we are looking at a 67 playboy pink coupe today. it has a marti report. it supposedly has a sports sprint package, vinyl top, split bench, 289. we did some quick research and it appears 200-275 were produced. Are these stangs rare? Worth any $$$?

I figure rarity is determined by,"Who is it autographed by??"
Was it Miss May??

I think the color really limits the number of buyers to a very, very small group. If you want to own something just because it is very rare, there are alot of Edsels out there, fully restored, that you can pick up cheap. Since that number of buyers is smaller, I would expect, in my own twisted logic, that the price of the car would be less than a comparable car with a popular color scheme. I could be wrong... maybe there are thousands waiting for a pink Mustang to come to Market???
If you really like the color and the car, then whatever you are willing to pay is a reaonable price. Just don't expect to find a future buyer with the same likes very easily.
Can you picture yourself driving the car? If the intent is to show the car with its unique color and history, then you might have some fun. For a girl that likes pink, that would be perfect. My youngest daughter would love it, but she has no money to buy one.
One of the nicest 66 Mustangs I ever saw on Craigslist was pink like that (not original, though) and the rest of the car was very well done. They had a reasonable price on it and it stayed on CL forever trying to find a buyer. If it had been a more mainstream color, it would have sold really quickly. The guy poured money into the car making it exactly as his wife wanted only to hear her say "Gee, it doesn't drive like my Lexus". Now he is stuck with it.

good points, MS. Turns out the car is a one-owner with under 60k miles. It drives like a dream and will make a great, reliable driver. The entire interior is still like new. Best of all, it was repainted and is no longer pink! Good news for our son, who will be driving in about a year. Needless to say my wife sucessfully negotiated a reasonable price, mainly because it came from an area that salts the roadways. We have sheetmetal to replace for sure. But it will make a great family project over the next year, and to us, that's priceless. When the boy is out of highschool, mom will make it pink again and use it as a driver! Now we have a 65, a 66 and 67 mustang, two F250s, a F150, a ranger...see a pattern yet? I'll admit, we bought a 54 chevy 5 window last year. Guess they all can't be Fords.
Keep up the good work!
REMEMBER!!! When posting a question about your Mustang or other Ford on this forum, BE SURE to tell us what it is, what year, engine, etc so we have enough information to go on. |
