How Much I Paid For My 1966 Mustang

Hopefully this helps when looking for a Mustang project for yourself. Thanks for watching!!

Location, plays a huge factor in price. A running and driving Mustang coupe for under 5 grand is cheap.

$3, 200 is astonishing in this inflated market. Everyone else wants five figures for rusted out shells that are about as strong as three day old crackers that have completed their transformation from steel to completely made of rust and bondo with no floor left.

Nice project. Must be a lot more fun for you to work on your own ride. You get to make all the calls and if "good enough" is good enough, no one is going to demand you do it differently. I'm really looking forward to following the build.

Awesome. I look forward to the videos to come. I've dreamed of picking up my 66 coup project for years while raising a family. I've owned it since college and drove it for years as a budget car and had to put it in mothballs when the family came around. Now the family is grown and out, so I can make way for the restomod project. During the years I've prepared for this by putting my project down on paper, so I'm pretty realistic with where I want to go with it.

Hey Mr Peterson big fan of what you do .i picked up my 65 mustang for 3 grand as well but you beat me with the extra parts you got that's awesome . Mines about the same in rust only on the floor and didn't have front or back windshields but the pony interior is still in great condition got the glass off offer up for 300 im hoping to keep my budget at 5 grand in total me doing all the work . Just keep doing the videos like the content stay up sir .👍

Pretty cool. My first car was a 1966 forest green mustang (289 motor) just like this. My Dad originally bought it new off the lot in 1965/66 and told me the MSRP he paid was $3250. After having the car in our family for I guess about 30 years, he sold it for exactly what he paid for it new: $3250. I think he got a kick out of having had a car for 30 years and then breaking even. He had a funny saying, when people would ask him how he liked his Mustang: "Oh, it's a great car, but I've had to replace everything on it 3 times" haha :-) Good luck with your project over there! Fun times.

Enjoyed your take on the range to stay in when shopping and things to look for

There’s no doubt that you’re at least the best in the business putting these mustangs together man especially as bad as you’ll take one on! I

It’s really good of you to share your knowledge and experience with us and help us fix our cars you really make good videos well spoken very well presented man thank you

Exactly! I bought my 69 coupe from Texas for 3500$. With bad tires and brakes but minimal rust 👍

Thanks for sharing all of “as is” condition details.
Especially the price.. Awesome 👏 to have gotten the brake kit and some other parts.. I have a 65 driver coupe myself… It great fun, to drive it and park just about anywhere, and walk away..
Looking forward to the next installments..God bless..

Nice car, sir. It’ll be a great ride no doubt. Keeping it stock is a good move. That’s me speaking in hind sight. I have a 68 coupe restomod. 347, Mustang 2 front end, 8.8 dif and the list goes on. I redid a 76 F150 4x4 Ranger trim, factory air, 360, 4 speed manual. Bone stock. Great starting, so smooth running and dead reliable. Guess which one I drive. I have to say now when I hear big cammed loud muscle cars I’m over it. Keep up the good work! Love your channel

Looks like car has manual steering. Great road feel when moving. Most people today would not like to steer it when parking or starting out. Need to mention to check cowling. A major rust place and difficult/expensive to fix. I spent $4500 on a 66 coupe T code. Six cylinder suspension with a 289/4spd 15 years ago. Had to replace floor pan from Toe boards to rear seat riser. Most of us novices need to be careful as alot of replacement parts are chinese junk

Valid point for a build video.... tips on what to build, what the end product a person is expecting V/S what they can afford.

Now I personally love it when you save a car that would normally DOOMED... I have in my time seen too many get crushed... and they should not have been... desirable cars that are gone now ... Mostly because the person could not afford to fix it .

The mustang is a fantastic car for a DIY guy with some good knowledgeable and a minimal amount of skill . Most of the time is good planning and patients, not get into a hurry, I have seen cars get bought up after a lot of the Hard work was done... Keep up the great work .

[justinstrickler]

Looks like a great build-to-drive project! You have now inspired me to do the same plan for my daughters car

[dalepeterson]

You'll sell before it's completed. I've heard (I'm going to keep this one) since you were 15 yrs old son, do you remember your first mustang - 93 fox body conv. Sold it to Bill Miller from carlisle collector cars.

[gmeyer]

Love the new direction you are taking. Can see the excitement in your eyes. All the best, Ben!! Been with you from day 1.Glenn in AZ. I have always want to do, own a mustang. But 65, will enjoy the experience through you. lol 😊

[DSmith]

Yup, if frame rails and shock towers are in good shape, other issues are pretty easily negotiable.

[jayawells]

You have a great channel, I have a 66 fastback that I'm doing, alot of work but I love it, got it for 3, 000
Haven't done much to it lately, but have some great plans for it. Again a great place to watch. I'm having a little problem with the doors fitting right, but I think you did a show on them

[jordanochristopho]

G'day from Australia! I am in the process of restoring my 65 coupe aswell. Mine has rust in the doors (exact same spot as yours) and in the trunk. Going for a 'cheap' build aswell! Enjoying your videos mate. Keep it up.

[mickeyparson]

Thanks for the video! Good to know I am not off on what I think cars are worth, to me $3200 is the perfect price but most I see that are worse are $10k-$15k firm, really crazy but they are coming down since the market is kind of flooded. I am dying, $2k for a 69 fastback.
