Hey John,
I feel your pain, if it’s time it’s time, and probably a great time to see her go to a good enthusiastic buyer.
Prices are at a premium and getting a good one into Australia is getting expensive, that’s why the prices are a premium and especially for a Fastback, IMO, Ford made the first two years of the Fastback great and iconic and never made anything after that as good or as iconic.
I still stand by 100K as it is, I wasn’t taking into account matching numbers GT.
Great that it is a 289, and easy to add power steering, my 68 was without power steering and the difference when I added it was incredible.
If I had my time over again this would be the car I’d be interested in.
Hope you get your arthritis under control and sell to someone nice.
Cheers Phil.
