I think coupes are too plentiful to mess with one that has several serious issues. Id be saving a few more bucks and getting a real clean coupe or keep looking for a fastback if I had to do that much work. In answer to your question no more than 500.

As a comparison for you I just purchased a 69 coupe. It has already had all the body panels replaced new fenders, floors, fiberglass trunk w/spoiler and quarter extensions, new dash pad, new bumpers, running 351 really only needed put back together and new brakes but im doing a resto on it to get it complete. I paid $2,000

Way too much work for a coupe. Maybe buy it to part out and make some money, but even that is more work than it is worth. Definitely no more than $500.

Thanks for the feedback. That was exactly what I needed to hear. He is asking 1700 and from what I could tell that was a little to much.

I agree with everyone, for a T code coupe that needs absolutely everything the cost of even just all the parts with all your own labor will probably exceed the finish value of the car unfortunately. It is a project for sure, a long term one, so if it is more about the journey with your son and the opprotunity to learn every skill required for a complete restoration more so then the value or total investment required then I'm all for seeing another one get saved and brought back from the dead but it becomes a long and very frssutrating journey when you start to get in over your head throwing good money after bad with litte return.

 

Welcome to the site BTW!

Thanks. It defintely is going to be for the time and learning experience with my son.

It's a parts car in my opinion.

[stangme428 33]

agreed, parts car, lots of rust, granted you will replace almost everything under the car anyway, i would look for a bit longer.:sweatdrop:

I suspect by the fact that you are asking the question of what it is worth that you and your son are not in the trade or well skilled in fixing motor vehicles. On that assumption I will do what I always do and warn you off "project" cars like this one. Try to find something that is already in "ok" driving condition. The cost of these sort of cars are not that much more than "projects" and will still give you and your son plenty of experience and quality time together (believe you me!!). They will also give you the benefit of having something to drive and play with to keep the motivation up.

 

There is nothing worse than getting half way through a project and loosing interest just because it becomes too much. And it most probably will.

Definitely a money pit. Walk away from it. There are better cars to be had, this vehicle is only a parts car.
