What do you think of this 1965 mustang

smv244 v2 · 09-28-2009, 11:18 PM

Straight 6

four speed

runs

and clean title
...

What do you guys think, I know the picture is hard to tell if its a bargain or not but do any of you guys have any advice on buying it, what to check and what not, and did I6s come with four speed transmissions? was it a option on the day of buying? And how much would you spend on it with that vage information and that picture I gave.
Thanks

It looks like it has potential.

Whats the asking price? I wold say that it may be worth about 3k.

Its hard to tell with out knowing more about it. Is the interior good?

Have you looked at the undercarriage for rust in the floor pans, and checked the trunk and quarter panels?

The I6 could have come with a 4 speed, but it was not very common at all. I wonder if it is a Sprint 200.

1500 is as high as i would go on it.

Around here a car like that with no drivetrian is worth 1500. Maybe 2500 is a better number than 3k.

Do you have more pictures or a link to the ad?

i am at about 1500-2000. depending on the interior. check the hood cowl for rust. they are bad about rusting and filling the floorboard with water.

Not bad, although it's a '66 (looking at the grille) not a '65

The 4-speed six is frikkin' rare. In 40 years, I have seen maybe eight of them. The downside to that is repair parts are hard if it needs work.

Your information is too vague by half. An accurate value really isn't possible. Because of that I wasn't going to post, but then I thought I'd hate to see you get burned if your knowledge of Mustangs is limited.

I'd be wary, that car looks pretty rough. It's awful high in the front/low in the back. The rear spring mounts could be in the trunk. Or there could be two transmissions stuffed back there. Who knows. If it's a real rust bucket it's only worth whatever you can get for the glass, the tranny and a few other odds and ends.
LOOK FOR RUST. Crawl under it and check where things bolt together. Check the floors. Check the framerails, especially in the back. Check the cowl by pouring water down the vent at the base of the wind shield and look for wetness in the interior, below the dashboard. Rust is a real deal breaker unless you can fix it yourself. If you were to pay to have a very rusty Mustang done up you'd better have very deep pockets. The amount of money is more than you'd pay for a NICE Mustang in the first place.

If you love projects and it's as tired as it looks $750-$1000. If it's a diamond in the rough $2500-$3000.

1500-2000 maybe even less in my area.

I paid 5500 for my 67 in 07. 67 I6, 3 speed manual, crappy paint, near perfect interior, good running engine.

Around here it would bring quite a bit because it isnt rusted in half. 65/66 rolling shell with 6 cylinder parts under it, well most I would go is around $800 with the usual rust. The usual rust that is popular in the states south of the 45th parallel.

Might be fun to drop an EFI 300 in it, then stuff a turbo on that, and see if I can get 35mpg from it with a modern OD trans.
