The Abandoned 71-73 Mustang thread

[6972boss]

Found these two about 10 years ago forgotten on a farm. Both 72's the red on red mach was a Q code auto and the vert was a 302 auto. I bought them both and made sure they went to good homes.

they belonged to brothers that parked them and left them to rot. WHY? ?:shrug2::shrug2:

I saw 3 or 4 71-73s in a yard east of Keysville, VA. Is that anyone here??

I wasn't about to walk up into a stranger's yard to find out!!

I wonder if it's the same place we drove by when I was visiting her sister last month. Saw a bunch of Mustangs, but didn't notice any Clydesdales. I want to say it was along 360 between Keysville and Meherrin. Maybe it was the same 'yard? Oh wait - you were talking about someone's actual private yard - Dang, I wish I would've seen this before we went back there.

The prices in "Cars 4 Sale" seem cheap?

Or are unscrupulous inporters into the U.K vastly inflating prices?

Is it possible to pick up cheap fastbacks needing full restoration?

 

[Mister 4x4]

Define "cheap," and then define "in need of full restoration." :whistling:

I only paid $1600 for mine... and it was definitely in need of full restoration. rofl

For me as long as the body is solid and the motor is serviceable i am happy to take a project on. What price would a fastback come in at average

 

[Mister 4x4]

Hmmm - solid body and serviceable engine. I'd have to say to expect somewhere around $5,000 and up (depending on the model, options, condition, and even location, etc.).

A running car without crinkled and/or rusty metal is getting harder and harder to find.

 

[Pegleg]

Then my search focus should be Nevada. Thats where the last one came from

One would think this 72 Mach 1 is abandoned.

Nope, it´s your parts car.

And next to it is a Ranchero I´d like to have. :dodgy:

Mike, with magnums or with out?

Great looking Ranchero...what a killer deal you got on it too!

were those cars found at the bottom of the ocean?

 

[cudak888]

Probably found in Miami, the way things rot out around here...
