    Dallas CList clone for 100K.Means mine worth 50K.NOT!

    http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/4070024723.html

    Guess I should contact my insurance company and let them know that the value of my Mustang just shot up a lot.
    My bodywork is "hand-fused" too!
    Does he/she actually think that this build commands "Elanor" or "continuation series" dollars?
    Good luck with the sale...tho I am skeptical for some reason.

    Not a fan of the interior or steering wheel. Not a fan for the fender flares either!!! But to each his own. $100,000 seriously!!! And what does 950 original miles mean??? Original since the car left the factory? Or since it was rebuilt??? I'm sure someone with pay $100,000 for it. Side note, you really think he has $350,000 invested in this car??

    1966 Mustang Fastback K-Code,289,T-5, 9-inch rear with 3.50 gears.

    If your toolbox only consists of a checkbook and a credit card, it would be easy to spend that much money. That doesn't make it worth it though.

    Yeah, $350K invested and he's using a FREE CraigsList ad to sell it.

    Let's see...hmmm...if I billed MY time at.. say $90 to $100 per hour, I bet I "have $350K" in my car. Also, at those calcualtions, it would mean that Mustang Steve has well over a half million in his '66.

    Just put the Ugly thing on Monkeywrench Garrage , they can sell it fer $100k. O'course the owner won't see any of that money, though he could say his car sold  for $100k.

    I wonder whose wrecked boat provided the donor interior.

    Definitely not my thing, but I can certainly appreciate the level of craftsmanship that went into it.
    Looks to be a very high quality build, just a little too over the top for me.
    350k? Easily, if you had a shop like the old Boyd Coddington shop, or similar build it for you.
    Would I own it? No.
    Do I have to hate on it because it doesn't fit my image of what an early Mustang should be? No again.
    Are there parts I could adapt to my own car, maybe a little more subtly? Sure.
    WE all say "It's YOUR car, build it how YOU want", but then dog on those who take them in a direction different than our own......

    I think people have a right to say what they do and do not like about the car. But the biggest complaint seems to be the amount of money. I personally do not believe they spent 350K and then decided to turn around and sell if for 100K. Screams car salesman hyperbole to me. But hey who knows, and yeah to each his own...

    Oh and "hand carved front and rear fender flares", really? Hand carved to me sounds like Bondo

    As much as I don't like modified bodies on Mustangs, I kind of like the rear fender flares.  They look subtle compared to alot you see.  Engine looks tasteful. Interior... someone took too many drugs that day, but he may love the heck out of it.  Which begs the question of why sell it?

    Overall, not too shabby, if you can get over the interior.  And that is pretty easy to change back when you get right down to it.

    I can't help but wonder if that car is like alot that I see.  The owner buys a non-running Mustang, then spends years and thousands of dollars on it only to find out is still doesn't drive and corner as well as his kid's new Hyundai.  Then the disappointment sets in and he sells it to go try out something else.  That is the danger of buying an old car to fix up when you haven't actually driven an old car in a loooonnnggg time.  It will not be the same as you remembered it.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Along the same lines, my step dad told me I wasnt old enough to drive that car (speaking of my 65)!!
    I dont expect my car to handle like my 06 mustang HOWEVER!  In 1965 the interstates didnt have the paths wore in them!!  that is what really bothers me more than anything!!

    There is a lot of custom Metalwork in that thing, but that dash gushed cluster is horrible.  The pass side looks like it is an interesting shape. Kind of a streetrodder gone crazy build on a mustang. I appreciate all of the hard work and custom touches.....but not my thing.
