I would encourage any potential buyers to check out the legal situation thoroughly before doing anything that might cause them grief - not sure of the legal situation if you tried to bring it into the UK, for example.

What's that week in the background too? Looks a bit like an American Racing Torq-Thrust but not with that spinner on it.

Good point. In Germany it is only a "pile of spares" without any legal restrictions because it's not assembled and complete.

Except of barrels and the system (in terms of rifles) can they be sold without restrictions. Barrels have to be drilled 6 times in cal. diameter, welded (closed) in one end and on the opposite side has to be a fixed steel bolt that goes thru the barrel (welded from outside so it can't be removed).
The System is critical too: you need a Gun license for buying it - otherwise it has to be cutted or welded to make it in a irreversible way non functional. If "destroyed" that way - it can be sold without restrictions.
Looking at the piles of demobbed military Arms sold at Ciney (Belgium) the regulations are in many EC countries quite similar: the functional "key" parts are the critical ones.

The wheel belongs to my Garage colleague Milos - he has a "Frog Green Metallic" classic Mustang. :D

I think it's a old VW colour from about 1974. - You can like it or not... :lol:

Nice! - It's always good to have a "Plan B" in the garage. :mrgreen:

Hmmm - is the grill original?

I had once a '69 HT Coupe but never finished that project.
The problem is to get spares for the 1969/70 Mustang types. It's a sort of "interim-generation" and you can't get f. ex. new doors or replacement panels (door skins) etc.
1964 1/2 up to '68 incl. is no problem at all. Same thing with '71-'73.

Have a relaxed weekend,

Joakim

PS: We had last Sunday some nice Mustangs in place: See: http://www.steel-toys.com/KB15
