Manager's Special '68 Coupe at Jeff Sikes Mazda

Just looked at the red '68 Coupe on Jeff Sikes Mazda lot. Manager's Special $14,995. Probably a $3000 car. Excessive orange peel, poorly patched floor pans, rusty frame rails, original "T" code 6 cylinder car converted to V8. Interior looks decent except for wear on steering wheel and aftermarket stereo.

You obviously haven't been watching Barrett-Jackson. That car will be worth 6 figures in the upcoming years.

I've heard they (dealer) have less-than-a-deal "deals". I think I know this car. I saw it sitting in a yard not two miles from the dealership, I believe. He wanted waaaaaay too much and it had all the above stated problems. Probably traded it to them since he couldn't sell it for the 18k he was asking.

Asa,

In your ad in the Mustang Forums you state that your car needs head gaskets? Did you mean valve cover gaskets? If it needs head gaskets, then it's probably not drivable, right? Did you ever put it on Ebay?
