I've been in the market for a classic mustang for awile now... and I want something to restomod. I don't want to ruin something that is rare, but if I got something rare that somebody else hacked I wouldn't mind.
Now yesterday I looked at a 65 GT with a 4 speed toploader and Hi-Po 289. It wasn't the stock engine or tranny so the numberswouldn't match. The interior looked it's age but wasn't horrible. It had a roll bar in the back, racing seats, mag wheels, disc brakes (stock) koni shocks. The windshield is cracked, there are some dents, some chipped paint with rust showing, and a bad rust spot in the floor so that your heel goes through the floor a bit when you depress the clutch.
I can weld and all of that, I plan on getting a new paint job and probably new everything else, but I could take it out on the weekends in the mean time.
The guy is asking $3,200 I am definately willing to pay that for the car, but what do you guys think? I've jumped on cars before and regretted it later, I've wanted an old mustang forever so I want to do it right and this is the perfect place for advice. Opinions?
