Please Help Me Find This Car's Value

I wouldn't offer more than $2000 at the most. A 1966 Mustang with that much rust you can see is hiding lots you can't see. The cost of repairs is just as high for a 6 cyl Automatic 1966 as it is for a K-Code 289 Hi Performance GT, but the end value is much lower. At most, fully restored this car would probably be worth around $5000 to $7500, and that is an estimate. The V8 cars are more desirable and easier to sell.

I bought an overpriced 65 with a bent front fender, and since I had a 66 project car I thought it was a quick fix. Come to find out, it had 5 coats of paint and lots of very bad bodywork underneath the last 4 paintjobs. I ended up having to replace both front fenders, the hood, both quarters, and a lot of patch welding in the rocker panels and in the wheelwells. In addition, I had to rebuild the motor, so I have more in it than I can get out of it, and it is not finished yet.

I sold my 66 project car, simply because I couldnt afford to finish 2 of them, and although it was a better car, I had very little invested. Take it from someone who has been there, done that.

I'd run away from it and find something that doesn't have the rust problem. And is more saleable.

I can't help but echo the above comments. A car from that part of the country that has visible rust is beyond a doubt going to be a MAJOR reclamation project. You are going to put an inordinate amount of sweat equity into it and in the end you are going to have a 6 cylinder Mustang. You will not be satisfied with the performance and it will have limited resale value. I suggest you pass on it. E.
