Q: who knows of a classic mustang for sale?
Does anyone know of a ford mustang in the year range of 1966 to 1969 thats for sale. it can be in bad condition, i will fix it up. and is there any benifits to having a classic mustang. any bad reasons to have one?

A: There’s always a lot of them around for sale. Just read the ads. The benefits are a very recognizable and desirable car to drive. The drawbacks is that if you get one in bad condition it can keep you broke for a long time restoring it. Theft is also a problem. Few are ever recovered as they’re usually stripped for parts.

Q: has anybody got a classic ford mustang for sale ?

A: I have a 67 shelby gt 500. It has a kenne bell supercharger with a 351 in it. I will take $50,000

Q: Installing Airbags in classic Mustang?
I found a 1968 mustang coupe for sale that I was planning on buying. My dad has vetoed the idea because it has no airbags. Is there a way of installing airbags in this car so I can try to change his mind?

A: Talk with your dad and find out if there can be a compromise of some sort- for example, does the car have seatbelts? Agree with your dad that you’ll take driver’s safety lessons, and sign a contract that you promise to always wear your seatbelt whenever you drive. Ask him if that is acceptable, since the classic Mustang doesn’t have airbags.

Or, you could buy a newer Mustang that already has airbags instead. The choice is yours. Good luck!

Q: Does anyone know a website that sales classic muscle cars like 67 mustang?
Also for under $20,000 and for a 16 years old.

A: Best site for finding antique and specialty cars at a fair price is amazingly enough Ebay .. some are no reserve auction and others are simply purchase .. check it out. Go to www.autotrader.com also and search .. they have quite a few dealers.

Q: A few questions about finding a good Classic Mustang, please help?
We have looked at a few and just can’t seem to find the right one, one was sold before we even got a change to look at it, apparently they sale really fast, one was beautiful but the more we looked at it, it was all mismatched parts on it, and the other one had alot of rust.

1. How much rust it too much?
2. Is it hard to find a good one for $10,000 or less?
3. Where’s the best place to look for classic cars?

A: Your not going to find a 65-73 Mustang with no rust, just make sure it’s not into the frame and support structures.

Check out Classic Car Trader, they are online and have magazines out at 7/11 etc. they have a Mustang and Ford traders too.

Q: Classic Ford Mustang Time Commitment?
I’ve been looking to buy a 1964-1967 Mustang. I see several for sale ads stating that the seller no longer has the time to work on the car. How much time should I expect to “work” on the car? What kind of “work” should I expect to do? Thanks!
To clarify, I am not asking how much time I should expect to work on a specific car. My question is how much should I expect to work on a classic Ford Mustang generally to keep it in good shape. I assume that since multiple sellers are selling because they don’t have time to devote to the car, the time commitment would be much more than for my current 2002 model vehicle, which is basically minimal to none. Thanks!

A: Well, it depends on several things:

1.) First, how far do you want to go with the restoration? There is a huge difference in time and money to make a “rough but running” car a “daily driver” vs. a “20-footer” vs. a “true show car.” Depending on the model, there’s a practical limit to what this car is going to be worth (at each of these restoration tiers) when you’re done.

2.) How much rust? If this is surface rust without rot or perforation, a good prep and repaint will do the trick. Pay careful attention to the floorboards (front and rear), the lower lips on the fenders, the lower door edges, the rocker panels and the front and rear fascia under the bumpers. Check underneath, too (exhaust, brake & suspension components & associated mounting points).

3.) Are the engine, transmission and driveline sound? If so, do you intend to keep them stock?

4.) How much work on the inside? Specifically, are the gauges, radio, heater/vent controls, etc. present and working? Glass? Weatherstrips? What needs to be done?

5.) Apart from restoration, how much regular maintenance or mechanical repair needs to be done? Brakes? Wheels/Tires? Craigslist can be your friend for upgraded wheels/tires.

The good news is that, given the popularity of early Mustangs, there are numerous sources for Mustang restoration and performance parts. Start with your local wrecking yard / auto recycler, move on to J C Whitney for general stuff, then to any of the myriad Mustang performance / enthusiast sites on the web.

If you are a decent mechanic and can do paint prep properly, you can cut your costs considerably on a project like this. Years ago, I bought and restored a ‘63 Falcon (from “rough but running” to “20-footer” status) with my father-in-law. It took 2 years of on-and-off weekend work, lots of trips to the wrecking yard and research in mail-order catalogs and about $3,000, but it was one of the best things we’ve ever done together.

Good luck!

RESPONSE TO YOUR FOLLOW-UP:

I suspect your sellers are referring to the restoration “work” still to be done, rather than routine maintenance. Following restoration, these cars are really pretty trouble-free. Here’s a few thoughts, based on my own experiences (see end of my original post above):

You will need to do oil and filter changes every 3,000 miles (which, BTW, you ought to be doing on your 2002 model as well – check the “harsh conditions” service interval recommendations – you’re likely unwittingly driving under “harsh conditions” as defined).

Because you’re working with a carbureted / mechanical ignition system on a 64-67, you will need more frequent and extensive tune-ups than with fuel injection and electronic ignition – including periodic adjustment / replacement of plugs, points, condenser and replacement of cap and rotor – every second year or so. You can mitigate this by retrofitting an aftermarket electronic ignition system – many offerings are available for the Mustang.

Some suspension components which are “factory sealed” or not serviceable on newer models have zerk fittings and are meant to be serviced as part of routine oil changes / lubes.

Older transmissions, power steering pumps/boxes, water pumps, alternators, etc. don’t really require more service by design, but you should make an effort keep fluids changed and things adjusted in view of the age of these components.

This is the sort of required / preventive maintenance you’d expect with any vehicle of this age, though.

Again, good luck! Sounds like a fun project!

Q: Anyone use MoneyBookers to purchase a car from a private seller?
I have a feeling this is a scam but Ill ask anyway. I found a car on craiglist for sale (Classic Mustang) for less than $5000 and in mint condition from the pics. BUT the seller claims he lives in one state and the car is in North Dakota, and he needs to sell the car cause he is moving, and wants to use moneybookers to complete the transaction, I think its scam, but other opinions would be appreciated.
I dont like the idea that this guy knows my name, address and phone # but he doesnt have any of my bank or credit card info.

A: It’s a scam.

Remember, at the top of the page on Craigslist, it says “Offers to ship cars are 100% fraudulent”.

There’s always a story behind it, such as military/divorcing/moving overseas/death in family. Seller cannot communicate on the phone (don’t believe me… ask them to call you), wants to use some “official-sounding” escrow service (like MoneyBookers, Yahoo! Protection Plan, eBay Protection, etc.) so that you’re both “protected”. They offer to ship the car to you on their dime, have you inspect it, you have 7-10 days to return it, etc.

All of these are the same scam. My guess is that the ad has already been flagged and pulled.

Don’t fall for it. Once you wire funds, they’re GONE. No “gimme my money back”, nada. And there is no retrieving it. It’s overseas and gone.

Q: Need help on what to look for in a 1964 Ford Mustang?
I’ve just spotted a 64 Mustang today at work that was up for sale. I called up the guy and he was asking for $5,800 for it with 68,000 mileage rebuilt engine, 3rd owner, Automatic. I’m seriously considering picking up the car. Since I was at work I couldn’t test drive it (I do park field work). My question is, what do I look for in a classic Mustang so I won’t get rip off or get a car that has too many issues. What are the pros and cons of the 64’s that I should be aware of. I know nothing about American cars (sorry but I was born into the import scene all my life) but want this car. Are the price expensive and are the parts available if anything was to happen? Any concerns I should have? The link belong is the exact same look besides the convertible detail.

Thanks for the help!

A: I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but there is no 1964 Mustang, only the 65…the early production (April to Aug 64) are called 64 1/2’s.. to tell if it is one, it has to have a engine code of one of these..D,F or U .. that’s the last letter before the unit number.. I would shy away from a U code, you can spot them by their 4 lug wheels, they originally came with a 170 ci inline 6, but odds are it’s been replace long ago. the problem with them is their small brakes, no good for stopping, so unless you are doing a complete resto rod with new everything don’t go there..

and like the others have said, watch out for rust, especially in the subframe assemblies.. also make sure the dataplate on the door matches the vin on the top of the drivers fender…learn how to decode by printing out a vin decoder, there’s one in the links of the group below..

Q: How to sell antique & classic cars online?
I am handling the sale of an estate. It includes a 1964 1/2 Mustang, 1941 Chevrolet, 1969 Charger (the Gen. Lee year?) and an Alfa-Romero. Advice sought on the best way to get the widest buyer base?

A: The best way to go is Hemmings.com. They only handle antique, historical and classic cars. Be sure to include pictures of the cars that show their real condition. Do not hide any imperfections. Potential buyers will greatly appreciate this. Good luck.

Q: Obtaining title for inheritied classic vehicle?
I inherited my father’s 1965 Ford Mustang when he passed in 2000. It sat on his property up until recently, and has too many repairs for me to keep up with effeciently. I want to sell the vehicle, but we possess neither a title nor a bill of sale. My father owned the vehicle for over 10 years before he died, but we have nothing to prove this.

The vehicle has a very old tag issued in Alabama, but I live in Oklahoma. I’m not sure how this affects getting a title.

How can I obtain a legal title or bill of sale so that I can sell the Mustang?

A: Many DMV offices in the US will make it hard on you if you apply for a lost title.

Some will want you to put up a bond (your own money) that the state will keep for years to cover them in case the vehicle turns up as stolen.

Once a set number of years has passed, they will finally send you the title, and even then it could be a salvage title – hurting the value of your car.

There is a way around this for cars older than 1974:

http://www.broadwaytitle.com/

I know many people who have used their services, and it is a great way to get a real title for your car in a short amount of time.

It is really simple – taking advantage of the fact that Alabama did not require titles for cars before 1974. If you buy an old car from Alabama, all you will get is a bill of sale and proof of registration (license plates). The DMV in your state most likely will have to accept this and issue you a new title.

Broadway will supply you with these documents for a fee. It is a loophole – but also very legal.

Make sure you double check that your state’s DMV will accept a bill of sale and registration from Alabama (most of them still do) – and you will be set.

Good luck!

A: With a Budget of 4000 to 4500 for a car 2000 to 1500 for fix up. You can Shop all day but you need to narrow it down to a Few ? You know your not going to get a rare car So look out side the box.

I found a 69 LeMans convertible for 3500 but no motor. But couldn’t pass it up.

Another off the wall year is a 65 66 67 Rambler American Convertible easy to swap a SBC into.

If you look around on ebay at convetibles you can see different ones over the years that would be best for you.

If you go to swap meets The price on the 1st day of a 3 day weekend will be MORE than the price on Saturday evenings price.

looking for the off not wanted cars well find you a great car and your budget is a good set…

GM 1965 to 1972 Custom S, LeMans, Tempest

Q: Is this muscle car site real? Somebody please help me?
http://www.collectorcarsforsale.com/
That is the site with the muscle cars for sale. I REALLY need to know if it is legit or not. I need some help because I love muscle cars to death. And this seems like a perfect buy. But it also seems WAY too good to be true. http://www.collectorcarsforsale.com/classic-cars-for-sale/l2430.html
That is one of the 68 mustangs for sale. I know this car is REALLY expensive, but the parts on it seems brand new, not the actual original. I know putting the new parts on a muscle will lower the value but this seems way too unreal. I really really need help with this. Could the car also be just one big remake? Because I know you can remake an entire body. I really need answers if this is legit or not. And why is it so cheap.

A: The site is for real, but anyone can put an ad on there for 20.00. You are barking up the wrong tree asking here, you need to research that specific car and seller. A good start would be calling the seller on the phone.

Q: Are there any cars under 1000 that are reliably and good?
You see my mom is going to buy me a car when I graduate from high school. But I want a car before that, and my mom doesn’t think a 16 year old should have a car. So even through she thinks that she will still let me buy my own if my dad puts it under his insurance and he registers it. So I’m all set to do this, and my dad told me for a first car he would pay 800 to get used to driving and it won’t be horrible if I mess it up. So now I have like 9 months to get the money. But I don’t really know any good cars for this price, but i was thinking an old honda civic because the accords use to be bad. Oh and just to let you know when I graduate I’ll probably sell my old car when my mom buys my new one which will probably be a 2005 mustang or a 65 mustang because ones on sale for 8500 and if its like that later I’ll probably get the classic thanks for the answers.

A: You can occasionally find a decent car in that price range but you need to have any used car checked out by a mechanic before you buy it.

Q: Whats a good first car? preferably Muscle wise?
I am 16 and will have my license on Dec 4th. ( If I pass the test ((I will :] )) And Ive been looking online for used cars for sale. I have 1200$ saved for a car and I want a Muscle car (of course). Nothing new like the new mustang or anything but I want an old mustang or nova or like a muscle car. Whats a good idea for a first muscle car? Something that isn’t now a days a classic.. please I’ve looked everywhere online, and I’m desperate, and right about now, I’m not really caring what car I get at all, a car si a car, but I’m asking on your opinions for a cheap, (lower than 12004) muscle car. I just need ideas so i KNOW what i want.
Ok, i guess i wont get a muscle car then, it’s not THAT important. But then would would be a good alternative? Ive been reading the answer and looking at the suggestions.

A: you dont have enough money to buy a muscle car that runs
