Hey guys i'm thinking about buying this 67 mustang fasback with front end damage too the driver side engine bay theshock tower has also been pushed back a little bit abouthow much should the average shop charge to fix this? the rest of the car is all there and in great condition. About how much do you think itsworth in this condition to? i beleive this car had been restored and then was hit while it was parked. hes selling it with out he engine and trans

 

Then you had better get it for a song, because the whole left front side has to be replaced. Big money. And since it has no motor or tranny, it is what we used to call totaled. Advice from this old man is to run, not walk away. There is no telling what damage was done to the frame rails, etc. But, if you a brave soul, and have a lot of experience in automobile body restoration with all the welding and such tools and experiencwe, then if you can get it for a song.......go for it.

 

agreed, u can find shells for decent price all around that dont look like that[:'(]

 

I mostly agree, but seeing that it is a 67' FB (which seems to be the most desirable model) I might have a body/frame man look at it. Affordable shells in most models are readily available but maybe not for a 67' FB.

Edit: Anyone know if the front clip off any 67/68 will fit on this car?

 

It's not that bad. You can buy all those pieces "new" from NPD.

 

it will probably be about 1500$ to fix the damage at least

 

at the least if the rest of the car really IS in great shape it would be a good parts car for another shell.

that being said, i'd hate to see a classic stang crushed

 

you could clip literally drill out all the spot welds off of the frame rails etc and take a coupe front end then weld it all back together

althought that car would be a good canidate for a full front end conversion using a mustang 2 setup since is frugged up already

 

yeeah.....it would make for some good before and after pictures....

its not like it cant be fixed.....it definitely can, just need the tools and know how, or get someone to do it.

 

if you can do the work yourself then i'd say its worth it, if it would all be done by a shop i would imagine you can find one that hasnt been cracked up that would save u money in the long run
