Default What do you think I should pay for this car?? 65 Coupe/347 Stroker

Looking at this car, trying to decide if there is room in my life for this pony. I am not a big fan of the paint job but it looks like a really nice car. I might buy it and sell it after a few months of fun and small projects. The seller is asking $7k. What do you think? Thanks for your time, fellas!!


DESCRIPTION:
1965 Mustang - Built V8 motor. 4 speed Manual transmission toploader tansmission - Built 302 with 347 stroker kit. Runs good and strong. Engine Dynoed at 423 horsepower and 363 rear wheel horsepower.

That sounds like an awesome deal to me, I don't think the paint job is too bad though. Just remember to be careful, because if something sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

Yeah, I am definitely going to be cautious if I pursue this one... The seller claims that he has to sell due to a family emergency. Of course, there are a million stories to tell but that is a good one that could easily be legit.

I think as long as the title is clear and the VIN matches the tags, it is probably a good deal. I have seen this guy selling a few other more "project" type cars and this one seems like the nicest I have seen him selling. My wife greenlighted the purchase without a fight, which was surprising.

It would be a total impulse buy so I guess I just want to make sure it really is as good as it seems.
Decisions, decisions....

DAMN, the car is sold. I was ready to go get her tonight. Okay, sorry for wasting anyones time. I appreciate you giving me your feedback.
Truth is, another Mustang right now is really not a good idea.

But it just seemed like such a good deal... Damn. Oh well.

ya, im guessing he forgot the 1, there is no way he was only asking 7k for that.
