Before dismissing this 1968 Ford Mustang in Wichita Falls, Texas, picture it with black steel wheels and new box store tires, sitting in the driveway of a nice subdivision. That simple change of scenery would double the interest in restoring this classic pony car. Despite wearing dents and rust in nearly every panel, and having its parts scattered around a farm, this Mustang still deserves a chance to run the roads again. Check out more pictures in the listing here on eBay. With only a $15,000 Buy It Now option, it’s hard to tell how much interest the listing has generated, but it’s hard to go wrong with a pre-’71 Mustang.
A front-end shunt damaged the entire front clip and (at least on the driver’s side) pushed the fenders into the door. That’s a lot of bodywork, but if you don’t count your labor, it can be repaired nearly for free. Numerous views suggest this Mustang left the factory wearing Meadowlark Yellow, a refreshing deviation from the macho hues often sprayed on fastback Mustangs.
A disassembled ’86 Mustang 302 cid (5.0L) V8 and disc brake parts suggest a stalled ’80s upgrade. Like many cars “found” these days, this one may have been cast aside as a total loss then later given a second life, as evidenced by the “reconstructed” title.
Selling what you see here for $15,000 may be daunting compared to a fresh ’68 Fastback body for a few thousand dollars more. With no VIN or other information to suggest interesting original equipment, this Ford is simply a not-too-rusty beginning, a project shell that needs everything. Good news, though; the buyer can build an awesome driver, even a daily driver, with no worries about harming its value, and it can be resold to enthusiasts with similar needs. How would you build this jack-stand beauty?
All i can say is good luck on that price. I have a really nice red 69 Stang convertible factory AC 351W thats sitting in SD for sale for not much more than this basketcase. (and its rust free!)
Because I spent the $50 to successfully sell a car here, may I suggest you do the same? I get a kick out of these sales pitches thinly disguised as “Comments”
Agreed Frank, such a lame attempt.
I also spent the $50, got one exposure and silence. I guess Once you get the car pictured, it goes away. I can’t find the listing anywhere here.
Send me your email Healeymonster so I can get some pics of what your selling!!!
with a reconstructed title I wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole!
Another dreamers car – both buyer and seller….
That car is a crime against humanity should have never been allowed to get in that condition. I agree spend the 50 bucks it’s well worth it to sell a car on this site.
This is from the “I got nothing to do, let’s take it apart school of making a car junk” and they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
One million dollars 💵
Okay lil humor but 15 k
Ha ha ha ha ha ha …..😎
Divide by two and let some one drop 30 more on this project ….
years ago I had a 67 fastback that was a rust bucket ohio car and sold it on e-bay for 8k ???? somebody will buy this you will see LOL
I rather doubt that anyone will pony up 15 grand for this jigsaw puzzle.
Better than many for sale here but needs a lot-take at least a zero off the price.
Unless the VIN says she’s a super rare super collectible, 2,500. Donate to your high school auto class and write it off for a fair deal. IMHO. Sorry, “the only rust not shown..”. Magic words for “enough”. Flying Pass!
15k is a lot to pay for a project car that needs every-thing but it does appear more solid then most of the mustang projects I see on here.
Look at the driver side door ..it has marks on it from when someone touched it with a 10′ pole..it’ll sell ..for about 1/2 the buy it now if the seller has any sense
This is a parts car,rebuilt title most definitely so,although alot of good parts here maybe, if they come down in their price maybe someone will buy it for parts if their lucky.
