Hooray my hunt is over at last,
Matt did say…..”Buddy, patience pays off in the long run” and how true is that!!
For all those that maybe interested, Matt & Sheri (Shermatt) have in our opinion, come through with the goods – man I’m stoked …these guys are just great. The lengths they go to for their client is very reassuring as it can be a daunting process, parting with the hard earned and wishing for the best…under normal circumstances the average guy would never really consider doing so these days with all the scammers around!!
OK so, what did they find for me,
Well it’s a “partially restored 1968 Mustang “J code” convertible” in not too bad shape at all. On you tube if you want a look just type in Shermattamerica (one word) you can’t miss it from there guys.
The good, :f:f
1. $18.500.00US purchase price!!
2. J Code – what a bonus!!
3. Has new paint job, (love the colour – she’s Red ...Should make it go faster…LOL)
4. Newly fitted top
5. Deluxe interior in great condition for its age!!
6. 302 motor has had some recent work with approximately 6000 miles on it since being done.
7. Sounds pretty damn sweet _ mind you Matt’s driving leaves a lot to be desired – only kidding buddy!!
The Bad. ;]
1. Has a little bit of cancer in the cowling vents and one rear qtr maybe a bit suss?
2. The windscreen has a bit of a sizable chip out of it. (See a new one being shipped here with the car maybe?)
3. Engine bay and undercarriage needs a good clean up and repaint.
4. Now the wait to get her home where she belongs.
5. Well need to install an air conditioner in her – not that I mined at all!!
Just a few minor things tidying it up a bit, but nothing we can’t handle over a few weekends and a few cartons of Corona’s with the boys.
Guys, I’ll let to clips on you tube speak for themselves, and we’ll post many more photos as they come to hand.
The car is back at Matt’s stable, getting ready to be transported out hopefully next week from Tampa Bay to LA, en-route to Brisvagas
For all those doubters out there on the current costs out of the USA, let me just say, they have come in under my original budget with this little gem. We couldn’t be happier!!
so at the price we acquired this car for, I think proves the USA market is feeling the pain and you can land a “very good deal in a daily driver” for under $30k if you have the right people on it and are willing to be patient in finding a good one…………..Man I’m stoked!!
It’s better than I ever expected, it may not be a show car yet, but who knows down the track someday maybe – either way, I don’t care, coz it’s finally mine!!
I really do want to publicly express my sincere appreciation for what Shermatt have done for us. So Matt & Sheri …..Massive big thanks and hugs…you guys are fantastic and honest in your dealings. Having you there on the ground working for me in this process did take a lot of the stress out of the whole ordeal and your video inspections are a great way of connecting with your clients in the process of the purchase as if we were actually there too!!
