In my corral I currently have a 71 and a 73 mach1s, the door handles for this car alone are 70 bux each. After rebuilding one completely, I would not offer this guy more than 400 bux, because you are going to needthe extra thousand tofigure ou why there are 2 starting selonoids on the passenger side engine compartment.

Just from the pics looks like it wont run first because of that. It probably does'nt run because someone tried to fix it.

Also since it looks like it had ben there a while, i would be curious of the frame itself.

The chevrolet steering wheel tells methis was someones project car, and those lower dents and brown spots are curious.

Without it running and seeing more wiring parts on the passenger side floor, I wouls so far have to say now 300 bux as a service to help clean up his yard.

I just went through ebay, an you can also check www.musclecartraderonline.com and you wil be able to see some much nicer cars that are the same, but they run.

400 bux is maximum I know the car sees cool because it is also close by, but a bit of a drive can save you money. That car wold need at least 8-10K to make it look like a nice car.

Let me know if you have questions I have rebuilt one completely.

P.S. you cannot buy a wirig harness for this car, unless some ne has marketed one in the last 5 years.

I am sure you could sell it on ebay for more then $400.

After restoring 3 entire autos 2 mustangs and 1 64 vette, i would hate to see you spend that much initially to get a fun project. It will cost way more that 1400 to may it road worthy.

Just want to look out for fellow stangers, and help them avoid the pitfals I had bumped into

Take the 1400 and buy something worth 1400.

I would say don't buy a $1400 Mustang

I only gave $1000 for my mustang and besides the fiberglass on the rear quarter it has no rust through spots. I would say do a bit more looking and you can find a better deal.

Like everyone else has said, Dont pay that much for it. We got mine for $4000 and it has no rust and is a numbers matching car.
