I was checking out the "for sale" board at my work today and saw a 1966 Stang for sale. It's a V6, and it looked good from the pic. Details say 51k on engine rebuild and runs great...just needs some minor repairs. Does 1500.00 sound reasonable? If so, what are some good questions to ask this guy when I call him up to talk about it? I am not the most mechanicly inclined person in the world. I know the car is 41 years old and not to expect much for 1500.00, but it would be nice to own a piece of history to tinker with on the weekends.

 

that's a rarest mustang in the world

wow a 66 mustang with a V6... damn... who'd a thunk it

 

you mean inline 6 id take it to a olde mechainc and let them look it over see what they say

 

Unless he has done some kind of mods, it should have a inline 6.
Ask him if there is any rust...then dont believe him.

When you look at the car, wear old clothes.
Get under that thing and look at the floor where the drivers and passengers feet go.
If there are patches or rust holes...back away slowly and say...umm..no thanks.
Dont just take a quick look like I did when I bought mine...look hard...poke around.
When I bought my car, there was no visable rust...I even boasted about it here on this very forum.
2 weeks ago I began removing all the patch work others had done to the car....my car looks like a flintstones car now....
If there is rust in the floor pans, that means water is getting in...most likely through the cowl vents.
As I have found out, this repair requires alot more than weekend tinkering.

The price sounds good, but if your considering changing engines to get the muscle car feel, keep looking till you find one with a V8, the 6cyl to 8cyl is a big changeover. You cant just drop a V8 in there, there are transmission considerations, suspension considerations, and braking considerations.

You came to the right place to ask questions tho..there is a wealth of informed mustang enthusiasts here.
Good luck and post some pics of the car if you can.

 

For 1500, that's most likely the only thing your are going to get is a weekend hobby that you will spend years with and never drive it on the road.

 

It sounds a little low, but it is an inline 6 so who knows, it might be worth checking out.

 

Thanks for all the advice. It probably is an inline 6....as I said, Im not the most car savy person in the world. Perhaps my money is better spent investing in my '03.

 

take some pictures, post them up

 

where is this car being sold at cause i am looking for an I6 stang

 

i have seen cars for sell adds where a older car they say its a v6 when its really a inline 6
