Hey all,
I came across this board while sitting in study hall today, I'm a new driver, and been looking around for a classic mustang for some time now. Most likely 65-69

I'm not looking to push past 3 thousand dollars or so, think I'd have any luck? I'm certainly not looking for a mint, trophy car, but something that'll get me from point A to B...


thanks in advance


Cameron

Thanks a million, I cant access the links in school, I'll check them out once I get home

yea, for that little money you can certainly get a classic mustang, but it'll (likely) require some work.

Try looking at craigslist as well. That's where i got mine.

They are both nice but I would buy anything but a fastback sorry they were my first love.


Welcome to the site man

You'd have a very hard time finding a fastback under 3K. I saw one the other day that was a rusted out shell with no drivetrain, and very little interior advertised as a "parts car" for 3K.

we bought our 1967 fastback in perfect driving condition and not a spec of rust, full interior, and everything, only needed paint.. paid $5,000 for it

and +1 to craigslist.. thats where i bought my 5.0

[Vinyl66]

i bought mine for $800

Yeah I know this thats why I dont have one. When I was in the market for a Mustang I found a rusted out no motor automatic 70 Mach1 for 3500 I almost bought it but I wouldnt be driving it right now so im glad I didnt I would have ran out of money long ago.


My dad already has the restoration of the familly going right now anyway 70 Boss 302 Drag Pack 4.30 car with shaker close ratio 4 speed. I cant wait untill its done its going to be such a bad ass car Wimbledon White

If that was in the last 4-5 years that was a hell of a deal.

Sounds awesome. There's a guy that lives about an hour from me that is pretty well nationally known for restoring classic Mustangs. He has 3 Boss 429 cars setting out at his shop that he doesn't have time for. I think I've about got him talked into selling me one

[zers]

You should also convince him to sell one to your good ol' friend zers

Damn sweet what year Boss 9's are they and how bad of shape



I will post some pics of our restoration in the next couple days I always just talk about my 86 on here and BS forgeting about the other stang that we got a the body shop. Its in full primer right now the motor is completly done its in our garage right now on a stand in plastic. It taunts me every time I walk in I just wanna hear that soild lifter motor running.

Thanks for all the input fellas, I think I'm going to be a regular here from now on...I still haven't seen the links, the computer went down before I got home yesterday, go figure eh?

There's a 66', 289, 4 speed (I believe) for sale down the road from me. It could use a little body work, some sanding here and there, and maybe a new roof interior, the engine, trani, and brakes are all new, so it's certainly not original..It even needs some new chrome. My opinion being, let me buy the thing, I'll fix it up, and take care of it, Verses some YO YO who has the money, buying and wrecking the car in a month..becuase we all know how some guys are.

Its been for sale, 7 and a half months, and the guy wont come down past 8 thousand...kind of stiff if you ask me..He thinks its some sort of trophy car


How much are the ones on ebay, location, and all that, thanks guys


btw, I'm cameron, 16 years old, and down in connecticut


I like long walks on the beach, the oce...I mean..uh hi

[CR70fastback]

Hey Good luck I got my 70 when I was 16 had it 4 years now one of the most awsome things I have ever done in life. Don't get stuck in the 60's 1970 was a good year too. HAHA

Take a look at it I bought it for $8000 and have put about $2000 in it over the last 4 years

[69fastback]

I don't want to talk about how much money I have spent between the two of mine

[nba1341]

ive spent almost as much money on mine as i purchased it for


after my new paint job i will probably have spent more on it then purchase price EKKKK
