classic ford car prices

A:I have re-built many classic cars. Here is what i have learned as far as Mustangs go. If you buy a 6 cylinder car it will be a bare bones car. Most of the 6 banger cars were. If you buy one of these the best i can tell you to do is up grade it. It can cost more than what the car is worth redone if you go back stock 6 banger and don't change anything. If you do away with the 6 banger and go to a V8 like a 302 roller motor you will be bringing the worth of the car up. You can use a c4 automatic with the 302 roller. Update the brakes to power disk. If you can still find one of the old Ford Granada's in the junk yard you can rebuild the upper and lower control arm and use the spindle to convert it to power disk brakes. It all fits. These cars had the same front ends. If i am not mistaken the 8.8 rear from a newer Mustang will fit the older mustang with a little work. Then add power steering and vintage air nice paint and wheels and you will have a Mustang that you can get your money out of if you decide to sell it. In other words, Try to find a V8 mustang if you can with as many options as you can find. You will be ahead of the Mustang game that way. Also, Buy the straightest car you can. Make sure the floors are solid and the quarters are straight and no rust out. The straighter the car you start with the better off you will be. Make sure every thing is there. The old Mustang stuff is getting hard to get and more expensive. If you can find a turn key car your better off. Start by getting it running and stopping first. Once you have it running pull the motor and trans out and gut the insides. Send it to your body man. That way he can pull all the chrome off and have it redone while he is getting the body ready. Once the body is ready and paint applied have it taken to a reupholster shop and get the inside done. Once that is done it goes back to the body man to have the motor put back in. Most body shops will not guarantee the paint under the hood or fenders unless they put the motor back in. The car stays there until it's finished and all chrome is put back. It's a lot of work. The more you know how to do yourself the less it will cost.
