Around the corner from me is what I believe is a 67 or 68 hard top mustang. I see it almost every day and it just sits there, rusting away. I want to rescue it, but it's in rough shape and I don't have much, if any experience working on cars.

Quick, talk me out of it before I do something stupid.

 

Quick go buy it before someone else has the same idea!

 

What are you waiting for?! Go pick that thing up!

 

But, you are in California....do they even rust there like they do here in the midwest?

 

Damn you guys, you aren't helping.

It isn't terrible but there's definitely some rust. I'll take some pictures in the next day or two and you all can give you your thoughts.

 

Ok, here she is. Odometer reads a bit over 68k, but it could be 168k

 

Crawl under it and look for big rust holes the body is just surface rust to me.And that is a 68 btw.

 

Is the body the sort of work a total novice could do? And what gives it away as a 68?

 

Straight six?

 

Side markers. 67's didn't have them. 68 was all about safety. LOL
