Which is more valuable today
If we compared a T code Fastback fully restored to an A code Coupe which is more valuable...
OK If we had a T code Fastback, fully restored to an A code GT Coupe.....which is more valuble
Al right, take the same T code Fastback, and a K code coupe.....which is more valuable....
Just want to see what the consensous is before I jump out the window and spend a bunch of money....
Thanks very much

ya, Fastbacks are almost always more valuable but a T code versus a K code coupe may have the coupe as a winner. Most of the people who have old sixers don't really care about concourse value and upgrade to the 8 though

If you know of a reasonably priced numbers matching k code anything, you'd better snap it up. The rest are a dime a dozen. In 1967 there were a total of 489 k codes made, that number includes hardtops, fastbacks, verts & shelbys. I don't know the production totals for 65 & 66, but I'd guess less.

If you're the former, then paint whatever you buy a pepper gray, call it "Eleanor" and get a Carroll Shelby signature on the glovebox. The "Johnny-come-latelies" will snap it right up. But if you're the later, take some of the pressure off yourself. Buy the car that "speaks" to you! If it's a plain jane C-code hardtop - but it really makes you smile - then buy it. If it's a rusted-out fastback shell that you'd like to completely rebuild, then that's the one for you.
Typically, T-code fastbacks don't have a terribly strong following. If I had to make the same choice, I'd choose the V8 hardtop. (They have a lot less blind spots - trust me!) And if you've never owned/worked on a vintage car before, you don't want a high-dollar vehicle anyhow. Learn on something a little more appropriate. You'll thank yourself when you do step up to something a bit more expensive.
My first several Mustangs were 65/66 hardtops. I gradually moved into fastbacks, and found the one I had always wanted about 11 years ago (after being in the Mustang hobby for nearly 15 years). I scratched my itch for owning multiple cars and made my costly mistakes on them. When I finally got the '66 GT you see in my signature, I knew how to restore it. Just a word to the wise...

MY dad had a 65 Hipo 3 speed. He said it was really ragged out, but that thing sure could move. Anyways, It got stolen or something from a friends house, and we never saw it again.[:@]

A lot depends on what you're after. Are you only wanting a return on your investment? In other words, are you hoping to buy a valuable car and flip it for a profit? Or are you a Mustang-lover wanting to get your first fun vintage car?
