familyman;c-142287 wroteI do realise and the Mustangs were just an example of what I'd recently seen, to demonstrate who would blow $80k when there are literally dozens of other classic restored cars with similar or better 'street cred' selling for less than it's price unrestored. It's simply not worth $80k before even beginning restoration (and literally everything needed it). Just as a genuine GT Ford wouldn't be worth $80k in that state. Citing it's a genuine R/T and scoffing at Mustangs if it was @ $8k or even $18k, then sure. But at 80? C'mon...
There are lots of people who grew up driving a base model and always wanted the rt and are now grown up and willing to spend $$$$$$$$$$ to have their childhood dream again
Mustangs... go look what a hertz rent a race car mustang from the 60/70s sells for now with paperwork
