   I am not a fan of mustangs but they are always a good place to start with when restoring cars. The bodies range anywhere from 200 – 20000. You just have to shop around. They are a great first project because the parts are relatively plentiful & easy to come by and ford used a lot of the same parts from year to year & in other cars.

   this is a good choice for a restoration. However as popular as these cars are be expected to spend $2500-5000 for a restorable car. The variation depends on overall condition and location.

   From a frame and suspension perspective I think the car is total crap. The front ends sag, the towers collapse and they rust badly. For restoration I recommend a car with a full frame that was built to last. That mustang was not designed to go very many miles. Trade the 289 for a fairlane or a galaxy.

   Around $3000-5000, the 1965-66 Mustang’s are highly collectible cars, another alternative at a lower price would be a Ford Falcon or a Mercury Comet.

   they can be fun and easy to work on, plus parts are easy to get.

   Some thoughts, If you get a coupe, it’s easy to get more money wraped in it than it’s worth.

   Also, the 2+2 and converts are very expensive in any condition

   Here is a good group to join
