Re: ***Need help***What to look for when buying a 1965 Fastback?
The single most problem (Major) is the cowl rusting out and water pouring onto your feet while driving.
When water enters the cowl vent, its suppose to drain off to either side on cowl, onto the ground. Think of A/C dripping water from a new car.
When enough crap cloggs the drain holes the rust begins. Fenders/windshield/dash all have to come out to reapir. Major bucks if you pay someone. Major time if you do it.
All mustangs did this.
You can try looking into the vent with a flashlight. Better if a fender is off. Or flood the vent with water and watch for the interior to fill up.

Floor pans and frame rails all rust too. But are not real bad to fix yourself. Parts are readily availible for any part on any mustang.
