Been wanting one of these since I was ten years old. Now 17 years later and after a lot of hard work and saving have finally got myself a Mustang vert! Factory GT aswell! For a 44 year old car it is in excellent condition with absolutely no rust. Drives like a dream. Even has a day/night rear vision mirror and seat belt warning light !!!!!!  Love it :+:+:+ Only problem is it has raining cats and dogs in brisbane all week and haven't been able to use it that much. Hoping the weekend is better and cruzin here we come!

One hour drive north of Brisbane.

Red wasn't my first choice of colour, however now that I've had the car for a couple of days I think the colour is great. Its signalflare red.

Full matching numbers car!

Hey nh, great work on your new addition. Same as mine! Candy apple and different interior though, my 66 cleared customs just into the new year. How did you go about your purchase, where did you start etc? Living the dream!

Supr,

Found the vert on that good old site Carsales. It was imported into the country in July 2008 from Sacramento Cali.

nhmustang,

Looks real nice. I t must be a proud time for you to acheive this goal.

Many happy times ahead, I'm sure will be had .....oh and we need the rain, but hopefully it will ease so you can get it out of the paddock soon.

A nice Sunday drive to Mt Tamborine might be in order mate!
