There are no visible rips or tears and no appreciable wear on any upholstered surfaces. It features Pony trim, which looks stunning in a combination of blue and white. ![]() If we consider this Mustang purely as a tidy daily driver, its interior presents well. It seems that for potential buyers, this is a turnkey classic that is ready to be enjoyed. The owner doesn’t make outlandish low mileage claims with this classic, indicating that while the odometer shows 81,000 miles, it has rolled over. While the motor type is unclear, we know that this car runs and drives well and is referred to in the listing as an excellent daily driver.

Overall, first impressions of this Mustang are highly positive. The glass shows no evidence of chips or scratches, the trim is in good condition, and this Mustang retains its original hubcaps that are in excellent condition. If the Mustang is rust-free, that is a real bonus for potential buyers. There is no visible rust, and the owner mentions no issues on the underside in his listing.

It isn’t clear whether it has ever received any restoration work, but its overall condition is very acceptable for a survivor-grade car. There’s a lot to like about this two-owner Wimbledon White Mustang.
