Description: I have been selling cheap cars and barn-finds on and off for many years. For 3/5 years now I've focused on any year Mustang, mostly 1979 thru 1993 Mustang convertibles. Also 1980-86 Ford trucks. A friend is retiring soon and I have the oppertunity to buy his business, property and inventory. The inventory is 15 to 20 complete 1965/1973 mustangs, a few dozen each; fenders, hoods, doors and numerious other parts... A "1954 Kaiser Darrin", 1968 (URL removed)c., couple old Lincons etc... My plans are to switch over to the above mentioned mustangs and trucks.(if he were younger he would be doing the same) The business has been in operation (in it's current location) since the mid-60's. The 5 tax lots are valued at well over $1,000,000. The property; two houses and two Retail/Automotive buildings and a fenced in gravel parking lot... I'm looking for working capitol to use as part of the down payment and 18 month of fixed cost. I do not restore cars nor do I run a repair shop. I will be selling OEM parts and specialty aftermarket accesories. My plans are also to collect newer complete power-trains while they are plentiful.
