Hi, I'm new here to the forums. One of the reasons I joined is that my dad wants to buy himself a Mustang (and of course I want to drive it too, since it has always been my favourite car too). I usually advise him on things, but there are still a lot of things I just don't know about.
However, there's a really nice dealer not to far away (in the Netherlands, Europe it's hard to find Mustang dealers), which gives you also a really good service. He has a line up of a couple mustangs which are of interest to us. One thing is he doesn't want to spend to much money on a car.
There is really nice '69 coupe which just has quite professionally been restored. He sells it for 13500 euro's. It has a 302ci automatic with either a 2 barrel or a 4 barrel carb (forgot to ask..., but I believe it’s an Edelbrock), so it has quite some horsepower but nothing too much. Further it has a dual exhaust system, powered steering but no powered breaking. The Mustang really Mustang looks nice and smells like new. My dad would also consider a repaint from green to red (which if he does would make the car about 16.000)

The second car is a '69 red Mustang Fastback Mach 1, which includes a rear window louvre, hood scoop (non-active, but I'll get to that), powered steering, disc brakes, dual exhaust system and a 351 CI Winston with automatic transmission. He said it has 250hp so I conclude it's a 2 barrel one.
However, there might be one problem (?? or not ??): it runs on LPG (=liquefied petrol gas) instead of regular gasoline. Now it would save us a lot of money driving it (since we pay over 7,50 dollars per gallon for regular gas and ‘just’ 3 dollars per gallon on LPG), but does that have any downsides? Does it make the car sound different (haven't been able yet to hear it), act different, does it have loss in horsepower? Also, how difficult is it to remove an LPG installation in order to go back to gasoline? Also, if it is a 2 barrel, how hard is it to upgrade to a 4 barrel? Just a new carburettor, or also new cylinder heads and I don't know what else to get some more kick out of it? A new air cleaner would be nice with that too (since the hood scoop is inactive, the air filter is connected by a tube leading to the air filter which is located down a bit further). How much would all that cost?
He sells it for 19.500 euro's and I believe it's worth the extra buck since it really is the right model (but I have to try to convince him as well).

The third car is a ’66 bright blueish silverish pony coupe model with an automatic C-code engine transformed into an A code engine. Nothing special to tell here. This one is 17500 euro’s

The fourth car is the most beautiful of all: a darkish blue (I believe it’s called acapulco blue) with white Le Mans stripes. This one also has a automatic C-code engine transformed into an A-code engine. Really suburb in it’s condition, but with a 27.000 euro price tag just too expensive.
