Thanks for the shout out! This is such a good reference! There are no cheap good Fastbacks out there.

DYNACORN DYNACORN fastback bodies $18, 6k.
Seal, prime, paint & bolt up parts.

OR, you could find a cheap coupe and just drive and enjoy it! That way you save even more!

I feel good about my 21k B2 project now !

I am just stunned at the prices that Fastbacks are commanding these days. I was very lucky/blessed. I got a 67 Fastback in 2003 with the luxury interior package, factory in dash AC, 289, 2 barrel with a c4 in Frost Turquoise. It was 95% all there and I got it for $2500. I had to replace the entire cowl panels and some other minors panels. I am restomodding the car but nothing that can not be undone. The car is just too valuable now to cut to pieces for a coyote engine or whatever.
I completely agree with the Coupe to Fastback conversion for the working man. Thanks for the video, it was very informative.

Now we know the risks associated with buying a “restored” car. Unless the previous owner has photographs proving the condition BEFORE painting you have to assume the worst.

Thoughts:
If you are looking for an OEM restore of a semi rare fastback with a matching number drive train then go with the best you can find existing fastback, but if you are looking for a modernized restomod then there is no reason not to go the conversion route. In fact I would say it is better to go the conversion route if you are going the restomod direction, since you are not potentially devaluing an original car.

Subbed. Guys, the coups are flying out of barns in the NE. Literal Buckets of rust going for 5K. I’m definitely feeling the pressure to get my dream build rolling. Your conversion estimated quote Is more than fair. Where are you guys based? I’m going to start watching your older vids.

[Alex-yiou]

It makes total sense. I sold my 68 fastback. Im trying to find a coupe here in phx az but they sell fast

[billyhansen]

Any way you could do a 351w upgrade info video for 67-68 stang, heads, carb, intake, head clearance ex.. whats the best bang for buck build. Please.

In high school i had a ‘65 fastback with a built 302 toploader 4spd and mach one front end….in the seventies during the gas crisis he had modified it and put the filler in the trunk and deleted the fuel cap on the back panel he owned a auto body shop ……fast foward to the 90’s my dad aquired for me …due to one condintion…that i got good grades and finished school ….long story short…..i fucked up!! He took the car and sold it….live and learn…..some 30 yrs later i now have a son that is months away from being 16 and he wants a mustang….my close friend has a ‘67 289 coupe that hes had for close to 30 years now….the car is pretty much done and his kids have no intrest in it….he told me its mine for $15k……so now i have a mustang to hold over my sons head and if he fucks up im selling it for $25k…….lol yeah im a chevy guy no harm no foul…but my wife had a ‘66 and ‘97 gt when i met her so i knew she would be on board with getting him a mustang….even though we already have 6 cars between us 3 of which have supercharged LS’s…my nova/c-10/ and cts-v…..then my duramax and tahoe…5 out of 6 are GM the 6th is a mbz so number 7 has to be a mustang…always comes full circle

I have to agree, after looking around here in rust belt Indiana the Ridiculous Prices people want for mustangs that have floor boards that the whole Flintstone Family can foot it down the road is crazy. Even the surrounding states are the same. I might just have to look into a conversation

[traxiii]

I kick myself every time I think about the fact that I sold my '67 390GTA Dark Moss Green Fastback back in 1988 for $3500. It had 179K miles, was a Zero rust CA car and I had rebuilt and upgraded the engine, and trans, replaced the carpet and headliner. It had an OK respray, but was a strong runner and driver. Wish I still had the darn thing...every darn day!

[danfoley]

That's crazy, dynacorn all new is 17500 advertised with doors and deck lid, only way to go imo

[arneminderman]

Great what you doing! Greatings from the netherlands.

[JA-smzf]

Thank you guys! This info is very helpful!!!

[mikeseldomridge]

Do you buy the coupes you use to convert over

[adriankaill]

For $18K buy a new body shell from Dynacron

[ruthlessreid]

I figured the same ten years ago and bought a new gt mustang 36k new an old one would've been 60k plus.

[tdnxeqj]

Could you give me measurements and dimensions of each part of that structure?
