Hi, my name is chris, a few years ago I inherited a 1965 mustang GT. I'm technically the 4th owner of the car, and its spent most of its life in garages and from what I've been told the 23,000 + miles on the odometer are all original. Everything mechanical about the car is original like the engine and transmission. Some basic cosmetic things have been replaced like the air filter cover, and the vinyl covering that goes into the trunk, things my dad ordered from mustang restoration parts catalogs. The body is in pretty good shape, one minor dent on the driver door, the paint job definitely needs to be redone, and the front bench vinyl needs to be replaced, some rusting in the trunk but nothing to drastic. i took as many pictures as I could getting everything that think needs to be addressed. I put all the pics i took on photobucket. http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/silvorus/
So my ultimate question is whats a fair price to ask for this car? I'm not sure what a fair asking price would be. And where would be a good place to post it to get the best chance of a collector seeing it? any help you guys can give would be appreciated.
I'm not in a position to give you any sort of accurate estimate but have you tried nadaguides.com ? They have a classic section, it may be of some use... What I would say is that the price you get will vary a lot by region and finding the right person who is willing to pay top $ is the challenge. For selling, test the market on Craigslist.org for your area, advertise for free. Good luck!
looking at the pics i i think that there may be a little more rust than what the eyen can see. im in az and out here cars similar to this range from 5k to 7k. look at auto trader online to see what simlar cars go for in your market. there may be a few cars to compare it to each week
i just bought a 67 289 coupe with a three on the floor.
basic coupe. 7800. mines 99% rust free and interior is spot on.
i think you can get more for this car. it is a GT.
id try at least 7000. post across the country. some one will pick it up for 7000.

Curious question : how come a 40+ year-old car only have 23,000 miles? We are talking 575 miles / year average And how come my interior with 4 times more miles look better?

Do you by any chance have the orginal window sticker? If so it should bring a pretty fair price, it is a GT and it has a bench seat. IMO you should ask somewhere around $8k for it at least, but you really shouldn't sell it, trust me you'll regret it later down the road.
but you really shouldn't sell it, trust me you'll regret it later down the road.
This is true. Unless you really need the cash, dont sell it. I have to imagine that since you inherited the car, it must have some sentimental value to you. If you do sell, you will never be able to look at a classic Mustang again without missing this one.
And remember, these cars are not going to come down in value. The prices and demand may fluctuate a little with the economy, local market, etc, etc, ...but in the long run, the car will appreciate in value on its own, if you just keep her clean and healthy.
So ask yourself if you REALLY need to sell. Because once its gone... its gone.
The car should easily bring $7500. As far as keeping it that would be my first choice, if you were going to start to prevent the rust from spreading. If it sits for years it will only decline in condition and possibly price.
