How rare would a 1967 mustang convertible with a numbers matching 390cid 4 speed manual be? Not too many of those around? What would that be worth?? Marti report included??

I think they made a little fewer than a thousand.
Price always depends on condition.
Good shape probably starts over $30K.

It really depends on the condition. Yes, if it is near mint with original parts it would be worth $30+. The fastback is the most desirable model for '67 based on pricing.

i remember one of those with an automatic being stripped and junked at the salvage yard i worked at in the mid 70`s .. wierded me out how the steering wheel would swing away when you opened the door ..or something like that ...

This car is actually only a 1 of 1 car now that I've seen the marti report cause of the 8trac that came from factory I think

HOSS429

do you have it or are you looking at it ?

Definatly a desirable car. 4speed is very rare since autos were extremely popular in the 60's and then to have that on a convertible is even more so.

almost any big block 4-speed car is going to be worth good money.

Market has taken a big hit right now with the economy talks but there are still people out there with money.

HOSS429

that is true .. i`m in the market for another 69 stang .. a nice driver but they are still 20 grand and up .. i`m a bit shy of that yet ..but it is a buyers market if you have a buck or two

Yeah, Im selling my Harley davidson so I can buy this car and restore it. It's sittin in the bush, but the guy said he'd sell to me. The only thing it's missing is the tranny but I was told that they aren't coded really so I could just search for one and put it in. It sounds like a hell of a car to me

Today I talked with a guy I know who has one fully restored.
He bought it as a basket case 20 years ago.
Took him a while, but he restored it to perfect full stock original.
He said it appraised for $60K in perfect condition.
They built 940 4sp. 390 verts.
His equipment also makes his 1 of 1 (i.e only one built with that exact equipment).

Oh boy. That's crazy, I didn't think that much?! I will post pics as soon as I have the car in my possession.

Appraisals are almost always overblown. You'd be hard pressed to get over $45k for that car on the market even if it was MCA gold quality. Appraisals are usually for insurance purposes, which is why most banks shy away from them nowadays.
I'm not trying to throw a damp towel, but I don't want you to think you could restore the car and get that kind of money.

karman

True.
Of course the car I am talking about is 100% perfect, frame off, redone to all original specs. inside and out down to the last detail.

71'Hardtop

Oh that's fine, I'm not restoring this to sell, I really wanted a unique muscle car, and thats what I've found. I probably won't go 100% to spec anyways cause I'd like abit more performance.
