I am in looking for either a drivable, decent looking and running 67 Fastback/Coupe, or one that needs some restoration, but nothing too major, I'm not loaded with money, so light rust panels bombed out interior and ruined or no windows is perfect. As well all know with a low down set money amount..one can't buy a new Chassis, thus the Chassis must have no major rust and the axles can't be too bad. (I can always visit Dynacorn and RRS Australia again for bolts, and small things.)
I am willing to spend time doing a rotisserie restoration, nut & bolt.
But I would prefer to get a Drivable mustang that is in some need of repair.
Body damage is fine, doors, panels, etc, I can replace and repair those no problem, bad paint, damaged flaking paint is good too... Yeah you don't often hear of a new guy wanting a not-so-perfect mustang to play with... but meh.
I don't care if the Interior is RUINED, I was going to rebuild an Interior anyway with Sparco seats that I already have (Birth Day present from a mate..lol, he was getting rid of them anyway)
Basically, as long as the major parts are fine (from a mechanical point of view) nothing else matters..so long as it's replaceable.
When she's done..whether she be a restoration, or just a repair and repaint she's going to be fitted with a Ford 4.0ltr V6, Eleanor Body kit, Hood pins, GT 500 fibre-glass hood, new interior, 17" (or 15"..if the tyres I'm planning on are too deep.) Advanti S3 Stilo (

I'm pretty much making my own eleanor...but not eleanor, everything the same except most of the interior, the wheels and the hood.
I even have on order the French Steering wheel from "Gone In 60 Seconds"
I am looking at 3-5 grand for the restoration car, and maybe 8-14 grand for the Driveable car.. sorta beat-up being the 8 grand or lower.
I have been squizzing forums, websites etc, and keeping tabs on them, especially "Just Mustangs" dot com.
