But if you plan on selling it, you might as well sell it now and save yourself the trouble. But back to your question...I guess the quickest way to raise value in the car and be able to sell it is to have the motor in good running condition and get the body and interior looking nice. A lot of people buy mustangs because they're "their dream car" and don't care about the engine, just how it looks. I know this because some girl tried to offer $500 more for what I was buying because it was red. Luckily the guy still sold it to me.

 

Rudey, would you happen to still have the link to the ebay auction? If you type in "1966 Mustang" in the search field and check off the "ended auctions" check box on the lower left, you should be able to find it. Please post the link if you find it, as I would be curious for my own protection down the line on how it was advertised.....

 

Muggsy I've sent you a PM with the auction number

 

That's really a difficult question But if I'm not attached to this, I wonder if the purchase price and the repair costs (12.5+4.5=17) would have gotten me a better car to start with, like a fastback or a true GT. That's all.

 

Sorry to say this but it sounds to me that everytime you get into this car you will feel like a fool for being duped. This will put a real downer on your enjoyment of the car. You bought the thing to have fun and enjoy. I'm not sure that you will ever get that from this car. It may be best to be an honest seller, take a loss and live and learn.

p.s. I'm not in the market for a car.

 

Please, If you are going to sell the car, disclose all you know about the car now so the new buyer does not go through what you are. You know that the car is not worth the $$ U paid so you will have to take the hit and sell for what it is really worth. In my opinion, all mustangs that are still able to be fixed, be fixed. They do not make them anymore so it is up to us to rebuild what is out there instead of parting them all out and then there will be nothing left for the people that want to enter into the vintage Mustang game. We will all have to shell out $80,000.00 for a Mustang. In the end, it is up to U to do what is right for U. I hope you decide to take the loss and fix the car up the way U want it and enjoy it.
