Personally, after owning a 72 for a number of years, I was quite happy
with it. Beat the heck out of Mustang IIs for looks, ran like a champ
with power to spare according to the cop who clocked me :0) and wrote
me :0(.

But, mine was only 2 years old when I got it and it was in excellent
shape.

This one I would pass on. There are too many better ones available
that others have already put the money into.
