1969 Mustangs - availability and value
« on: May 18, 2021, 12:30:48 pm »
I'm trying to get a feel for current values of 1969 Mustangs. This is the type of car I'm looking for. I'm confident the price paid for this one was justifiable. What exactly was it about this car that made it so valuable ?   https://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/2021-shannons-autumn-timed-online-auction/LB57FFN9DY9ZC073/?fbclid=IwAR3dbuGm-KMRELqZkEZ2OZXid_0haXsftEh6h4vENN1ELLkyi1ZSulaBYFM

That car looks great - I'm assuming that the RHD conversion was well done.

Much of the value is buyer dependant - if the buyer:
1] wanted a great colour combo that looked great
2] wanted big-block mustang
3] wanted a shaker car
4] didn't care about originality (shaker, rear sway bar and an oil cooler on a S code for examples??)
5] had a lot of money burning a hole in his pocket

then there's a seat for every wallet.

To be fair, this was really 428CJ or SCJ pricing for a top quality restoration, nice colour, OEM panels, 4-speed, original parts (valve covers, distributor, air-cleaner, oil cooler setup, Carter X fuel pump, snorkel S-Tube and heat shield for example) would justify that price. The seller got a GREAT price, the buyer got a lovely car.

Best of luck to them both....

i think that is where the market is now for a GREAT car, be original or not. for that money I would want a 4speed R code 428. Look at Ozzie muscle cars, any Ford or Holden coupe, GT or GTS is over 200g for a GREAT car
