I found a car that's been sitting for 20 years that is for sale. It's got 87k miles on it. It needs to be restored. The owner says it runs but I'd definitely rebuild the engine. It's a 390 GT, 4 speed, standard interior, highland green, 3.25 rear. It definitely needs the interior done over (i have pics to show that). It also needs slight body work. The floors need patching and the cowl needs fixing/replacing. I'm figuring about $15k on top of the purchase price would make this a really nice "bullitt" car.
I've read a lot recently about how the 390, 4 speed, highland green fastbacks are getting expensive. Do you think I'd be better off looking for one that someone has already put money into or should I pick up this one and restore it over the next few (2-4) years?
here are some photos...
