Default 68 Mustang GT Coupe 390 Worth?

I was looking at a 390 Mustang GT S Code Coupe, it has the 390 engine that needs rebuilt. Body and frame is in good shape needs a few rust spots fixed on the body and needs restored. I was wondering around what I should be looking to pay for a car like that.

Thanks

I think you mean frame rails because it has no real frame its a unibody,Pictures will help a lot on what is it worth.But make sure all the vins match the dash one the under hood one and the door tag.

I would only dedicate the level of work required to restore a car like that to one I thought was really worth it in the end, for me that would be a fastback.. But if you think you would really love this car and would be extremely happy with it then by all means go for it. Otherwise, continue to look around a little more.

There is not a single part of that car that doesn't have rust on it. It needs major work, FE or not.

If you decide not to buy the car, can you share the location, contact number of current owner, asking price, etc with us (specifically me)?

Thanks!
