When you have a Classic Mustang and you are wondering what to do with it, you have to ask yourself some questions. If you are looking for value, keep it stock. If you are building it for yourself, build it your way. Back in the early 80's when I first got involved with classic Mustangs, the rule was bone stock. You just didn't modify a Mustang, it was a crime. Mustang Monthly magazine cranked out issue after issue of bone stock, all original over restored Mustangs. Now the hobby has changed, and you see more Restified or Modified Mustangs. I decided long ago that if I was building a Mustang that I would build it for me. I don't care what it will sell for, that is not my purpose in building it. Now with that said, my son has some ideas for my 65 that are just not going to happen, you cant rice a 65 Mustang, it is STILL a crime. I have chosen my paint color and I am swapping pony interior in a non-stock color, I have modified the engine some and I am running Cragar S/S wheels. That is MY Mustang. I haven't deviated enough to kill the value, but I have made it more enjoyable to me. I think a 67 Fastback has great value right now because they are more rare, especially with the GT500E project going on, I would think you can do whatever you want, and as long as you don't hack it up it will keep its value.
