Rust is the killer. You should be able to buy a rust free California car for less than that, but that would need everything else. I paid $1400 for an absolutely rust free straight '65, 289-2V that is mechanically sound. It needs paint and an interior. I spent money for all new brakes etc. and to pull the heads to inspect the engine. Hope this info helps. Fixing body cancer is an expensive deal. By the way if it is a stick with the original transmission, it is prone to tranny problems. The C-4 is a much better combination in that year. Good Luck.

Another what's it worth - 66 Mustang Coupe
There is a '66 coupe sitting in a back yard up the street from me that you can only see in the fall when the leaves are down. It's only been back there a couple of years and, shortly after I first saw it back there, I asked the owner if he planned to sell it. Well, of course, he said he was going to restore it because it had been in his family since his parents bought it new.
This morning he stopped to tell me he's moving to Florida and will sell me the car with two NOS fenders, a spare transmission, and a spare engine that needs rings for $2500. The floors need replacing, the quarters need patching, and I haven't checked the cowl yet. It's a plain-jane 6-cylinder coupe with no options.
What do you think this car is worth?
