Needs Everything: 1969 Mustang Convertible

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

We’ve all become used to seeing really sad Mustangs that are beyond repair going for ridiculous prices these days. This particular car seems to be an exception to that rule. Listed for sale here on Craigslist, this convertible example is located on Staten Island, New York, and comes with a Bill of Sale. The price has been set at a rather competitive $1,900 OBO.

The seller is quite candid about the state of this Mustang. He says that it basically needs everything. We only get three photos, but they indicate that externally at least, this doesn’t look too bad with some rust in the bottom corners of both doors as the major visible issue. However, it’s a Mustang and it’s a convertible, so it’s what we can’t see that can be scary. It started life as a Meadowlark Yellow car with a black top and interior, so would have been an attractive car when new. The other thing to consider is that the car has no engine or transmission, so that will add to the expense if you were considering taking this on as a project car.

With prices for decrepit examples reaching five figure sums, this particular Mustang makes a refreshing change. Basically if you were to sit down and make a list of all the things that it needs you would probably be better off making a list of what it doesn’t need because that list would be shorter. The truth is that someone will probably buy it for the tags and whatever they can salvage off it in the way of parts. If they do at least they will pay a realistic price for it.

    What one person thinks it needs everything another may not so a close inspection might be a smart buy for someone with the skills and $$$ to bring it back to life, not for a flip but to show he can. A convertible mustang would be ripe for rust unless stored properly. JMO take it or leave it.

    Rust doesn’t look too bad…. Until you see that the front end is held together by a rachet strap. As dark as the sellers pics are they’re basically worthless for trying to judge the condition of the lower body and rockers. Parts car, most likely.

    Ponies are the cheapest parts to buy and if one can weld and work on a car the this is your baby.

    Take this one back to nice again!!!..

    It would pay to get a flatbed trailer, and prowl the Midwest in search of barn finds. They’re out there , waiting to be found. What fun. Just have cash in hand, and buy , before owners figure out what they’re worth!
