Where to find a mustang?

[YoungRestorer]

I am looking for a 60's mustang to restore. I would absolutely love it to be a dog, but having trawled ph classifieds, havent really found anything that has been restorable, as they are either dead or concourse condition. I wondered whether the lovely people here at ph could help me at all with my search, naming websites and the like.

How much money have you got to spend on buying the car? fastback, Coupe, Convertible? Year? engine size? What experiance have you got and how much money are you willing to spend on the project £20,000, £30,000?

Not a lot really. I plan for it to be a long term thing, and have about 4k to spend initially on the car. I really don't mind what kind of mustang, and have not much experience, but have a friend who has done this for ages

Anything even vaguely decent will not be cheap and so basket cases aren't either.

From £4,500...... as above don't expect a lot at that level. Hope you're handy with a welder

Sounds like your on to a winner there!

Why not save a bit more and buy something more sound? You'll be much happier patching up the odd bit of bodywork or crossmember here and there to learn on than jumping straight in and having to spend 3 days welding a chassie back together. Plus cars are for driving, if its going to take you 6 months to get through and MOT you'll be fed up and pissed off by the end.

I ship cars in specialising in mustangs, could probably sort you out with a project car if you want, all metal work complete etc and rolling with a core engine for around 5-6K, this woudl be a 65-66-67 coupe and about 8-10 for a good fastback project, pm me for more info.
