Up for sale is my 69 FST
I've had it for a little over two years and have done quite a bit to it to get it to this point. It's been a fun build to work on, but now I have another 45 I'd like get started on so time to move on from this one: Here is the build thread for it: 69 FST Spring Green partial restore - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/69-fst-spring-green-partial-restore.1294407/

Such a cool 40! GLWTS
 
You did fine work bringing this one back to life. GLWS!
 
@Mightymes if we buy this do we get first shot at the 45 when you go to sell that??

😁
 
Beautiful FST, in my favorite color too!
How difficult would it be to convert the column shift to floor shift?

Not very hard at all. I was actually going to do it and had all the parts from Georg at Valley Hybrids, but decided to keep the column shifter. You just don't see that much anymore.
 
I'm with @whitey45 on this one
I like the extra room on the hump, and it's also a theft deterrent, if by chance a thief can drive a clutch, it really baffles them with the column shift
 
I lowered the price the other day from 27,500 to 23,500 obo. Not sure why I forgot to mention that.
