I am not sure which way I want to go with this stang. Right now, this is what I have:
1966 Mustang 4-speed
edlebrock intake manifold
4bbl holly carb
long tubes
aftermarket fan
no PS PB
MSD ignition
Red paint (decent condition)
good stock interior
Craiger rims (14in)
Radial TAs (245s in back, 205s in front)

I want this car to be worth a lot when I done so that is what I am basing it on. So on the poll, which do you think will be worth the most $$$ when its done???

Or if you have any other suggestions let me know

Aussie66Fastback

is it a fastback?

Soaring

Either way you do it, you will have more money into it than you can get for it immediately after you finish it. Not a real bright investment idea.

the best advice i can give you is to build it the way YOU want it to look and drive. if you only want it to make money than restore it back to original and youll get more for it later. if someone else comes to buy it and its built for you they arent gonna like it as much

Aussie66Fastback,
no its a coupe

Soaring,
I actually never told you how much I bought it for so how can you judge that I wont make any money off it? I can GAURANTEE you that I will make money off this car. And more than 2K. Not to be rude or anything but I hate it when people tell me i wont make any money off restoring mustangs. I have already done 3 and made $5000, $6000, $4500 so dont tell me I wont make any money. 2 of the last ones I have had people told me the same thing. Some even said I would lose moeny and I should just sell the car right then. Makes me laugh

n8rfastback,
I really am not looking to keep it. I just want to make money in a fun way. I have seen shelby clones on ebay and around that are going for a lot ($12K+). I could probably swap the aftermarket parts for stock parts and not lose any money but I could keep them if I went with the clone or the first option.

Value is just going to be what someone is going to pay for it. If there were two Mustangs for me to choose from with the exact same body, I'm going to pay more for the one witht he originial looking motor. Someone else though may want to pay more for a hopped up motor. It just depends. I'd say on a budget and trying to make a little money you'd be better off fixing a motor back to original looking condition.

unless its a shelby or a boss 429 do whatever you want to it

It's a coupe, they made millions of them, it will never be worth "alot", depending on what your idea of "alot" is.

thats the kind of answer I was looking for. So far it sounds like moving back to original condition will get me more money. How much do you think it would go for when its done?? (and I do a pretty good job, have gotten $12,000 for an auto 66 and $17,500 for a 65 GT coupe auto)

I am just looking for profit. Coupes will always give you the most profit for the amount of time spent and time for sale.
