What can I get

[ks32561]

If I have about $5-6000 to spend in what condition do you think I could find a classic mustang. And in that condition could I get it in good working order and looking good with $3000 dollars to fix it. Thanks alot im hoping I can find an older mustang.

where are you? Location makes a big difference.

Also consider body condition over running condition. Body work is generally more expensive to fix than a rough running engine. 2K on body work goes really quick which will probably rebuild a 302 three times or so. Area really determines what condition and how much people are asking for their cars and also what year you are looking for. I think you can get a decent 68 with some room for parts as an average guess of their value.

yeah id have to agree sic they had one for sale down here in fl for 3gs and it didnt look that bad it had some rust bubles which can only mean anyones guees but the car ran good and drove good. but this was also before gone in 60 secs but that car is long been sold by now. all i can say do is look for a long time and find something u will be happy with and look hard.

I live in FL, but I might look in other drier places. I have heard arkansas is a good place to look. There was this one guy who lived by me with an old falcon which I wanted but he sold it.

5 to 6 grand will put you in a nice 65/66. Be patient as believe it or not some people get "burned" out after doing the "show car" thing for a year or two. Then they are off to Harley's or heaven forbid Chevrolet's.

Take your time and you will find a good ride.
