67 mustang by the barn find

In the middle of nowhere in orange county ny this is what I spotted outside someone's barn. Knocked on the door to make an offer on this diamond in the rough but no answer. I had to check this car out before leaving hopefully without getting shot. All original 289 4 speed power steering power brakes and a console. Engine looks like it was never out no headers no rot no dents. Inspection sticker says 1989. I want this car. ... Check it out

Nice....fastback! whew.
Good luck to you.

I knew you'd like that one

I totally agree. My guess there is no dollar amount to let the car go. But I have to try very delicately. I will be there again this afternoon

Good luck on saving that one.

or it could be one of those "i'm gonna fix it up one of these days" ten years later still rusting away till there's nothing left to restore then they haul it off for scrap.
my neighbor's have a car like that everyone asks she says no she told me she was offered $15,000 and turned it down it's a 70 challenger (looks in about the same condition as that mustang. of coarse it took me 5 years of bugging her to sell me her corvette they finally decided to sell it for $2,500 or $2,000 to me  so i bought the vette
 but good luck don't give up!

Best of luck on your journey to purchase! Be sincere to the owner, that is how I ended up purchasing my field find. This car had a interesting history. I listened to his widow for over 2 hours telling me all about it. she knew I was serious about preserving her deceased husbands memory. 

For 10 years I've been trying to get this 73 Montego Q code 4 speed. I am hoping he will release it to me soon. For many years, he has been saying that he was going to fix it up someday...

I know of a Torino GT fastback sitting outside a trailer near here.

He said it was originally blue but I saw no signs of that. Doesn't make sense. Anyway what do you guys think it's worth?

wow thats like my dream project!! . i think its worth 4k-10k depending on the rust.

I don't know what its worth rick... but did he have any wiggle room off the 12k?

at least you can get any part you need for this car. and btw... leela, my 73 sportroof looks white to me, but joe told me it was blue and so does the color code... maybe really faded.

There is nothing wrong with a 289 car. Mine is. They still bring good money. Rick, I think the car is worth 8k all day. As long as the title is good. There are alot of people who really want these cars. Socal is right about the Elenors though. I have battled off many of those people. The worst thing about it is when they change the tailight panel. These are one of the best looking tailight panels ever made on a car. Save the car Rick.

Nope, nothing wrong with a small block 'Stang. However, the real money is with the big block cars. This one has had the jambs sprayed, the inside metal door panels and the dash. Points to watch out for.

That being said, the owner most likely is not interested in selling for whatever reason. I'd bet that he would find an excuse even if you offered $12k (no title, no keys, family member wants it, etc.). If he is willing, see if it has been cleaned the next time you drive by. Usually, an owner will spruce it up a bit if he has a serious buyer on the hook. Wash, install the hubcaps, clean around it. That kind of stuff. If not, he figures he's scared you off and will try to hide it from view. Bet it gets moved...
