I had bought mine sight unseen and had it shipped for $800 from Utah. For the price I paid, it could have been a lot worse and I still could have done ok.
There are probably some Pantera guys around northern Indiana that could look at it for you I am sure. You could probably contact a northern indana Ford/Mustang club and see if some one could look at it for a fee (some one outside the seller).
I have found by sitting down and searching obscure adds, one by one they pop up in the strangest places off the beaten path.
