1969 Mustang Coupe

[mad man marko 10]

I have inherited a 1969 mustang coupe from my dad's estate. Is is a 6cyl. (250) auto car. He purchased it brand new at Wilson Ford in Branford, CT he has been the only owner and I have the CT title that says new. I was able to get his plates into my name because of estate laws. Car has man steering and brakes and has 167K miles. I will email pics if interested. It is basically in number3- condition but has never been in any accidents.I havesome new parts for it.

I am asking $4000.00 OBO.

Car is located in eastern CT (Norwich area)

All classic car value guides follow the same basic rating scales. With 167k, no pictures and "I have some new parts for it," I am guessing it's condition 4.

 

 

1EXCELLENT/SHOW CAR A masterpiece, this perfect original car is in the same condition it was in when delivered new or better; or a professionally-restored car that has been restored to new or better than new condition. This car is not driven, and is transported to shows in an enclosed trailer. Normally stored in a secured, temperature and humidity controlled environment when not being shown, this car would be expected to come within a point or two of a perfect score when judged by professionals using current criteria.

 

2FINE An original car with very low miles that has been meticulously maintained since new; or an older professional restoration that has seen very limited use since restoration. Very close inspection by an expert may detect almost insignificant flaws or wear, but to most enthusiasts the car would look perfect. This car would come within several points of a perfect score when judged, and would receive the top award at a show unless a true Number 1 car were also being judged.

 

3VERY GOOD A well-maintained original car that has been driven limited miles over the years; is completely operable with all equipment working as designed, and at first glance may look perfect; or an older restoration that has been driven limited miles since the restoration was completed, and is showing minor wear and tear from being on display at car shows. Closer inspection may reveal minor wear on parts susceptible to showing wear, such as brake and gas pedals, and some thinning of paint and chrome finishes may also be noticed.

 

4GOOD Major components function properly, and the vehicle is completely safe to drive but may need minor repairs to mechanical systems. No parts are missing, but this car has been driven on a regular basis and may need a paint job and a few trim pieces rechromed or replaced. Amateur restorations usually fall into this category, as do very old professional restorations that have deteriorated due to use and exposure to the elements.

 

5RESTORABLE May or may not be running; everything on the car needs to be restored; may be missing minor parts, but the major components are there. Any body damage due to collision or rust should be minor; some surface rust may appear, but no holes should be present. The car is structurally sound, but needs cosmetic updating to paint, upholstery and top material, as well as repairs to various mechanical components.

 

6PARTS CAR Probably not running well, if at all; missing some major as well as minor parts; may have serious body damage due to wreck or rust through. Soft trim and rubber parts are most likely completely ruined from weathering and exposure. This vehicle needs many parts and has deteriorated to the point of not being a good candidate for restoration.

I am sorry for the delay in returning posts but we are frantically preparing for hurricane Sandy. I would guess that the mustang is really a 4 than a 3. I do have pictures to send but they are in my office and we most likely not have electricity or internet for erhaps a week. Last year Irene took out our power at home and in the office for 8 days. I promise to get the pics posted ASAP. I hope everyone affected by hurricane Sandy get through it safely and without damage.

Thanks for the interest
