Cheers Brian, i'm sure he's seen it, cause he's got notifications turned on on all online selling sites, he also prefers black! 

[Xrayman]

Yeah, I'm looking too - but only looking, cause after I sold mine 3 years ago, they are selling for $20,000 to $30,000 more than what I sold for

Yep, used to be able to pick up a really nice 67-68 fastback for $50-60K then all of a sudden they jumped to $75-85K.

God damn!

Why the sudden interest; the re-release of the Bullitt perhaps?

I guess the exchange rate had something to do with it as well.

When I said "sudden" it was probably more like 6 months to a year starting late 2016 to early 2017. 

I reckon Bullitt mania would have had something to do with it but also for whatever reason the supply of cars up for sale from that period has dropped off quite a bit as well.  2 years ago there would regularly be half a dozen 67-68s on CarSales at any given time, now it's typically only a couple.

That's still rather sudden, lol.

That'd be because more people are holding on to them. I wonder why that'd be the case more so than say 65-66's.

[Jason67]

Not as many 67-68's in Aus as 65-66's so supply v demand definitely has an impact

[birdman]

An Iconic shape, hands down!

An Iconic shape, hands down!

lol, as is the 65/66 which I prefer but I really dig the 67 fb rear slope from roof to tail; looks very tough from behind.

Magnums & Foose wheels. 2600 stall and new C4,  new pipes ,pacemaker headers, when I did the engine. Owner as a lot of original paper work from the US, Pretty nice car. Very tidy paint really nice like Tahoe Turquoise sort of colour, engine bay body colour as well. Own is interested in selling for the right $ far as I know.

Hey Birdman, give Showbags a call......

Ah yes, i'll show my mate some pics first. Totally forgot about him 
Thanks Matt

Another one gone and asking price was $86K!

These cars are commanding big $$$... 

[67FBGT]

he also prefers black!

I wouldn't think he can afford to be too fussy on colour, not many black ones around I don't think.
Also, has he got a realistic budget?
Not just condition but GT vs non-GT, big-block vs small-block, stock vs resto-mod, amount of factory options, etc etc etc will affect the asking price.

I think John was referring to my black '68 J code GT 4 speed that could be for sale for the right price... 

[Xrayman]

Either I keep waiting for the lotto win  or I will have to consider another year/model if I'm ever going to have another mustang 

[SXTY8]

You could always jump on a plane to the Land of the Septics as they're a bit cheaper over there.

Either way he's going to have to up the anti by around $20k. Until you really start looking then you realise the price hike.

I agree but i don't play Lotto etc
