good ol fashion "what's it worth" thread w/pics. *Dialup beware*

[Bandit72]

just to make this short and sweet...my brother has always wanted a 60's mustang (i think he's adopted) but anyway i recently found a pair of factory 289 4-speed mustangs, i'm not too sure of the year, but i know they are 60's coupes...one would be more of a parts car and the other seems really nice and mostly complete. The complete one has very solid floors, trunk, and rockers, but looks like the drivers quarter panel was filled with bondo at on time. Both cars are missing the intake and carbs off the engines but all of the 4 speed stuff is there. The 2nd car as i say would be more of a parts car so i didn't check it out near as good as the first, did notice that it has alot of chrome still intact and doesn't seem "too" rusty but is rough to say the least. between the 2 cars there are all of the interior and body parts, and i have plenty of ford guys to help me get an intake and carb for it.

Now to the reason i stopped to ask about the cars any way...in the middle of the mess of wrecked trucks and such..there is a 72 Dodge Charger, this car is very plane-jain and would be more of a parts car, the only thing the charger has going for it is it has a console and shifter. It is a 318 car with engine and tranny still intact. Besides the front, teh car seems really straight and rust free (front was wrecked in teh 80's) It has all of it's chrome trim including vinyl top trim, and near mint tail lights. The car has all of the dash stuff i need to put my dash back together also.

The guy is wanting to sell them whole so i can't just buy the parts i need and leave. He told me to make an offer on them and get back to him...so what do you think i should offer?

i'm sure your all getting tired of "whats it worth" threads, but i dont' have the slightest idea.


thanks

last pics, parts stang

WOW! none of those cars are worth anything but parts. Maybe $500 for the Charger if the passenger mirror, console are good. What the heck is all the dust from on  the Stang?

[Bandit72]

the charger and one of the stangs was only intended for parts.... the pics i got don't do that blue stang jusice....it is actually a pretty decent looking car....all the dust is from sitting in a barn for 20+ years....

$500 for all 3.     Rustangs are a dime a dozen...

I hate to shoot you down, but they are worth way more than that.  If any of the Mustangs are K codes (289 HP), then you have a good find.  In rough shape, like the mustang parts car, a K-code would bring $3000-5000, more if it was a fastback and even more if it was a convertible.  If it is a bit nicer, the price goes up considerably.  Mint K code coupes can bring $25000-30000 at auction.  Most K codes were GTs, so if any were GTs, check them over carefully.  If it is just an a or c code mustang, most of them bring $1000-2000 in that shape.  The Charger is rough, but it is worth at least $500 if parted out correctly......

2 68 stangs and a petty blue 72-MATT

[dpm68]

Actully those 'stangs aren't 68s at all - they are at least '65s if not 64, which of course would even make it (them) more desireable to ford fans. Any 4v first or second year pony will fetch some good cash when done up right - especially a K-Code/4 spd. one. I say offer him 2 grand or so for the whole schmear, but be prepared to pay more. If you can haul all three of them out of there for 2k, then you probably have a good deal on your hands and one happy (foster) brother. Good luck.- -

As for early mustangs, I prefer the very rare '64 Fastback. We had one at a carshow in Quesnel, very nice!

[Nupe]

That 72 looks like it has plenty of good parts.  Especially that passenger mirror.   

Call me crazy, but it looks to also have some decent body parts also.

well i got the charger....guy wouldn't part with the stangs after all....paid $400. Going to get it this summer. The interior has afew good peices left, most of them are very "chalky" and dry rotted though. quarters are excellent, all the vinyl top trim is there, all in all very little rust.

Hardly a day goes by that I don't see a first gen Mustang somewhere either driving, roadside, in a parking lot, etc. that looks "decent." They're everywhere.

i'm not sure quite yet...at first it was gettiing parted out asap, but now i'm thinking of holding onto it for awhile and maybe slowly getting the parts together to fix it, rebuild the 318 and make a daily driver out of it....
