Advice

I have traded into a car that I don't quite know what it is worth. I would like some Advice from some Mustang people. First, I collect Camaros so I am not quite sure about the selling attributes of Mustangs. That being said, I will try to describe what I have. I have a 1968 Mustang coupe, 289 factory A/C, power steering. Looks to have 42 thousand original miles on it, yellow with a black vinyl top, black interior, Automatic with a console. Interior is in good shape, needs the vinyl top replaced, and of course with the original paint, it needs painting. No dents or anything just a few quarter sized places that need attention. Without seeing the car I know this is a tough question, but, what would a good running Mustang in the condition I have described be worth? Any advice other than "keep the Mustang and sell the Camaros" would be appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

Assuming no rust issues, probably around $3-4K.

I agree with mgreene. $3-4 K would be easy to get. since its an original 289 you might be able to get a lil more out of it.

I wanted mine to be a Terlingua clone, but use red instead of yellow.
