hello all, I'm kinda new to this website. Good website (To mods and Admins)

Ummm, I have a neighbor that has a 1977 Mustang Cobra II, and i haven't talked to him yet, but i was wondering how much I should offer for it?

Now, he has it on the dirt, so its really old, but it still looks sweet. I dont think the engine works, and the paint is wore out and what not?

What should I offer him if the Engine works?
and what should I offer him if the Engine doesn't work?

Tell me what you think, Thanks in advance!

honestly it is only worth how much you want to give. if you see that it needs extensive work, but it is your dream car, then it would be worth more than a perfect car that you didn't want. honestly as long as you aren't in it to resale than give what you are comfortable, i gave 800 for my 87 ttop car that needed a lot of work, but it was worth it cause it was the only ttop car i could find

Actually, there is a good looking one on EBAY right now at $800.00

[Achilles_Force]

So, should I offer him $1,000 to start with?

Any more comments Please?

Why do you want it? transportation, retoration,modification or race, your dream car?
How much experience do you have with mechanical, fabrication and body work?
What size engine is in it a 4,V6 or V8.
How much rust? what does the interior look like? Are parts missing?
The Mustang II can be a great progect if you truely like the lines and potential for performance both in the turns and in the straight line BUT, it can be a nightmare if you are just looking to put it together as a daily driver. I am not saying it's not a good car but you have to know what you are getting yourself into. While some parts are available new from some sources, others are not. Plan on buying a lot of used parts from E Bay, some extremely high in price and in somewhat poor condition. Some parts are no longer available such as V8 Motor mounts and NOS ( new old stock) can exceed $400.00 IF AVAILABLE. Headersfrom Headman are $170.00 and will work but are not the best brand choice, Hookers are the best but are close to $700.00. Depending where you live, the junkyards may or may not be a good source, not 1 Mustang II in any Las Vegas junkyard.
I was luck to find mine locally in excellent shape for $ 1800.00 and althought I probably should have left it stock for resale purposes all original, I decided to modify it to my liking and car shows.
To buy or not to buy is a decision only you can make using the above criteria don't ask for advice, because you are the one that has to live with your decision. Worth? post some photos and maybe someone here can evaluate a value but again it's up to you. Here are photos of mine and a link to another Mustang II site which is very active. Hope this helps and good luck with your decision. Mustang II Network - 1974 - 1978 Ford Mustang II

Well, thanks for all the comments. If any one sees a good deal on Ebay for a 77' Cobra II, please be sure to let me know. You can tell me through here or E-mail me @ costarican209@hotmail.com cause I REALLY wanna buy a 77 Cobra II.

I'm not looking to do too much to it, but I'm willing to pay for an Engine, to get it Re-painted, and maybe change interior a little bit.

I'm only 16 years old, and I know how to program C++, PHP, and run XHTML with CSS, but i dont know a thing on engines.

I wonder if there is a place in which I could get a custome made engine made for the 77 Cobra II ^_^"
