I just recently found a listing for a 1970 Mustang Coupe (I believe it's the coupe model) and I've always wanted to drive a classic muscle car, but it's in pretty rough shape. The author of the post said it runs but the interior is rusty and I assume the trunk is worse. This doesn't bother me though because my goal has always been to buy an older classic and fix it up so I can learn through the process.
The point is, they're asking $2500 for it and I don't know if that's a good deal or not for a project car (even if it is a mustang) because I've never really done this before.
Another thing I was curious about is if anyone here could give me a rough estimate of what it will take to fix it up to decent shape. It will need interior door panels, carpeting and flooring done (however that works), the front bumper is missing some of the accessories like the grill and lights and such, and there is a possibility I might have to weld some new panels on if the rust is bad enough. The paint job is just a flat black that looks fine for now but I'll probably redo later, and the engine is going to be a part by part replacement project so I'm not looking for estimates on that either.
I'm new to this so any advice you have is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
