hi guys,
quick question onthe worth of a car. its a 73' convertible, v8, autpmatic, orange. if restored to these demand much money?

thanks

 

For some reason the only 71-73 mustangs that i have seen bring much money is the boss 351's and boss 9's. IMO there not worth s@@t becasue there not desirable. The only rare ones they made were the mach 1's with the 429, the boss 351's and the American Spirit editions (or whatever there called) I would range you putting about 30,000 into a top notch resto, and youll be lucky to get 15,000 for it, but if it has nothing really special about it, than lower that number

 

thanks,
forget that. ill wait til something comes along that would be worth the effort.

If its a 351C 4V car then its worth a little more, otherwise right around $15k if its REALLY REALLY nice.. Of course by the time you get it done, things may have changed again, or someone may want a vert and pay anything for it. Some people are wierd like that, just dont count on finding that guy. I hope I make some coin on my 71 when it goes down the road, if I dont then I have a really nice fastback.. So its kinda the same situation, not a Boss or 429 car, so its not really rare.

 

They didn't build a Boss 429 in 1971... 1969-1970 only. With respect to value, I've got 30,000.00 in the rotisserie restored "Q" code Mach 1 below and I watched one sell for 42K a few months ago. I wouldn't even consider selling my car for 42 thousand dollars , much less the 15,000 figure mentioned above. I guess , " One mans trash is another mans treasure ".

 

i let it sit for now. it looks even rustier than mine. when my coupe is driveable/major work is done, maybe ill buy it to keep. a convertible would be nice for cruising around in.
thanks for the info guys.
