Classic Car Buying Tips

We share some classic car buying tips, and use this authentic 66 GT Mustang as an example on how we EVALUATE a potential classic car purchase. Some cars are so much better than they look while the opposite can be true of others. Review our top 3 value attributes we consider before purchasing a classic and how this unrestored survivor rated. Then go on a test drive with us to see how the A-code 289 Mustang runs after 41 years of sitting. I think you'll be surprised!

Don't you just love buying from the original owner, they NEVER know what their car is worth! :) Even a long-time owner #2, same thing. I love it

[@geoffwhite5955]

Gday from Australia, I bought a 66 factory gt fastback (used you previous video to confirm) that is also “freak” as you call them. Vintage burgandy with parchment interior. Sat in a garage since 1978 in New Mexico and had only 24k original miles. All original parts and metal too and zero rust. Tyres were still dated 1978 and had to swap out anything rubber due to rotting away. Love her to bits. Happy to share some photos of my beauty if you like. She’s back in the road being driven. Thanks for making the videos. Cheers Geoff

Oh, that's awesome! Share some pics with us on Facebook or Instagram! We'd love to see :) I'm glad our video was helpful for you.

[@johnpapa4937]

Damn!!! I have an original 65 GT "coupe" 3 speed manual in Twilight Turquoise with all original parts and metal. I just rebuilt the diff. Low milage 59k car. Arrived in Australia from Florida in 2007. San Jose built DSO Seattle. Love it 😁It's featured on the Mustang Attitude site.

[@up-n-runnin377]

Super nice Mustang! It should be daily driven. I daily drive my 1969 Super Bee and love it.

[@QualityClassics]

Dude, that’s cool! 😁👍🏻

[@chadbailey7038]

Valuable valuable information. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@QualityClassics]

of course

[@bandagefreak]

Thanks for making this video - we are still on Corona lockdown here in the West Coast of Scotland and you really cheered me up! I've been working on my own '67 Mustang with all this free time - my next job is to figure how to replace the front cam bearing that disintegrated when I removed the cam! Watching this video made me think that it would have been fabulous to see you actually find and go to see this Mustang for the first time - just a thought. All the best and stay safe out there. :@)

[@QualityClassics]

Awesome! I’m so glad to hear that! All the best to y’all over there. 🤠👍🏻 We’re gonna get through this. Hope your project comes out well.

[@iancoxshall924]

@@QualityClassics I wouldn't be able to buy another! It is lovely though, I am in UK and follow your KZbin posts.

Omg! The noise! Great video. 👍👍👍

[@QualityClassics]

it did sound good

[@leeboat]

I also have a 1966 GT Fastback. Options include: A-Code, Springtime Yellow, Black Pony Interior, AC (missing), Automatic Trans, PS and disc brakes. Pretty much factory loaded. At some time rear quarter panels were replaced and there's a little rust in the floor and trunk floor, and around the battery. I am about to put it on my rotisserie and found that the front radiator core support back to the spring tower might have a little twist. Nothing major and I will be replacing the sheet steel in that area anyway. I paid $5000 for mine about 5 years ago. While not as factory fresh as yours, pretty darned nice.

[@QualityClassics]

Sounds like you probably got a great buy.

[@sixstringcity3931]

Wow….. I paid a only lil less for a 6cyl coupe daily driver 5 yrs ago also…. Nice find

[@charleysgarage]

These are some great tips, most of my channel is about correcting a lot of these issues.

[@Ryan-vm5to]

[@JamesKlafehn]

What did it sell for?

[@nowitsabadtime]

Love the mufflers, very snappy. Are they Ford original...

[@marktindall4753]

Can you show us the entire process to restore this car?

[@QualityClassics]

No sorry, we're going to be selling this car as it is. We like to be able to offer cars for sale from time to time that are extremely high quality cars but yet a little more affordable.

Can a 3 Spd.be Conv.to 4 Spd.,Just By Adding a Gear or Would 1st. & 2nd be Geared Too Low? Except for Paint,Looks & Seems to Be Pretty Good Shape.Can' t Say I've Ever Seen A 3 Spd.GT.Had A 3 Spd 71 AMX 360 & after I Conv.Stk.2 Barr.to "Dirt Track" 2 Barr. W/ Over sized Jets,Would Stay Up W/ Most Anything Red Lite to Red Lite,Back in the Day. Seems Classics or Muscle Cars From Colorado Would Be Parked Most of Winters,Because of Severe Winters, & Not That Much Rust.

[@QualityClassics]

We really like the 3-speed 👍🏻

[@marklesmarket]

Talk value please that’s also a top priority with classic car buyers. Thanks

[@QualityClassics]

the numbers are always on the move, any reference is soon dated

[@thivicc2683]

Whats the music at 9:50?

[@dwilliams8365]

Missing the correct handles on door missing wood trim that was with GT interior package missing correct trumpet exhaust tips. Easy to find these parts.

[@QualityClassics]

wood trim and the door handles you mention was only part of Pony interior , not GT

[@bullitt65]

So how much was paid for this 66 fastback GT? That would help your subscribers

[@QualityClassics]

We don't disclose our purchase prices, but I get what you're saying.

[@jugglejolt]

What's the black stuff in the trunk?

[@QualityClassics]

I think you are referring to the factory "seam sealer" .... this is how they came.

[@jugglejolt]

Thanks for the info. I recently purchased a 67 mustang that had this stuff and I was wondering what it was.

[@garygrinkevich6971]

Take a shot each time he says "des-hire-hability". We had 6 of these cars at one point and grandma gave them all away to "clear up space" 😏🤢 enjoy em today fellas!
