle Car show car, finished for showing and driving for our customer in July 2009, pricing today that can not be duplicated for such a car is $100,000
