Re: Advice about a 68 Coupe
Most cars look good in pictures and from 50 feet. As said above RUST will be your biggest concern. The typical rust places on Mustangs go through to the 67-68-etc.
Frame rails, torque boxes, fender aprons, cowl, trunk floor, passenger compartment floors, inner and outer rear fender wells, rear quarters, bottom of the doors, bottom of the front fenders. Did I leave any sheet metal out??
Also....as said above, be careful if you see undercoated sprayed all over. It may be covering up lots of sins.
Lastly...the engine is the least of your worries.
If you're not comfortable checking the body/frame over, hire a professional to look at it. You'll save money in the long run.
10K US isn't bad....IF and that's a BIG IF....it isn't a "rust bucket".
