getting a Mustang at a pink Maytag price

[bpetersxx]

If I read this right you only get the shell of the car and you have to supply everything else

For 15000$

I guess the pink maytags are a bargain

NOT

Saw this post on the VW club.

Am I the only one that thinks thats an AWESOME deal??? My dad said he would buy one in a heartbeat, the mustang nut that he is.

I think it's a good deal too taking into account what a new specialty car costs today. Think of how solid a brand new body would drive once fitted with a modern suspension, engine and electronics! In the end it might be cheaper than what a concours original 65 or 66 Mustang sells for.

That's not that bad, if you have a Mustang GT convert that's rusted through, or similar, it takes care of a multitude of problems.

I'll hold out for either a '63, '65 Impala or '67 Camaro if they should become available.

I want a ready-made '70's Dodge Challenger body & interior...! Hope it will fit a "new model" platform, although it will definitely need a HEMI (& a big displacement) so it will go!!!!

Early Mustang Guys Are Lucky . . .

Because there are so many cheap restoration parts available for their cars. When restoring less popular cars it is common to take a complete but rusty or damaged car with a desirable body configuration and then buy a straight, non-rusty version of the car with a less desirable cofiguration to act as a donor for floorpans, wheelwells, and other vulnerable parts. An example might be to start with a rusty but highly optioned convertible and buy a low-end four door sedan for the donor car. The big problem with this approach is that there will be small differences in many components due to the different body styles, so the restorer will often need to take the good parts off the donor car, cut them up and make modifications before welding them into the car being restored. 15K can disappear very fast once this process is underway.

Mustang and Camaro....

.....guys are lucky, you can practically build one out of a catalog.
