Hi Guys,
Realizing that the Wife will need another daily driver in the next year or so.......................a crazy thought just entered my head, one that I know she will be all over so I want to get a rough idea to see if it even remotely affordable before I tell her about it--she does NOT take disappointment well.
Thinking of a '64-'67 Mustang with a late model 5.0 motor and a T-5 or a Tremec. Not looking for a show car or a racer, just something that she could drive every day that would knock down decent mileage if we took it for a 200-300 mile summer trip. We can do most of the work ourselves including paint and interior so it doesn't have to be pretty when we get it but rust free would be a must ( I remember working with my Dad on several rust buckets over the years and it was never worth it). I'm sure that it would end up with an old school set of GT40 heads/intake and long tube headers with a 3.73 gear in the back (just like our '93 FOX started out with--and now it's knocking on the 8 second door and it'ts still street legal!!) but that would likely be all it would get as far as upgrades are concerned.
So....................the question is, what would I have to pay to find a rust free roller that needs paint and interior. And, how rare would a find like that be??
Thanks!!
