As a boy I remember the birds flying south in Michigan..Nice old Mustang..

[@manabouthome]

It's that time of year. Thank you for watching!

[@blippacg]

That Mustang is in remarkably good condition. I have a '67 coupe, frost turquoise with the vinyl top.

[@manabouthome]

It's very good for it's age, and lack of maintenance. The '67s are very cool. Thanks for watching!

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Looks like you've got a great car to start with! :)

[@manabouthome]

It does look that way! I have other projects that will take priority until they're done. So I just want to get this car road worthy, so I can drive it as is, next Summer. After that I can start doing some upgrades. I've watched some of your videos! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jhillier449]

if its in good shape and matching numbers this car is worth big money

[@manabouthome]

It's in very good original condition for it's age... a rare find. It appears to be box stock except for the dual exhaust system. I haven't had a chance to look at numbers yet. I plan to drive it next Summer. After that, I'll make some decisions. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@manabouthome Nice car. Not sure about the big money. Coupes are not the big number cars. That goes to the Fastbacks. I have a 1968 Mustang coupe and love it. It is not worth the high numbers and I not into going the full stock restoration where the bigger money lies. Enjoy the car, seems like you are already are :)

@@rode4460 I was watching a KZbin today, where a story was being told, and a character in the story asked, "You know someone who has $50?" Heh. "Big money" is a relative term depending on who you're talking to. I'm definately aware that if this car was a fastback, it would have cost $10,000 more than it did! And I wouldn't have it now. I was looking for a solid driver to enjoy, not a show car. My first experience working on a Mustang, was a '68 coupe. My buddy was putting a 4 speed in, to go along with the 302 he had. We were having a devil of a time aligning the bell housing to the block. Then I noticed his bell housing only had 5 bolt holes! That's how we learned the difference between a 5-bolt and 6-bolt bell housing, back in 1977. That turned out to be a great car when we finally got the correct housing. And a good memory. Yes, I'm enjoying the Mustang a lot, and can't wait for next Spring so I can finally drive it on the road. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@manabouthome Yeah, not big money for a coupe. That car as it sits after the video is maybe $12k - $15k. That's where my '67 is valued for insurance and mine has had some restoration work.

[@manabouthome]

@@blippacg Yeah, "big money" to one guy isn't big money to another. I paid less than you estimated. But it still needs work... needs lifters just to drive it. A clutch. Shocks ( there's actually one bent in the rear), and some other things. I bought a 4-speed to put in it. But that's a want, not a need. Thanks for watching and commenting!
