Ok, which one would you choose?
ok I am back again and found a couple more possible Mustangs in my area to buy!
So which one would you people get? I am looking for a (in the future with new parts) LOUD/strong/fast/dark colored mustang to drive to school and back and maybe once inawhile to work. All locations I will be driving to and from are less then 8 miles from my house.
1966 Green! - http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/269214875.html
(?) White! - http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/269637951.html
1966 Red! - http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/car/269918084.html
1967 Light Blue! - http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/269941567.html
So tell me what you guys think and what you would buy and what you think I should buy as an 18 year old who wants a dark mustang that is loud and fast. I also like black interiors.
THANKS again!

RE: Ok, which one would you choose?
i'd get more information about the light blue 67, here is my reasoning:
the green one was converted from a manual to an automatic. there is no detail about the brakes and any changes. If they converted from a manual and didn't take the time to either move to power brakes with a booster or beef up the brakes, you'll find stopping with an automatic is dangerous at the least. Since you can't rely on the transmission to help you slow down as much, better brakes or braking power is a must.
the white one is ready to be restored. to me, that means it needs work to be a driven car. most likely a good deal of work and time invested. maybe not, but usually when you see the words "ready to be restored" it isn't lying.
the red one, the part about the small electric problem... How many people here have ever heard of a small electrical problem. I know some people may be wizs at diagnosing and resolving electric problems, but in general they are a headache and very time consuming. You could always just replace the harness with a painless harness, but you just kicked up the price a bit.
the blue one doesn't say much, so i'd say of those 4 it would be the one worth investigating the most.
just my thoughts.

the white one is a 66 i believe, or 65 GT
you wat a V8 with dark exterior and block interior, the green one looks good, not bad for the price either, the red one is double that and nothig better then the green

If the light blue 67 is a v8, that one no question is best. If its a 6, id either go green or red, probably red and take care of the electric issue ASAP before you have to live with it....

I'd say, since the cars are so close to you. Take a drive out to look at them all. Talk to the owners, alot. Look at the cars, and get a feel for which car is in the best shape. The least rust, and less Mods would be a biggie for me. JMHO
