$300 for a 68 hardtop w/mexican block (otherwise all original). Totally rust free, straight, and running Arizona car. Very good interior, never been hit, has all original sheet metal. It has 300K miles when my dad bought it in 1993. I bought it from him in about '98 and it is now the Mustang in the cardomain link in my signature.
Ahhh, so that's your 68 I'm using as my screen saver the past week, great job on it, really decent ride.
Been enjoying the posts every few days when I check them out. Yea "65Misstress" , those little old ladies can give a great deal on a car I know,lol.
My recent: 68 coupe I6 I bought about 6-7 weeks ago, Nevada car, basically rust free and very solid. 1-10 car is an 8.
Picked it up for $3,600. ,I live in N.Y. and guy here bought it off e-bay a year or so ago so only 1-2 years here. It's my daily driver now till the salt trucks hit the roads. Will post a few pics of it soon. Got a great deal for what's out there and the prices their asking, even for an I6. So far I added up at least 2K in new parts not counting the new paint and new interior someone recently put in. After 30 years I thought it's about time I got myself in one again, even if it's an I6. Kinda surprised at all the compliments all sorts of people give when I'm out w/ it.
Others I've had in "the old days":
66 Chevelle SS, L88 hood, 350, 300 HP vette motor $350.oo
78 Trans Am SE, L88 hood, about $650.oo (had to rebuild uni body, one solid car when finished)
67 Fastback, 289 auto, about $500.oo (rusted bad, used for parts)
68 Fastback, I6, 3 speed about $650.oo (dropped the 67 289 into)
66 Coupe, excellent cond, 289 auto $350.oo (guy sold it because he didn't like the color , orange / black vinyl top/ black int.)
65 Coupe, 289 3 speed, about $400.oo
66 Galaxie Custom 500, 352 auto 4 door, (graduation gift)
