this is was it has:
auto,PS, Flow master, rebuilt motor, K&N, elect. ignition, new int, CD, runs great, must see, $4400 obo.
Sound good? What sounds like a fair price?

Sounds wonderful, does he have any reciepts to back everything up? Use a magnet to check the body for rust/ bondo.

 

Nice color! Any more pictures?

 

If that is as nice as it sounds, buy it. Seemslike a reasonable price. If it checks out. Offer him 4k just to try and save a little.

More pics please.

 

Here's some good advice....Make sure you look at the "sweet spots" for rust. If you don't know here they are.

Look at the shock towers from inside the eng. bay and around wheel wells.
If you can lay on the ground and scoot under the car if not go as far as you can. USE A FLASHLIGHT EVEN IF ITS DAYTIME.
Look at the framerails front and back for rust
look for repair/rust on bottom of floors. There shouldn't be sheet metal screws or rivets sticking through the bottom of the floors
make sure front frame rails are not separating from floor or twisted .
look above the rearend for rust holes.If you can't get under there you can veiw this from the trunk.
BE SURE TO PULL BACK ANY CARPET OR WHATEVER IS IN THE TRUNK and look for rust. And look under trunk
Also with your flashlight look inside the car up inside corners of the firewall . The corners hidden by the dash rust also
And look for bubbles around the back window because that top can hide problems too

If everything looks good then yes its worth the money

These mustangs can have some bad rust but you have to know what to look for to save yourself problems. I've seen alot of nice "looking" ponies but when you look else where on the car it's totally a rust bucket that looks good.

 

Hey, That thing looks pretty good. CHECK FOR RUST, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SAID!!!!!

 

well considering I got a 66 coupe with a bad paint job, decent engine (valve guide seals are shot and the lifters knock once and awhile) VERY LITTLE rust (battery platform and a little bit on the rear window is all i have found so far) a little bit of dmg to the body (rear driver side quarter panel has bondo under paint) and a pretty new interior (1-3 years) and I payed 5200 for it.

so if your getting a better engine and paint job with the same or less rust then you have a great deal on your hands...

 

The price sounds good. But, I would not buy a car without getting close and personal with it before buying it. There are just too many surprises awaiting you. That goes for any car, not just Mustangs. I paid more than that for my old coupe several years ago. But, it was solid as a rock and ran like a scalded cat. Still does.....

 

It sounds too good to be true. What is the title an R title? Was it a flood car?

 

Thanks alot for the info. I will be sure to look at those spots for rust, and everywhere else.
thanks agian
