Hi there; While attending the local Mustang Roundup, held here last weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting this cars owner, and viewing this vehicle up close. The lady had driven the car, quite some distance, in hopes of finding a prospective buyer. While looking the car over, I would bet on it's authenticity. The car's grille, seemed to be in excellent condition, and the rest of the unique parts, seemed correct, and in place. The dash pad was covering the Vin numbers, but she had assured me that they had checked it out, and had a Deluxe Marti Report. The car was missing the original Hood, Hood locks, and Brackets, and for what seemed without explanation, someone had filled the rear Quarter indentations. I seem to remember the car having an early April build date? It's not a Show car, But seemed to be a very respectable, and I would guess a somewhat dependable Daily driver, considering the show we attended was 200 miles away from the Oregon border.
