Thanks. I've studied eBay completed auctions and it's just hard to find a true comparable car. There are basket cases, (which this car is not), and rusty "projects" sitting in farmer's fields + a lot of non-original low value coupes and of course beautiful restored cars with all the right options that pull good $$.
This car could be running and road worthy in 1 or 2 days. It was her daughter's first car @ 16 and was bought in nice condition, then crashed and basically thrashed by said daughter. It has nice, (but not big $$), options and is completely intact and correct other than aforementioned bolt-on performance stuff.
I really love early Mustangs, even coupes, and have always wanted to restore one. They are very basic machines compared to our beloved 911s and absolutely everything is available for them in decent quality reproduction parts. This is why zillions of them have been restored compared to other old cars. I was thinking somewhere around $2k for this car, maybe a little more. Sure, it would be great to get it for less but that's the real value of it. She lives right off a busy shopping street and people knock on her door almost everyday wanting to buy it. That's a good reason to sell right there.
