hey guys, got a simple question for ya. What did your late 60's stangs run ya? im building up savings for a project car, and am torn between a 60's car and a fox body.
im really interested in a 6 cylinder in this body style as well. thanks in advance

 

How much of a 'project' are you looking for? $1200 to $12000 depending on how rough you want it...

 

im wanting something that is within reason. im not master mechanic.. i want something that i can learn on you know? kinda hard to learn about a motor with all the electronic bs on my 4.6. id like it to be running haha

 

I'd plan on $4-5K to buy a running coupe project

 

Get yourself a 60's Mustang. Nothing else will be as fun, simple, rewarding, or head turning. It is cheap and you will love having a true classic. Trust.

 

+1

I have a buddy with a 87, and it doesnt matter how nice or fast his is; he passes people on the road, they dont bat an eye. I pass anyone, man, woman, ford, chevy, mopar, young, old, whatever, 90% of them at least acknowledge my car, if not get excited by it.

A classic is a classic, and you'll ALWAYS be respected for it being a classic, even if someoine doesnt particularly like Mustangs.

 

yea thats wat i was expecting thanks guys

 

I got mine for $3500, and its always been a daily driver for me. The only reason to go with a Fox is if you wanna build an all out, stripped down race car for cheap. Otherwise, classics are the way to go. And they're chick magnates.

 

haha already got a chick. what do parts cost for the classics like moor wise? are they cheaper than say 4.6 parts?

 

From what I've seen: cheaper. You can get an engine rebuilt for $1200 pretty easy, interior parts are cheap and a half, and even stuff like 9" swaps and t5 swaps can be done pretty cheap. It gets expensive when you wanna go fast or get custom though...
