ok so I have a 66 v8 im selling and Im looking at a 68 v8, i have ssbc front disc brakes for the 66, will they fit on the 68? does 68 have the same bumpsteer problems the 66s do? how much does a 68 stock c code cloupe weigh? and what is the value of one restored? also any advise for buying, what warnings to look for, etc. he claims all orgininal numbers mach 124 k original miles on ariginal motor, minimal rust, and straight. thanks any help is apriciated?

how much is minor vs. bad. I don't plan on restoring for ten+ years. but I can weld and patch myself.

USMCrebel

well minor is like surface rust, bad is holy **** my foot went throught the floorboard......all of that stuff has drop in replacements now, www.mustangsunlimited.com, i think a full replacement floorboard is like 498.00

Yeah, my '71 pretty much came home in a box...it had no floorboards left...rusted out EVERYWHERE....took 2.5 years of working on it everyday to bring it back to her beautiful condition.

its all about how much work you put into it, the more you put the more you get attached.

Why get rid of the 66 you already have it , look at the big picture you long term

it needs more work than it is worth, and i need a car to drive not restore. I dont have the time ormoney to finish it.
i am just looking at the possibility of a driver mustang, something unmolested to restore in a few years, but im not rushing into it. im also looking at an accord. but its just not the same.

what about bump steer, didn't ford rework the suspension geometry in 67/68?
