Default how much is it worth

i havea 1967 mustang coupe. i have a new front and rear suspendsion a 9in 4:11 locker 4 speed toploader (rebuilt has about 800mi on it). a 351 Cleveland, but its in peices completely torn down , but have aussie heads, full roller rockers, comp cam w/ matching springs lifters etc., edelbrock performer intake, stainless steel vlaves, and all the old engine parts. the in good shape, rusted floors, but new pans were rivited to the existing rusted floors, the rusted floors arent bad maybe 1"-1.5" squares on each side. (i didnt do the floor work.) stainless brake lines, and fuel lines. power steering complete set up. new fuel tank, new brakes al around all drums, kyb shocks. bodyy wise paint is faded, but wet sandable and looks good, small ammounts of rust by back window and one spot on front fender( its been bondoed and fixed) frame rails are good free of rust. interior is decent drivers seat has one tear, passenger and back are good, dash is semi clean, crome plating comming off in a couple of places, new dash padand headliner, crapets need to be changed tho. pretty much the only thing that has to be done is the engine paint and interior. I woudl finish it but i have to go to college next year, and i wont have the time space or money to deal with it. i can get pictures soon but form now thats all

It's hard to say how much it's worth. It depends on where you live, and how much money you have in it. I think you would have a bigger audience if you finished the engine and got it roadworthy. There are a lot of kids out there looking for running classic Mustangs, but wouldn't know how to overhaul an engine.

...rusted floors, but new pans were rivited to the existing rusted floors... small ammounts of rust by back window and one spot on front fender (its been bondoed and fixed)...
That poor floor patch-job will throw up a red flag to just about everybody. What it's really doing is providing even more seams and hiding places for water to feed that rust. If anything, it's probably made the problem worse. And the floors are rusted through for a reason - most likely a long-gone cowl. "Small amounts of rust by the back window" mean large amounts on the other side of that panel. And if a rusty spot on the front fender has been Bondo'd - it hasn't been fixed.

Not meaning to sound all negative, but folks are going to spot these things (besides the fact that it's not a running car), and offer less money. Despite all that you've invested into it by way of go-fast parts, you may still only be looking at a couple or $3000.

That's about the figure I had in my head, Dan, but it is hard to say until the amount of rust damage has been determined. I was thinking the same thing about that floor pan being rivited over the old one. Man, what a dumb decision that was.

ok now i know the floor is a problem, but since they were ut in the car has never seen weather, right after they put them in i bought it, so it shouldn't be too bad to fix, also the engine is the reason im getting rid of it, it will be a awsome car if the engine was done, but the problem i have is since im going to college in 3 months i need money and i dont have enough to be spending on the stang, and the four years all the time i will have is the summers and winters, which may be shortend any way because i am hoping to get internships. so i was thinking the best thing to do is sell it and hope to get another one later on.

Do you really like the car? Do you have free storage space? You need to decide if you want to keep it for restoration in future years, or get rid of it because you can't afford the storage, or you just don't like the car, and are not willing to put in the money and effort in future years to restore it.

Yeah, it sounds like you need to sell it. College is a whole lot more important than the projects. Good luck with school. Keep looking forward with your life, and never look back.

There is a for sale section right here on the MF. Also, advertise it on Ebay, the local newspaper, etc.
