Ivy Glow 1972 Mustang notchback owned by Zak from Seattle, Washington. It has the original 351ci-2V engine and an automatic transmission. Zak tells us, "I bought this car when I was 15 years old in May of 2012 when I didn't even have my drivers permit. We found it just up the street from where I live. It was sitting outside under a car cover for five years. The
owner was offering $1,500. It was not running at the time. The car only needed a new set of tires, new fluids, fuel pump, battery, windshield wipers and a rebuilt carburetor. Cosmetically the car just needed a wash, wax and vacuuming. Other then that, the interior and exterior are virtually untouched since purchased. I later painted the vinyl roof and put a seal around the sunroof. The sunroof and baby moon rims were already put on when I bought the car. The car has the original paint (never repainted), factory A/C, shop manuals, owners manual, wiring diagram, documentation, spare tire, original hub caps (not currently installed), and original AM radio (not currently installed). I am currently a member of Pacific Cascade Mustang Club since February of 2013. The car is great and I love to drive it when the weather is good!"
