What to look for on a 1964–1973 Mustang

  • Shock tower rust — universal, affects structural integrity
  • Torque box rot at the rear leaf-spring mounts
  • Cowl rust beneath windshield (drains clog with leaves)
  • Quarter panel rust above wheel arches and behind rear wheels
  • Shelby provenance verification — fakes / clones common; insist on SAAC registry confirmation
  • Date-coded glass + sheet metal matching for high-value cars
