a friend of a friend owns this mustang, he bought it off a buddy and has done nothing with it in 3 years, he is now willing to sell it to me for 2,500.00 ... I went to look at it yesterday, it started right up with a jump and a shot of starting fluid and sounded good, it is a numbers matching car but a michigan car. the worst things seem to be the hood and bumpers, there is some body rust, the interior is not to bad. my one buddy owned it a few years back and said with some new tires you could drive it while starting the rebuilding process. I know the mechanical side but no nothing about body work, i have seen that parts for this car are cheap.. any ideas if this car would be worth have a shop redo the body, i would stick my own hood and bumpers on and maybe a few things, oh and the trunck panel is shot, did not get a good look at the under side but am guessing it should be redone.. I will follow with picks but any idea what it would cost to get the body done and painted.. beatnic, would it be better to buy a redone car, or what about buying it for 2,500 and clean it up, redo as much as possible and selling it...
