Hello again everyone!! It's been a while sense I've posted and hopefully this is the correct section. I don't have any updated pics atm because the car is getting some suspension work done. In the last 4 years the car has had a lot of mechanical and body work done. When I get some money I put it into the car slowly bringing it along. My question is am I going over budget. I see mach 1's with a 351c ranging from 10,000 for $40,000. How do I know what mine will be worth when it's done? I don't plan on selling the car anytime soon or when the car is done but it looks like I'm on track to put in about $35,000 to $40,000 into the car for the restoration. Is that crazy? I have no idea. Here's some info from the marti report:
1973
Dearborn, Sportsroof, Metallic Copper, Ginger Interior Vinyl, 2.75 Rear Axel for 9 Inch, FMX Trans, Cali Emissions, Power Steering , Sport Deck Rear Seat, Console, Power Front Disk Brakes, Bumper , Air Conditioner, Am Radio, Decor Group, Tinted Glass Complete, Power Windows
3,113 w/ paint code, 1.242 w/ paint/trim, 15,328 with engine tran combo, 1,902 DSO, 2,289 w/ power side windows
Now for what I have done to it:
Body Work Complete, No Rust, 351C Complete Rebuild, Bigger Cam, Upgraded Intake eld brock, 4V eld brock Carb, Aftermarket Ram Air, Shorty Headers, 2 1/2 Eld Exhaust, Rebuilt Transmission, Rear Disk Brake Conversion
Plan to paint Metallic Copper and Re do Ginger Interior.
So, if anyone can guess what it may be worth when it's done that would be great. Because I don't really want to put $40,000 into a $24,000 car.
Thanks so much! Happy Mustang'ing
