If your childhood dream is owning a Mustang and using it as a daily driver, you probably know there are plenty of models out there in tip-top shape, either preserved impeccably or already restored and brought back to mint condition.
On the other hand, you also probably know that such a Mustang doesn’t come cheap too, so if you still want to drive your dream car on a regular basis, the next best option is to get one that needs a total restoration.
The Mustang that we have here is said to be one of the cars that can still be saved, though as you’ll learn in a few seconds, it’ll probably require a ton of work to get it up and running.
First and foremost, as you can easily figure out by simply checking out the photos in the gallery, the rust on this Mustang is one big concern. If you’re interested in a purchase, just make sure you check out everything thoroughly before making an offer. Seller buy_it_now_classic_cars on eBay does say the car is very rusty, with the trunk likely to require some serious patching.
Very little has been shared about the engine, though we’re told it’s a six-cylinder unit. The Mustang was originally offered with a 170ci (2.8-liter) six-cylinder engine in 1964, but a year later, Ford replaced it with a 200ci (3.3-liter) developing 120 horsepower. So this 200 is the one supposed to put this Mustang in motion, though the seller claims it can very well be locked up from sitting.
According to the eBay listing, the good news is the car is pretty complete, so in theory, if you’re planning a full restoration, most of the parts are likely there. Not in their best shape, of course, but at least they’re there.
At the end of the day, this Mustang is definitely worth checking out, and we can only hope someone decides to give it a second chance and fully restore it. The car is listed with a $4,500 fixed price.
