Thanks for the advice. They will not budge on the price, I just called and they said "no we won't lower the price, we'll just put a little more into it and sell it next summer". So I guess I'm still looking. Might have to wait until the Portland swap meet next April. Wade

Thank you, I have been looking and the prices seem terribly high. I have also seen folks on ebay auctions not even be able to sell their cars because they are asking too much. Maybe I should wait a bit longer for folks to get more realistic with their prices. Unfortunately there is just not many available in this area. I like being able to look at the car and am hesitant to buy from out of the area. You're right the drag pack option was only on the 428, and the guy did not know what he thought he knew. He honestly believed himself and believed a lot of other non true things he was spouting off. But you said $5k, I've seen a lot of non running 69 mach 1's without a drivetrain selling for $5k. At least I see them advertised like that, I wonder if they are actually selling? Well I guess the fact it was in a previous wreck creates a lot more work to restore the front end. I might shoot him an offer of $7k if numbers match, pending Marti report, and see what happens. Thanks, Wade

Hi group, I'm new and just registered here. I've been looking for a mustang project car and have narrowed my choice down to a 1969 mustang. The prices seem all over the place. I just looked at one today and was hoping someone could give me an idea of the value of it. They said 351 4v "drag pack" car, "that's why it has drum brakes, it rolls down the dragstrip easier". Not sure if the guy knew as much as he thought he knew about mustangs. I didn't want to correct him on that because he was dead sure of himself. They were already getting defensive as I have been thoroughly inspecting and picking apart the car. It had the 4 spd toploader replaced with an automatic and they still have the factory tranny for it. It needs new front suspension parts such as control arm bushings. the 4bbl is a bit leaky, the dash in the car is loose and needs to come back out to fix a few wiring issues. The hood was replaced with a factory replacement from a donor car, same with the drivers door. They said the drivers door had a crease in it but still kept it. The son and wife were there and Dad had them put away in the storage building, Dad was at work. I was unable to look at the original drivers door. I would also assume considering the previous damage on the left inner fender and core support, that the left fender has been replaced too. It needs exhaust, carb rebuild, front suspension, assuming it would need brakes all around, decent paint and then it should be a daily driver while waiting for a full disassemble and restoration. has power steering, no a/c and drum brakes. There were pieces of angle iron welded to the shock towers and was told that they were "put there to prevent the shock towers from cracking". The VIN has 9R02M and they are asking $14k for it, that seems a bit high to me. Here are some photos: http://differentdrum.org/mustang/ also I did a short video of the engine running: http://differentdrum.org/mustang/MVI_0027.AVI Thanks, Wade
