So what is the average price for a fastback? I don't know if in my area are they cheap or expensive?

I had an enthusiast approach me while I was working in the garage on my '66 GT Fastback. He looked the car over carefully and offered $40k on the spot. It is a California car with one repaint. The only piece of sheet metal that is not original to the car is the hood. It is an OEM part from another car. There is no rust and the entire drivetrain has less than 4000 miles on it. I turned the offer down.

25k would be a 3+ car, I finished a complete rebuild on a 67GT 2 years ago, the paint shop valued the car at 53k before total assembly, you should be able to got a nice driver for 20k - 25K. With everything I added and options the car came with The NADA value shows 70k For #1 condition. Just something to think about, 4 speed is big add, 6 cylinder is big drop but still nice. Good luck, hope you find one you like. Some of the 71 x 73 fastbacks are still pretty decent priced.

The average price is too much. I wouldn't pay what people are asking...its around 25k for one in decent shape(little rust, in running condition, decent paint) around here...and 40k+ for anything fully restored.

Musrsngs in any condition will go for a premium on bringatrailer. I get daily feeds of any ’64-‘72 models. Beautiful cars most of the time.

Would you take $48,000 :)

This '65 worked out to about US$24K last year in Canada. 60,000 miles, solid driver, T-code auto, but cosmetically very nice inside and out, and worthy of a V8/5-speed swap.

Not as cheap as it seems- would have to replace the suspension and rear end too. From 4 lug to 5 lug etc.. New engine and transmission - probably into it for at least 10k more. I thought about doing it to an original T code I had a few years ago but couldn't justify the cost - it was an original AC 4speed T code too...

I guess they are cheap where I am, you can get a fastback for 15k rust free almost complete doesn't run needs to be put together, some are just a rust free shell for 18k. The restored ones range from 20k to 70k. There are unrestored fastbacks that need all new everything for $1,500 on up. Sorry it took so long to write my response.

Sorry! It's just not for sale at this time. There is already a waiting list of interested buyers, most are people that have worked on the car in the past and have had the opportunity to inspect the underside on their lifts.

P.S. If you DO chop it up real quick like, make sure you cut out the WHOLE thing, including part of the kick panels. I looked forever for a front window surround, and, they all cut them off 2" before the kick panel. THATS the main part they DONT sell you at Dynacorn, the side window post, which goes all the way into the kick panels and door support. Now I have to fab the s*** out of mine. Better than nothing I guess.

Good luck with it.

Well, since you will not pint it out, it obvious there is nothing there.

Oh, and yes, I sued my own lawyer in court who was trying to screw me over. I had to act EXACTLY as a lawyer (its stated in the "code") and I got what I was expected. How about you? Would love to see you approach the court. "Ladies and gentelman, your honer and prosecuter, go read the code or go back to school. I win!".

Now, quote the "specific" code that applies to a citizen or go away.

I just wanted him to show me in the code. I read the code, I didnt see any of what you mentioned. I wanted to learn, I wanted to see what I missed, he wanted to stamp his feet, fall to the floor and scream.

1) I know Georgia you can get a "registration" with bill of sale.

2) Dynacorn has ALL the parts to put a mustang back together from the ground up. Why destroy an original to meal peace a pain in the arse conversion if there is no worrys about titles n such.

Doesnt add up somewhere.......yet.

Anyways, not worried about it, lets move on.

For what its worth, I got my 69 conversion top (mainly for the front window frame) for $250 a year ago.

Most in that shape will get crushed. Unless they’re used for parts cars, conversions or restomods they’ll get junked. Last I looked a Dynacorn shell was $20k plus shipping. If you’ve got a grand in the car, another $7-8k in metal you’re on your way to a solid start. The Dynacorn needs to be massaged for fits and gaps as well. If it’s a restomod a good hunk of that Dynacorn will be cut away. With the shell you can use the title from the donor car. Depending on where you are you may be able to find a few parts cars with enough good metal that with some patches you can make a whole car. For many that’s the fun of it.

LIghten up, Francis.

If I had a nickel for every race car I've had with messed up VINs, one VIN for the front, one for the back, no VIN at all (built from a pre-prod or body in white). You get the idea.

I've seen VINs from a various cars used to built/register kit cars where the only part transferred to the kit was the stamping with the vin on it.

As long as you're not misrepresenting it, you are more than welcome to possess a car with any messed up VIN you want to. VINs are not very controlled. It's not a passport.
