I`m from South Africa and i picked up this Mustang(which is very rare on this part of the globe)5years ago,for R10,000.I`ve spent about R90,000 on it in restoration costs.I had to import all the spares from America at R6.50 to the dollar.The restoration process is finished,just some minor cosmetics to be done.The paintwork is Mid chrome.
We have a Mustang club here and have regular meetings and outings.
