Unfortunately mine isnt a classic, its more like the b*****d child of the Mustangs. razz
I want to buy a 1969 Firebird Trans Am though... and also I saw a 1966 Mustang for sale for $4500 I didn't see under the hood but it was in nice shape in the interior, the exterior was perfect except the left fender had a dent in it (it was parked in a parking lot; I wouldnt doubt it if some jack-a** kids threw one at it).
But anyways; I dont know if its a good buy, but my dad wrote down the phone number of it and he might buy it just to fix it up a bit more and re-sell it for more.
You guys know what a completely restored 66 goes for with original engine?

You guys know what a completely restored 66 goes for with original engine? Depends on the engine and the actual extent and level of the restoration. If it's got a six-banger, like a 170 in it, and completely restored, you're looking at about $8500... maybe $10,000 if the restoration was totally complete, numbers matching, etc. If it's got a 289 2V or 4V (2bbl. or 4bbl.)... maybe $9000 for a quick restoration, between $11,000-$13,000 for a very good restoration. Maybe $15,000 for a numbers matching, resto. If it's a K-Code (289 Hi-Po) and it's fully restored... I'd say upwards of $25,000, especially if it's a numbers matching. Those are all prices if it's a coupe. If it's a fast-back or a convertible, you can end up adding anywhere between $1,000-$3,000 onto that price due to the body style.

Finally, some pictures of the Mustang in my possession:  Specs: 250HP 2bbl. 289 V-8... modifications include a dual exhaust system (Which I might be adding headers to in the near future), with flowmaster mufflers 3-Spd. Cruise-o-matic Automatic Transmission Cragar S/S Wheels Black Vinyl Top and Black GT Stripe Reupholstered Ponty-Interior Boston 12-inch Sub, Pioneer speakers, etc. All sheet metal is new, the gold paint is about two years old All guages, buttons, and knobs still function except the cigarette lighter Original console (very hard to find these days) The only thing I don't particurarly like is the kind of gas mileage I get with it (8 if I'm driving fast, 10-12 for normal driving, 15 if I'm really light on the pedal)...

You get 8 with that thing? Wow, I get 8.5 in my '77 LTD whether I drive it pedal to the metal or crawl like a granny in town. Highway is 18 to 20, depending on the gasoline I use, not the wind or road conditions. I've tested these theories, yes.
And my boat has a 400CID hooked up to a 3-speed FMX. Curb weight of 6204 pounds.

Curb weight of 6204 pounds. My guess as to why it has such trouble with fuel mileage right now is because I'm at a high elevation... well... at least to most of the rest of the states... I'm consistently about 5,200-5,500ft. above sea level... so, it's difficult for the proper fuel/ air ratio to be achieved... I'm probably going to take it to a shop to have the carbs jetted to hopefully get some more mileage out of it... speaking of elevation, my mustang made it up to peak of Mt. Evans (14,000ft. +) no problem, ran cooler than it will in the city... scary as hell bringing the old thing back down though.

Haha, wow, that would be exhilarating, though perhaps a little too astounding for my taste. I onyl sit at an elevation of about 3000 where I'm at. I know my dad and I took his 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite to the Black Hills one time and when we got there it was running terrible, whereas it had been running perfectly here. We just adjusted the carburettor a touch and it ran flawless yet again.

We just adjusted the carburettor a touch and it ran flawless yet again. Yeah, that's what surprised me. I was almost sure I'd have to adjust the carbs or roll her back down going up that high. But, it just kept on motoring it's way up the mountain without coughing, sputtering, missing, or anything. Kept it in low most of the way back. The road up to Mt. Evan's is a challenge to. For a little while it's in, amongst the trees. You don't have to worry about going off the edge. But, once, you hit, I'd say, about 9,000-10,000ft. it starts getting a little hairy. There's not guardrail on any section of the road, and the majority of it runs right along the cliff edges. We're talking about drops anywhere between 1,000-2,000ft. in some areas. The roads s**t, too. There's a section that has a sign that says "road damage", and it's like a mogul course for a car. After that, it's smooth, but, it's crumbling off the edge of the cliff... Mountain roads are fun, aren't they?

Mystical King Progdor Mystical I havent been here in ages but heres my baby! That is a very sweet lookin' car. Not if I can help it. While on the subject of classic cars, I had a dream a while back I bought one of these: Which is kinda funny because there are two of them for sale in the local area.
