Very nice! Back in the late 70’s early 80’s my folks had a 1966 Mustang Convertible. It was a dealer model, so it had everything on it: 289 V-8 with dual exhausts, four barrel carb, fog lights, pony interior, upgrades (wood trim) on steering wheel, center console, door panels, instrumentation , 8-track tape deck, etc. It too was bright red with a black top and interior. My folks offered to sell it to me for $5000, but I was building a house and getting married in 1983, so I asked them to wait until we got back on our feet. My mother (bless her heart) sold it to some guy who noticed it in a parking lot for $4500. Thanks mom and dad. It was worth far more back then. Today, well you know what yours is worth. I still have my first brand new car, my 1975 280 Z. It is also in mint condition but original except for paint. Gotta love these old girls….

So, they offered it to you for $500 more than they sold it for! Tough parents. My Dad would have done the same thing. :))
