Neighbour has a 71 red convertible should I have a look at it?
Got very excited today when finding out that a neighbour here in Spain had a mustang in his garage that I have never seen before, but then I found out it was a 71 red convertible and I want a 65-69 mustang. Is there any point in having a good look at it to know what to look for in the mustang I buy?
I think its fugly but is it worth anything? Shall I buy it and sell it on?

1st its a Mustang, 2nd its a drop top, of course its worth something.
Here in the states a good condition 71-73 vert are going for 15K to 25K. Not sure what that is in Euro's
Find out what size engine it has. 351c 4V are worth the most.
How many can there be in Europe it must be 1 of the rarest cars there.

It is indeed very rare. On the most popular european car sales site there are only 3 all between 12 and 25k euros.
Maybe Ill give him 5k.
