History
I purchased 'Charlotte' sight unseen in 2000, as a restorer. I had always wanted an early fastback Mustang, as they are the original muscle car. This one especially appealed to me as it is an 'A'code (4 barrel carb) car with no power options, a 4-speed gearbox and disc brakes.
The restoration took the best part of 5 years and involved 2 interstate moves but the end result has been many years of cruising pleasure with friends and family - and very few problems in that time.
