Default Restoration Help for a Noob!

Hi everyone this is my first post, but I am ashamed to say that I am not YET a mustang owner. In fact, sadly,I know very little about cars in general.This is where my problem begins.

I have always loved the classic mustang and have been determined to get onesince Icould first walk. The other day I was driving down the road and I sawa localdealer selling this beatiful red 1969V8 automatic. Butall I know is that the car would definately need some work done on it, exterior and interior,which sadly I can not do.

This is where the question comes in. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where and how I might send this diamond in the rough in to get truley restored to it's original state and maybe a few modern accessories? How to find someone and what to look for whenI get it restored.And of course an estimated price.

Thanks for all the help in advance. I look forward to truly being a mustang owner.

welcome to the forums. stick around here and you'll be wanting to do the restoration your self soon. we cant assess the car without pics so if you can get them up it will help. the faq at the top of the page has so many resources in it from parts to procedures so have a look. if you get curious just ask us a question
