I don't know if its just me, but I have had terrible luck finding a mustang this past month. I have 20k to spend and I'm just looking for a nice 65-68 fastback thats nice and solid. Getting very frustrated over here

Take it slow!!

I know it takes time to save up 20k but take your time and look around at car show, ebay, and the different forums and you'll be surprised at what you can find.

How many have you bought and sold in the last two years? It seams as if you change cars very often.

I thought everyone was crazy for selling these junkers for so much money. I guess I'm the crazy one for selling my cars too cheap. I am SERIOUSLY regretting the sale of my last 66 now. I just looked at a 65 mustang that was solid, but needed EVERYTHING for 13k. I sold my seriously built complete driver 66 gt350 clone for 13,500

The problem is this is like the commodities market as people buy just to resale this drives up the price I would appear that you have milked your area. You should not complain you have done this to your self.

Why them ole Fastbacks are a dime a dozen around where I live. Can't hardly give 'em away. Lots a times people give 'em away to guys just to haul 'em off to the crusher. There's two or three sittin' on every street corner. Get tired of lookin' at 'em myself. Be glad when they're all gone.

Seriously, they're what everyone wants so the prices keep climbing. Good luck with finding one.

I saw what looks to be an original, unrestored California Special under a carport yesterday. No for sale sign, but you never know if they're willing to sale or not, especially with gas prices what they are now.

I have a soft spot for the C/S. No way can I afford another mustang but if grandma is tired of putting gas in the old clunker . . .

Looked at it again today, I was mistaken, I know the car. It's a road race piece. Buds wheels, suspension mods, 351c, roll cage, Mopar hood scoop. He built it to run at Hallet I believe. He used to live somewhere else, now I've found where he moved to. When I visited him at his old place, he showed me an Autolite 1x4 carb he was taking to the Tulsa Shelby meet to sell.
