Ok guys, I need help deciding whether this local 65 fastback project is worth $4800.
My dream car is a 67-68 fastback but with the prices these have been fetching as you all know are quickly becoming the car that only the rich can buy even in project status. I should have bought at as many as I could find 10-15 years ago!!!
This local ( i'm the southwest) car is an original T code, straight six, but has no motor or tranny. Rust is minimal but the car needs a complete strip down and paint, all glass is there, almost all the interior is there but needs total restoration. All original chrome is there but needs restoring. Car is pretty much complete and a roller.
One weird thing on this car is that the rear suspension is independent rear suspension but still drum brakes all around.
I had written before about this car ( on this forum) when it was on ebay ( it did not sell then) and I have to say that the rear suspension looks almost stock, I know if cannot be factory stock rear suspension but it is definitely not a modern rear suspension kit, whomever fabricated it did a real pro job or maybe it is a very early rear IRS kit? Not sure how long they have been producing IRS for this car.
Anyway, I know that I will probably not get another chance in quite a while, OR EVER to attain one of my dreams of having a pre- 70's fastback mustang and I just need to know if this is good deal or not. From the prices I've seen lately it seem like a good price and if the seller is desperate enough maybe flashing him $4k cash might make the sale. My thinking in my mind is that when all the 67-68 fastbacks restorables are completely all gone soon then these earlier fastbacks will follow in appreciation/value in the next 10 years +? I am thinking straight guys?
Please let me all know what you think.
thanks
