Most classic car enthusiasts would love to have an early Mustang Fastback pass through their garage at least one time. With its muscular heft and clean lines, the body style is often perceived as being a cut above the coupe configuration which, along with the convertible, took the world by storm starting in April of 1964. The second-generation 1967 Mustang Fastback on offer here on ebay could, maybe, scratch that itch, but only if you’re willing to pay way over what’s reasonable, and then do a ton of work. Anyway, you have plenty of time to think about the offering, as it’s set to run for nearly a month. Mitchell G—thank you for the tip on this car that sits in Aragon, GA at the moment.
Overpriced? Heck, ya, It’s overpriced. The guy is asking $33,500, for a car on which the interior is trashed, the paint is bad, the underneath is rusty, and the mechanicals are suspect. Body bits don’t fit. The floors clearly need to be re-restored to fix poor work the first time. And if these words don’t scare you, why, you’re just not alive: “Front frame rails are average, and rear frame rails are pretty good.” I don’t know about you, but when I hear “average,” I want to know what we’re judging against.
Even if you don’t mind that wallet-emptying news, there’s nothing particularly special about the driveline, being a C-code 289 matched to an automatic. Sure, that would make for great cruising, but it’s not like this combo is any kind of muscle car, though maybe a Marti report would reveal it to be somewhat rare when the exact mix of options are accounted for. Then again, if you’re buying this car in hopes of finding it to be a one-of-one, you’re barking up the wrong tree. This car needs to be put back on the road as what it is—the car that lots of people bought back in the day because it lifted them from the ranks of everyday suburbia and made them…something. Note that, on the positive side, despite its condition, the car seems all there, so at least you don’t have to source every little trim bit and proper bolt as you dive in to restore it.
So what should the number be? Ten grand maybe. On a day when it seems like the world could end, and so you’ve got to get something NOW, perhaps $15K. But get up over that, and you might as well look to buying a replacement body from one of several vendors who offer such things and build a car from a catalogue. In short, this seller is dreaming smoky dreams to set his buy-it-now price where he has it. He does say he’ll take the best offer, and I’d love to see what that is and how much he means it. In the meanwhile, how much of your kids’ college fund would you risk to get this admittedly good-lookng Mustang back on the road?
Wow, this seller’s on a pipe the size of a flugelhorn!
@8banger I will treasure that expression for the rest of my days
$33,500? Not a chance!
Perhaps he is color blind and thinks it is highland Green.
The seller lists worn Mustang fastbacks all the time on Ebay. I wander where he finds them all?
Bargain Day Baby!
Just add another 20-30 grand to remedy faults and think wow I stole it.., 😂
“Front frame rails are average,rear frame rails are pretty good. Battery tray needs replacing, The floor panels have been patched before poorly so will need redoing. The roof has a dent in it.The car is complete and does run but has been off the road ….”
Course not 100% sure but think I can smell the bondo on the rear quarters from from here…
Almost every other week, I see one of these fastback on Barn Finds for an outrageous price. Then I go out into the garage and gaze at my “10 footer” with zero rust and that can be driven with a twist of the key…and smile.
This is like the 70 Trans Am from yesterday. Although this Mustang looks to be in marginally better condition
Hope the seller doesn’t think that one shot of the rusty underside is the only rust on that chassis. This one is not one I’d tackle.
Silly me, I thought loonie took prices like this were reserved for rusted out Mopars. If the seller believes that this thing is worth $33,500, I can’t imagine what he or she would think the ’56 Nomad advertised here today is worth.
The rust under the car looks pretty off putting to me. Maybe someone more experienced and/or skilled in frame repair would be interested in undertaking this project. But I can’t see anyone willing to pay what this seller is asking. Having owned a 1967 fastback in my youth; I would like to have another one. I don’t see it happening as these seem to be priced beyond what I would pay.
You can thank gone in 60 seconds for sending 67/68 FB prices through the roof. But people pay them…..
I don’t believe that Gone in 60 Seconds is going to convince someone to pay over 30 thousand dollars for this beater.
Kinda looks like it was painted with nail polish . . .
Nail polish remover maybe.
I bet his wife told him to sell it. He don’t want to. So he asks stupid money knowing it won’t sell. If it does he laffs all the way to the bank!!
That’s just $1015.15 per picture. No extra charge for the wasp nest!
Lot of surprises lurking once that car is media blasted. Way too much money for that one.
Loved the fork lift shots, showed a whole lot more rust. Would have to want one bad to tackle this one!
Big ouch, no thanks.
Great color
