[QUOTE="bam, post: 16421379, member: 29001"] I appreciate the information and input from all of you. And thanks to John (jmsa540) for a good conversation about these cars. Going to pass on this car. No part of "shady eBay Frankenstein" is typically appealing to me. The BIN caught my eye, and the paint really kept me coming back and led to me contacting this guy. The proposition of $7k paint + a few grand worth of mods for $10k... especially having been out of the Mustang game for about 10 years, relatively unfamiliar with the market, and never having bought a Cobra... made some good sense. Paint is one of the big things for me as I look for these cars, because it's pretty unlikely I'll ever want to shell out to repaint a panel. Figured, that's the tough part out of the way- mechanical stuff is more familiar and manageable. The hypothetical was, 'would I be interested in a 100k Mystic with mods, work done by a practiced Mustang guy and a recent full repaint for $9/10k?' Honestly, yeah, kind of. But that's me getting lost in details, and the reality is I've never had a lot of honest faith in this car, or seller. Despite quick response times, he didn't really give me adequate answers to my requests, and that turned me off as much as/ more than anything else. Right after I put this thread up, I asked him if he'd grab a video for me of some key stuff, and it's been radio silence since. Could be a great car, might be a great dude... who am I to say? But everything together was too many compromises. No. I appreciate the response- this is absolutely relevant. My working theory is that if it's a reasonable day's drive away, I'll fly out to it. Meaning I'd be shipping this car sight unseen. Thanks for the perspective. Back on track with some more straightforward cars. [/QUOTE]
