In the car’s first 2 ½ years, Ford sold nearly 1.3 million Mustangs. There has never been a hotter car before or after. They were everywhere you looked and started a youth movement to smaller, sporty vehicles nicknamed “pony cars.” This 1966 Mustang coupe has been largely disassembled and will have to be put back together by its next owner. Located in Gray Court, South Carolina, it’s being offered here on Facebook Marketplace for $6,000.
This Mustang is being sold by a dealer who says they focus on “father-son projects.” We’re assuming the photos provided were taken prior to the seller’s acquisition because the backdrop doesn’t speak dealer to me. While this car is photographed in a mostly dark and poorly lit warehouse, there doesn’t appear to be any rust to worry about. There is black paint on most of the car, but the hood looks to be primer gray and the valance under where the front bumper would be is white. There are pieces missing here and there and they may or may not be somewhere inside the car.
From what we see of the red interior, it was photographed in various stages of disassembly. There are some black interior pieces that may have been with the car or were intended for the car in the future. The door panels and floor coverings have been pulled out and the metal there all looks to be good. This Mustang is said to have come with a 289 V8 and an automatic transmission, but neither are in the car now. A 289 will come with the deal, but it’s not stated whether it’s original to the Ford. The motor is in the process of being put back together, but we don’t know if they will finish the work before they perform the handoff to the buyer.
Anyone seriously looking at a car like this should always get clarification from the seller as to exactly what’s coming so they’ll know the completeness of what they’re buying. If a lot of parts are missing, it could be more costly sourcing stuff from scratch rather than fixing what’s there. The coupes were produced in far greater numbers than the fastbacks or convertibles, so their value with basic V8 engines is no higher than $27,000 for the best examples (according to Hagerty).
There’s really nothing for that car but the rolling chassis. 3000. Is the most I would pay and that’s steep. You can find a tuning one for 15k and up. With matching numbers
Again with the matching numbers….It’s nice to see a car put together with different components to make a really nice ride!
There are MUCH better ways to spend your time and money.
I have been to that dealers lot more than once. It is essentially a junk yard that keeps the titles to the cars they take in. They have a few nice cars for sale. However the majority look about like this and he wants every penny he can get. That is why he doubles the value on everything so he can get beat up on the price and you think you done something and got a deal. At 3K though he will still double his money. The best car I ever saw there was a 68 Chevelle triple black convertible for 20 K that was about 12 to 15 years ago. He was double on what that was worth for the condition it was in.
