1987 Ford Mustang

1987 Ford Mustang convertible. I purchased this car at a charity auction in Portland, Oregon pre Covid and had it shipped to Minneapolis. I'm not much of a "car guy" as this was an impulse buy for basically, a donation. I got the car home and had it serviced and detailed. I drive it on nice days always with the top down (I put the top down when it comes out of storage and it stays down all summer). It gets detailed and serviced every spring. I've never left the car outside overnight nor has it been in the rain since I've owned it.
I let someone use it in a parade 2 years ago and it overheated, so I brought it to my mechanic and he put a radiator, thermostat, thermostat housing, water pump and unhooked the heater (he said it was plugged and was crazy expensive to replace, don't need it in the summer anyway). He also put the electric fan on a switch below the steering wheel so I can turn it on if it gets warm. I don't think I've ever used it other than curiosity.
I had a muffler and tailpipe installed last year.
The same mechanic that did the radiator removed the radio as it was not working and it was cheaper to remove rather than fix the radio and all the speakers. He put a plate where the antenna and radio used to be. It looks factory in that regard. he also put a new shifter Knob and boot on it.
The car has basically ZERO options on it. P/S, P/B and a power convertible top are about it. Two sets of keys.
The odometer shows 64,XXX miles. The actual miles are unknown.
The car has been repainted and looks absolutely beautiful. It's as nice looking in person as in the pictures. It's very glossy and almost looks wet it's so smooth. Very minimal chips, less than on my 2 year old, daily drive car.
It starts right up, and drives down the road straight. No odd noises or rattles other than usual convertible sounds.
The car does have some issues:The seat belt retractors don't always work...very annoying.The parking brake doesn't work...very annoying with a 5 speed car.Reverse lights don't workThe middle brake light on the trunk, attached to the grocery rack, doesn't work.The horn doesn't work.The tires are dry cracked. That don't bother me, but apparently it indicates that they're old.Fuel gauge works but seems inaccurate to me.Heater unhooked.One tiny hole in the drivers seat (see picture)Convertible top has some flaws (see pictures)Cigarette lighter doesn't work.
The vehicle has what's called a "bonded" title in my name. I learned a lot in this process. When I got the car it had no title, only a bill of sale. I had to do my due diligence with the state of Minnesota DMV to prove the car was not reported stolen. Then I needed to have the new title bonded by a surety insurance company. The state requires a 3 year bond which I have paid up for the full 3 years. it's bonded through Western Surety Company out of South Dakota. The bond will expire in June of 2025. I waited 2 years before pursuing the title due to Covid and also the fact that the state gave me license plates right away so I could drive it. I was in no hurry. Google bonded titles if your unfamiliar with it.
I reserve the right to end the auction early as its for sale locally.
