For all that are interested in the car, this one is Rough Rough Rough. The car has been hit hard in the passenger side 1/4 at one time, the whole back passenger side "sags" or slopes down. The whole 1/4, from taillight to door is full of bondo; the fender "flare" is even shaped wrong. The driver's side rear 1/4 has been sideswiped as well, and the wheel lip is full of bondo. The cowl is bent, the roof is bent from the hood flying up. The doors don't line up with the doorframes either. The bucktag is there, the gauges are not in the car anymore. The car has pieces of a gray interior, blue interior and a black '79 coupe interior and the original seats are gone. The console delete stuff is missing, but he says he has it. He had lost the keys at the time that I looked at the car, so he couldn't start it up for me. I drove down there with a truck and trailer and 3000 cash and came home with exactly that, a truck and trailer and 3000 cash. The car would only be worth buying for the speedo in my opinion, there isn't much else on the car that is useful. Just an FYI, not trying to slam the guy but the car needs a whole bunch of work.

Thanks for the heads-up, Chris (and Matt, too). Sounds like it can still be saved, but it would be a major project.

Mike...this is the one you and I discussed going and looking at over a year ago. After seeing these pictures, I am glad we didn't go!

It's probably an old DPS Mustang and a rare one at that - but not one I'd want to mess with.

Thanks for posting the pics, Matt.

WOW, that really sucks then. I know of one other and have some contact info but not sure the email address is still good. The car was on autotrader a while back as well and might be a better one to track. I will get on that.

Thanks for the info Chris.

Matt

It is a shame, I was very excited to go pick it up and have a quick resto job. Luckily it was only about 70 miles away from me, or else I would have been a lot more upset. It's a shame to see them so beat up like that, I would venture to guess with how crooked the body is and how none of the panels line up that unless someone had pockets too deep for reason, the car wouldn't be worth restoring.

Matt, are you needing another DPS four-eye? Keep us posted and good luck! I always love seeing another '85/86.
