Hi all! I'm new to Mustangs, but a 1966 has always been my dream car. I'm currently enlisted in the Army National Guard and have a bonus coming to me before I deploy to the Middle East in 2011. I was planning on buying a car with part of this bonus and I think I want to finally get a classic Mustang. I'm very picky so I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to between '65 and '67, and my price limit is $6k. I've been finding some nice looking ones for ~$4500 around my area and once my bonus comes in next month or so, I want to start actually physically looking at and test driving cars. Now, thought I don't know alot about Mustangs, I know enough to not expect a perfect Mustang in my price range, but I'm pretty sure from what I see that I can get a pretty nice one for that. My main concern is it being drivable and reliable, as this'll be a daily driver. My father's against the idea of me getting a classic Mustang, but then again he's very biased when it comes to cars. Do any of you guys use a '60s Mustang as your daily driver? Is there any reason why one wouldn't be a reliable car if it's in good shape and taken care of? And finally, when I do go looking at them, what kind of things should I look for? In what areas should I look for rust damage?
