After her first owner, our White Lady was just like
25 year old car can be imaginable. Driven, but fortunately quite untouchable.
Not even one electric wire wasn't changed or added. I had to put one
extra wire, because windshield washer wasn't ordered in sunny California,
but here in Finland roadlaw says that you should have it. Same reason
forced to change headlights for H4 style.
She has had a new paint here in Finland,
original paint was very worn, but thanks to her first
home in San Diego there was very little rust. Engine was never opened, and it was very end
of running but nothing was broken. We made full upbuilt in quite original style
and parts. Interior was the worst part of her, I have changed
headliner, mat, trunk mat and seat upholsters here in Finland. Radio is
also on it's place. On the outside all chrome things, badges and wheel
hubs are original. Car is almost matching numbers, generator, starter,
carburator and radiator have changed, but the old ones are in safe place.
Also have owner's manual, original licence plates and frames from
University Ford, San Diego Ca.
I would say, that she is not a shiny pearl or
caramel, but has been very reliable and clean member of family for
our Summer cruises in 15 years and about 65,000 miles... Some of
you might know, that driving in winter with a Mustang is not necessarily
nice here in north part of Europe. If you like to contact me or my club your are
