hey guys from the s197 side of the forum, anyway, driving home today i saw a old mustang for sale, i passed it then about 5 min later i decided to turn around to look at it, it was a 63 mustang. it wasin rough condition, needs some body work.so i come home and look upthe 63 online and see its a prototype. my question is how hard would it be to find parts for it, and whats the value of this car.

 

probably has a rough million dollar value

parts, there most likely are none

buy it, if its really a 63, or take pics at least so we can see

 

what do you mean?
its preaty beat up

 

pictures? if it really is a prototype i would assume its worth quite a bit of $ but i doubt it is...im thinking that the person selling it is just stupid and doesnt know what year his car is. ive seen it happen before, seriously.

 

i looked at the car, no way is it a 64. like i said, when i got home i looked up a 63 mustang, looks just like it. idk what to do, if its worth something and the seller dosent know i might pick it up, but if its a fake how do i find out, i cant exactly tell him that 63s are only prototypes.

 

if you could restore the original 63 mustang prototype. i bet you could get a LOT of money for it

did it look like one of these

 

well in that case go down there right now and buy it!!!!

thats easily a $300,000+ car if its real...

 

go back and take pics, how much does he want for it?

 

ill have my dad who lives 20 min away take pics tomorrow, but how can i tell if it is a real 63? are there any special markers, stamps,a specialvin, ect?

 

Brenden, the truth is that the odds are about 10 million to one that it's a real 1963 prototype. Ford didn't launch the Mustang to the public until April 1964. Yes, there were a few prototypes built, but nobody is that lucky to find one by the side of the road. It's a 65 or 66 that the seller has mislabled.

Give up the link that shows what a 63 Mustang looks like... which is like the one you saw....
