Hi all,
It's been along time since I posted here!
About five years I sold my '66 GT Fastback because I needed to liquidate assets as my wife and I were expectng our first child, (daughter) at the age of 40.
At the time I knew letting the car go was the right thing to do, although not necessarily an easy thing to do. I've missed her ever since.
Recently, I've been bitten by the Mustang bug again and my thoughts turned to my old car. I contacted the individual who currently owns it and found out that he would be willing to sell it back to me. I'm ecstatic at the opportunity.
That's the good news.
The bad news is this. Now as a potential buyer, I have a more critical eye of the car than when I was the seller. (Isn't that human nature?)
The current owner has generously stated he doesn't want much more that what he's put into it and has revealed that amount to me.
Would you folks mind looking at a large number of photos I took of the car just before I sold her 5+ years ago and let me know roughly what you think of her and her current market value? I highly value the opinions of the forum members here.
Summary of car:
'66 GT Fastback K-code.
Owned the car for about three years and believe to be legitimate K-code and GT based on features and speaking with previous owners including original owner.
Non-VIN #'d block.
This is a very clean daily driver car. Possibly a 2- car.
Some rust concerns on front frame rails.
Maybe rust (something..) just below disc brake reservoir on firewall.
Anyway, please take a look and let me know what you think. Here's a link to the pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/59201040@N02/
These pictures should be high resolution so you should be able to zoom in pretty good. BTW, most of the full view external pictures are on the 4th and 5th pages.
Thank you for any input.
I'm really really tempted to buy her back. The nostalgia factor is incredible. However, she's going to cost me a lot more the second time around. So I want to be sure that I'm doing the right thing.
