First-generation Mustangs are relatively popular in the restoration business, and collectors' appetite for fully overhauled models is at record levels.
Someone on eBay proposes a very intriguing project, though this time, you're not getting a single Mustang but three of them. Regarding engines, seller truri_3026 has four units, three of which are V8s in unknown condition.
Let's delve into details to see if these Mustangs are worth a chance.
The seller did not share specifics on the three cars, but the photos speak for themselves. The cars exhibit a rough shape, probably after spending decades in the field. The rust has already claimed its toll, so expect damaged undersides. One Mustang has wrecked seats, while another sports good (but dirty) back seats.
I'm trying to say that the trio could help you build one almighty Mustang, though you should inspect every car in person because I'm confident they've already served as donors. In other words, expect lots of missing parts.
1965 and 1966 Mustangs are very similar but not indistinguishable. The exterior features differences, starting with the honeycomb grille (used on the 1965 model) and ending with the emblems installed on the quarter panels. Ford also used different intake grilles.
The engine lineup of the two model years is identical, as Ford used the same engines on the 1965 and 1966 Mustangs.
These three Mustangs come with four engines, one of which is a 302 V8 whose condition is unknown. The lineup also includes a six-cylinder unit, again as mysterious as possible in terms of working condition, and two other V8s you'll need to decipher.
The 302 was not available on the 1965 and 1966 Mustangs. Ford used this engine for the first time on the 1968 model – it installed the V8 on F-code Mustangs. The engine used a 2-barrel carburetor and developed 210 horsepower. A 4-barrel version upgraded the power rating to 230 horsepower on J-code models.
These Ford Mustangs and all the extra parts, including the engine and several other components you'll get in the sale, won't go cheap despite flexing a rough shape. After all, you're buying not one, not two, but three different Mustangs and four engines. Of course, their mysterious condition does not help, so if you're interested in discovering more information about them, you should buy a plane ticket to Malta, Idaho, to see them in person. It's also the only way to determine the engine's condition and find more specifics about the unnamed V8s.
Otherwise, the bidding starts at $10,000, and the seller did not enable a reserve. However, if you want to purchase all these goodies without a fight, you must pay $14,500 and then find a trailer because the Buy It Now option guarantees you're the new owner of everything in the pictures.
