I am looking at a ‘66 Ford Mustang, a automatic 289 coupe. I really need a pricing guide like a checklist. I would like to know what makes it more valuable and what makes it less valuable. It would be great if someone could provide a checklist for all options of the car, for example if it’s a V6 or a V8, because I’m not sure, or if there are certain aspects which need restoration, like rust, or cosmetic issues. The owner is reluctant to take the time to do the research, so I gave up on asking hopelessly for 6 months – and go ahead and do it for him. It does not run, and he says it needs to be restored. It will definitely need a new paint job, and likely some cosmetic work if not a lot. I dont know anything more than you know at this point. I’m not even 100% positive it is a 1966, but anything you can tell me helps, thanks.
What I know at this point is it hasn’t been run in 20 years, I don’t know why yet. It has been sitting in a garage under boxes, so we’ll see about any rust. It should have all original parts but I will confirm that too. I’m not sure, but isn’t rust supposed to be less of a problem here in California? Unfortunately, my pockets are anything but deep, so I’m not sure how well this will go but… I will find out and update later today hopefully about everything, like original parts, miles, reason for not running 20 years ago, rust and body condition, AC, make sure it is a V8, and a 1966 model for that matter, and get the VIN number, or other ID numbers I can find. Thanks for your help so far!
