I've got a $6000 question for you classic guys. I was cruisin down the street the other day and I noticed a respectfully restored Mach 1 Mustang so i figured "ah what the hell" and got out to look at it. Turns out its a 1973 mustang mach 1 which appears to be fully restored complete with ram air and a yellow paint job with black stripes. The thing that really got me was the price, only $6k, and from my experience that was rather cheap for a full resto car. Anyway I started to research this car only to find out that it pretty much sucked. The car came with 3 optional engines in 73' which included a really weak V6, and 2 351c options. One of the 351's is a 2 barrel carb which hardly pushed 200 horse and the other one is a 4 barrel carb which made a somewhat respectable 266 horse. If I purchased this car it would not necessarily be to "go fast" (I have a 97' Cobra for that), it would be to own a respectable show car that is decently quick (I refuse to drive a sports car that doesn't run 14s). So here's the $6000 question; is this car worth a crap if it has the 4 barrel carb. NADA value on this car puts it at $9k, of course its only worth that much to a collector, making it difficult to buy this car for resale. My next question is how do I check the vin# against the engine code to find out how original it is. The seller claims that the car is original. Thnx for any input you have.
