[sm=jawdrop.gif] Damn this guys' got ballz. Instead of asking "which is worth more" you might have asked "which can make me more money" or something like that. Anyway, thanks for the laugh.

 

The phrasing of your question is somewhat off-putting to me. If all you want to do is "make money" off these cars, then do what you want. You've clearly got a proven track record; so why ask our opinion? Just make another candyapple red coupe and sell it for all you can get.

And while I'm at it, look up "judge," why don't you? Tell me what Soaring said that was judgemental in the least. You can't jump into a forum and label anyone that disagrees with you as "judging."

 

true. but dont those both go hand in hand considering they each will be about the same amount of money to do

 

Yea all I want to do is make money so my question is which of those 3 options would sell for the most considering all three would be about an equal amount of money to do.

judge is a probably the wrong word to use but you get my point. I dont want people to "jump to conclusions?" without knowing all the info.

 

if it were a fastback, i'd say do the gt350 replica thing. IMO for a coupe, just make it neat and tidy using what you've already got.

tidying up a car to make money is not the same thing as restoring it...what the other guys are suggesting is that you are unlikely to make money restoring anything but a genuine boss or shelby.

what actually needs to be done to it?

 

all it really needs is a few front parts (headlight buckets, bumper brackets, etc.) and paint. it has an excellent drivetrain. It also needs a little bit of electrical work but that doesnt require any money.

To tell you the truth, it is possible and likely to make money off a boss or shelby but find me one and Ill do it. these coupes are everywhere like someone else said. People also WANT them. people that dont know chit about them want them. Those are my buyers. Coupes are the easiest way to make money and easiest to sell and buy. I can buy one for cheap ($2000-$5000) fix up and sell for $12K and do it fast. $12K isnt that much money to spend on a car. I have a 66 GT convert right now and it will be a lot harder to sell even though I will still probably make money off it. Who is going to buy a $150,000 car? Rich *** people. there arnt too many rich *** people that want to give out that much money for a classic car. But anyone can give out 12K for a car. Basically I am saying that coupes are very easy to sell and make moeny off of. Even if they are no optioned or rare cars. And thats all I want to do.

Anyways, I can probably switch out the aftermarket parts, sell them, and get original parts without losing any money. and an original car will probably sell more than a rodded car.

 

then honestly why are u even asking? if u kow ur gonna make a profit and uve been scanning ebay auctions?

 

I cant argue with your logic...you've found a target market and it works for you.

what you are talking about is not restoration. Its pretty simple. If you restore a 67 Coupe, you will be out of pocket.

Do what you do and you can make money...also simple if you get the right car to start with.

As far as I can tell, most of the guys here are modding or restoring for their own pleasure. They will rarely recoup the money and dont give a ****. I'm one of em.

 

I agree. I know I am going to make a profit Im just wondering which route will give me the most profit. i do this as a hobby. I know quite a lot about these mustangs and I like to make money off a few and keep others. Right now I have an 87 GT 5.0 that I am modding and a 66 mustang gt convert 4speed restored that I probably wont sell for awhile at least. This is just another form of making money that I like to do.
BTW Im 17 years old and dont have all the moeny in the world to keep them all. but I do make a lot of money off these.

 

thats explains the attitude earlier in your post
