Default need opinions on this 67

Im loking at this 67 as a possible buy. I love the looks of the 67's and think this one is pretty good. The thing is... I dont know much about classics so I was hoping some of you who were more experienced could tell me if this seems like a decent deal.

$4000 or best offer. I plan to pull the motor anyways and drop in a V8, restore and customize myself. There is very little rust underneath and on the frame, but a little surface rust on places like the trunk and hood. The V6 will be pulled and sold separately.

So does this seem like a decent offer to you guys?

I just sold a 67 Cougar that was in about the same shape but ran really good and was able to only get 2500 for it. so Yeah that is to much.

Ok so this mustang is on Craigslist. It is sounding like a good deal now because he said he would include the 302 and tranny.

thanks guys... yeah, its in OK condition and zero bondo. That's spray paint to keep the areas from rusting. I also have a lead on a nice fastback which I would prefer but its obviously going to cost me a bit more.

So, good deal with the motor and tranny included?

First off, that 67 is overpriced quite a bit. I paid 5000 for a running v8 car with hardly any rust and a pretty nice paint job. really, the only thing that needed work was the interior. You are gonna have to pay an arm, a leg, and your firstborn for a fastback these days. Unless you have lots of money to blow, I would get a coupe (they look better anyways IMO). Even with a 302 and tranny, if you want a V8 in the end, get a v8 car to start with. To do a V8 to I6 conversion, you need a new suspension, rear end, axles, motor mounts, etc. You will end up spending more time and money, so it is worth it to just start with a V8 anyways. I am pretty dang sure I could find a V8 car in the same shape for CHEAPER then that car is.

I actually saw a fastback in Phoenix on Craigslist. It was 5700 but it had rust all over. ninteen66mustang is right, it would be alot easier to buy a V8 mustang and not do the conversion.
