- I have a 1973 Mustang Coupe that I am fixing up.
Well, this is my first car, a 70's muscle car. A 1973 Mustang Coupe. I am 15, no license yet, and decided it would be fun to restore a car. It needs relatively little body work done besides sanding and painting. It needs plenty of interior work, reupholstering and a little wire chasing because half of the electrical doesn't work. It runs surprisingly well besides idling a little high and a bit of an exhaust leak, both pretty simple fixes. As for the rust, I have already taken care of most of that, there was a lot, but considering it is 50 years old it was about as good as I could expect. I paid 1,700$ for it, have in another 500$ in it and need to spend another 2000-3000$. I plan to drive it for a few years and then sell it, if I do a good enough job I could probably make a decent profit. This could be a good first car.
I'll try to keep you guys posted,
Travis

All the red you see is the original paint color, not rust.
