Hi I am looking for a 67' or68' mustang fastback project car for a littel less than 5,000$ I would like it if it had an engine but with this price i wouldnt mind and it needs to have all of the floors and interior also if it is in thesouthern california area that would be great, please i am looking for my dream car and want one that me and my dad can work on.

Any takers

 

i bought my 68' coupe with a 302, that ran great, had very decent interior, extremely minnimal rust ( only a little bit of cancer in the passenger floor pan ) for $2125 at a auction in a tow yard.

it was impounded for street racing.
but that was a steal
but they are deffinitaly out there.
BTW i live in So Cal

 

i was in the same boat as you 3 years ago my suggestion is go get a job save all your money and then maybe you'll be able to afford one especailly if its in so cal area the cheepest i saw was 8900 in socal area and it needed quarters floors interior and engine. i went all the way to arizona to get mine pm me and i can give you the number of my friend that sells all types of mustangs and mite be able to help you.

I have foundone for 5,000 and a couple for 6,000-6,500 but my dad wont bite and i have already saved about 5,000 but need some money to fix it. and what dose your friend do, is he here or in arizona?

 

our shop project car 67 fastback that needs an engine, floors and everything else but complete we purchased for 6000.00 but it has a 4 speed top loader and 9".

 

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but you will have a very hard time finding a '67 or '68 fastback that has the floors, interior, engine, etc... for $5000; although it is possible if you find the right seller. Try looking at coupes, they're way cheaper and way easier to find, good luck and have fun!

even fastback shells are bringing quite a bit these days. I would suggest posting a want ad on craigslist. Dont just jump on the first one you get. make sure it is the right one for you. Most of us waited months before buying our stangs.

also, you could look in to getting a coupe. you could get one in much better shape for the price and they still look dang sexy (better than FB's in my opinion, although most would disagree).

good luck! if you find one and want an opinion if its a good deal, just post a thread with some pics and details and we would be glad to help you out.

 

No, I totally agree We are the 20-25 year old new classic Mustang appreciation society

Go for a coupe, you'll save money (that you will of course put in something else ... for the car)

 

Fastback shells are worth 5,000. Just go with a coupe. I bought my coupe for 5500 and the only problem was it had been hit in the passenger door.

 

Thanks for all the help im am new at buying a car(as most of youknow)but have wanted one ever since I saw my first stang driving down the street but I wont buy a cope just because I know i will bekeeping this car for a long time and gettinga coupe would mean I would have to spend more money latter cuz the price will just keep going up cuz really stangs are ageless.
