1985 Mustang GT Convertible Project Car

1985 Ford Mustang

For Sale is a 1985 Mustang GT Convertible for restoration.
I was going to try to restore and realized I am way in over my head and my priorities have changed.
Car is mostly disassembled including the engine (down to bare block). The engine had a head gasket leak.
Have motor and most parts to it. Original 5-speed manual T5 transmission (was functioning fine when removed). No carburetor or original air cleaner cover.
Body is in good shape, have original fenders and hood, no dents. Bumpers are in good condition. No apparent collision damage. Some surface rust near battery box where there was a leak and near break fluid reservoir. Both areas are covered with POR.Top in good condition, back window needs to be re-glued in one area.
Interior is in good condition, needs new dash pad. A/C and heater need work.
Have 10-hole wheels and the proper center caps (metal not plastic), need refinishing.
You could buy and part out the car. I have no desire to do so because it would be a shame to do so given the body is in such good shape and rarity of the car. 5,549 1985 GT Convertibles were produced and less than half had a manual transmission.
Please message me if you have any specific questions and I will do my best to address them.
Added pictures per an interested party's request. The dash and center console have more parts to them in good condition, they are just packed away and unable to take pictures at the moment. Car does not have the original radio.
I also changed the original mileage to 76,126 in the ad because I was able to confirm on the odometer since I unwrapped the instrument cluster for a picture. I previously overestimated the mileage at 85,000.
The original convertible grey boot cover to match the interior and a carrying case for it with the car.
Car has original spare tire and jack.
Have the correct white Automotive paint for the engine bay. Single stage Sherwin Williams.
Buyer must arrange pick up or delivery of the vehicle and parts. Please bring boxes or plastic bins for multiple small parts.
Payment, cash upon pick up or delivery.
