How important is it to get the model year right when trying to sell a classic Mustang? Well, as we've learned here at The Mustang Source, more important than most people outside the classic car universe would ever realize. Just one year can make all the difference in the world when trying to sell a Mustang, which is exactly what a man in New York found out earlier this year after trying to unload a vintage Ford pony car on Craigslist.

Apparently when listing the Mustang on the site for $5,000, the man mistakenly identified it as a 1966 model, when in fact it was a 1965 Mustang. The wrong year and cost of the car, seemingly in pretty good condition, immediately raised a red flag for one potential buyer, which prompted him to contact police.

The tip led authorities to do some investigating, discovering that the Mustang had actually been stolen in Connecticut in 1987.

so how much is a 65 worth compared to a 66 in the same condition?

 

Really? I had to click to read this?

You could have just put that in there. Or you could have chopped it off at the first paragraph, thereby ensuring the click.

I.. just don't get it. That makes no sense.
