"This car is considered to be a parts car that runs and drives."
 
At least they are honest. I am amazed at how those seats look, they have to be worth something to someone.

which part made you choke? The condition or the ludicrous price?

Both the price and just the thought of spending $100k on a Mustang restoration. The nice price/crack pipe listing on another site today is an old, rough Aston Martin. THAT'S a car to spend $100k on. I know, it's not that hard to spend, but to expect to recover it when they sell a Mustang is, to me, nuts.

I think even at their peak, the nicest 4-speed v8 '65 verts were fetching like $35k. So, yeah, restoring one yourself and trying to sell it is financial suicide.

Well maybe if it were a genuine K code GT convertible w/ 4 speed. But it's not.
 
It's not even a 64 1/2 Mustang, because Ford never made such a car. All early Mustangs are 1965.

yeah, you and I have agreed on that point before. Even the ones built in April '64 were still titled as '65 cars.

If the car's year is stamped on the title, it's a pretty good argument I'd say.

I didn't know you could get a 289 in the 1964 1/2 early 1965 Mustang. I thought initially, you could only get a 170-6 or 260 V-8, and in the "proper" 1965's it was the 200-6 or 289 V-8?

#24374 of 25638 Grand Wagoneer by lemmer

Watching my friend's new project. It looks like fun. He found an '89 Grand Wagoneer with an owner in dire need to sell it. He bought it for $2200. It appears to be rust free and the chrome, paint and wood stickers look good from 20 feet away. The interior is thrashed. Three different kinds of tires. Tons of little issues, but seems solid.
 
At this point, it needs a new ignition module, sway bar bushings, power steering gear box, a/c "needs charging", speedo cable, linkage from throttle to tranny, and a rear window tailgate switch.
