Default need advice pls

Hi, I am new to this forum and would like some advice on a 1968 mustang coupe I am thinking about buying. From what I am told it is rust free, new 5 L 302 long block from ford racing, rebuilt stock auto tranny, edilbrok intake, etc. The body itself is in great condition and need a paint job. The interior is in decent condition. It is priced at 7,400. Thanks for any thoughts/advice.

Especially the screwdriver, huh? What you need to do is take a digital camera with you when you go to look at the car. Take a ton of pictures of every aspect of the car from outside to engine to underneath to interior. Without that, we can't even give you a ballpark figure.

The price is in line with the description of the vehicle, but what one man says is the condition may not bea trueview of the condition. Be very aware of hidden rust spots.
