3. A matchbox? Hot wheels?

Monogram plastic model?

because if he gave you a full size real genuine 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible, he gets my vote for friend of the year...

What color is the interior? (on edit: I'm assuming the top is white... correct?)

11. What kind of quality is it?

Is it gonna need alot of work?

Why on earth would your friend just give it to you?

[SKKY]

12. Is it a Pentium, or AMD?

Do you plan on running Windows Vista? Because if not, I highly recommend Ubuntu Linux. It's tops!

13. Ok, a rundown on it's condition.

Starting at the top, only the frame of the ragtop is left.
The fabric was chewed up by rats.

The seats are nearly as bad.

The body is 99% rust, I only know it's red since a couple flakes of the original paint are left on it.

It has no tires, and the wheels are rusted solid.

Under the hood, there is no engine, or transmission.

A guy I know who collects old Mustangs is paying me $50 for the junkheap, he thinks there may be a few parts he can salvage.
He has a trailer to pick it up.
So I made $50 from it.

The guy who gave it to me bought it decades ago, and just left it in his barn, taking out parts for his other Mustang.
(Long since sold.)
He just wants it out of the barn, so he can put more of his farm equipment in that space.

[Archae]

15. Rustang?

16. Got a lot of extra cash and time? You are going to need it if you

want to drive the thing or keep it running.

Edit to say oops should have finished reading the posts and to :spray: :rofl: at "Rustang".
