Well, the days of me company leasing brand new GTs with free insurance are over, and now I am looking to buy a car...
(This is basically the same post I made in the tech forum, but decided to put it here as well.)
I have been seriously looking at buying a classic Mustang, as it is in all honesty my dream car. My predicament is that I would love to have a big block (such as the 429,) but there is absolutely no way I could afford a Boss 9, ect. While looking on eBay I came accross this:
69 Mustang with 429 CJ
It looks to be exactly what I want: A regular Mustang with the 429 CJ put in it. The exterior is acceptable, even tho I would eventually repaint it in something along the lines of Calypso Coral or Grabber Orange. The interior is, in my mind, pretty bad, but I would have no problem cleaning up and redoing that. Then I'd look to get some Mag 500s on it and an explorer rear end.
And my thinking is, if I get this, and start working on it and realize I want something newer/more practical, I could always sell it for at least what I got it for.
Does this sound like a good plan to you people?
Also, does that look like a 429 under the hood, cause it really doesn't look like it to me. But as the auction says, "Seller pdniseus assumes full responsibility for the content of this listing and the item offered." And a 302 where a 429 is supposed to be isn't going to fool anyone so I hope I'd be safe there.
