Good luck with the sale. It seems like everybody is thinning their herd.

Well I don't really "want" to sell it but just being realistic in how long it will be before I have time to get to it and it would be better off with someone who doesn't have as many irons in the fire as I do.....I've had people come by the shop and want to buy it but their intention is to hot rod it with no concern for what it is so I have refused to sell it to them so far.

As an update....the car is running/driving now...the fuel pump was bad so I replaced it. I also had forgotten that I installed an off road H-pipe and Flowmasters on it...Not stock but it was what I had handy at the time.

In regards to "thinning" the herd one needs to remember that if you sell it now.....it will cost more later when you want it again. I know that with the way SSP prices have climbed over the past five years I am glad I have my cars put away awaiting restoration.

While that is true there comes a time when you realize you have just too many projects. I sold a '65 Fastback 5 years ago because I had 2...I replaced it with a '67 GT Fastback and have not regretted it other than the fact that values have soared on those early fastbacks....however, I already have one SSP that I enjoy and another while a different department is duplication and I have so many other projects it is unrealistic to think that I will get to it anytime soon. I spend most of my time building cars for others so my time on my own is severly limited. I already have enough projects for 2 lifetimes and I just picked up 4 more vintage Mustangs. My collection is pretty diverse among Ford & Mercury products.
But this is a feeler and that I "would" sell the car....but now that it's running I may just start driving it a bit. It would make a great project for someone but the longer I have it and find a few minutes here and there to tinker with it, the more expensive it's going to get.  You never know...I might get a wild hair and you might see it at the 45th anniversary show painted and marked with a sale sign in the window....but it will be a far cry from $3500...:lol:.I'm waiting for a Marti report on one of the cars I just picked up but it's an interesting one....appears to be a standard '67 Coupe...S code, so it is a 390 4V Automatic that is white with a white vinyl top, standard interior, no A/C, manual drum brakes and manual steering. I've never seen an early Mustang that was white with a white vinyl roof and to be an S code yet not a GT is on the rare side so it seems like an oddball but we'll see what the marti report comes back with.

Update.....I've been offered more than this from locals who want to build a drag car but I refuse to see this car hacked up into a race car. I am offering for sale here WITHOUT all the spare parts I've collected...this is just the car. I've replaced the fuel pump and it does run with a good battery. The Unit number is 1329. Once the car is sold I will sell off the parts I collected that I can't use elsewhere. Price for the car alone is $1600 firm...I turned down $2K to a couple of racers but if it doesn't sell to someone who will restore it I may have no other choice. I'd really prefer to see this car go to someone who will restore it back to in service condition. I have WAY too many projects and it's time to scale back and thin the herd so I can concentrate on a couple rather than all I have.
Located near Birmingham, Alabama.
