Mustang Newbie

[thunderbolt]

yea, I know you are 15 and want the car. Strangely enough I know this one, bought my first mustang, a 66 at 13. Coulnd't drive it for 2 years. Talk about pain. Anyway a few other things to think about. If you are sterotypical, you will not care that much about safety stuff but your folks might. For safety sake the 68 is the better buy. It still has the classic lines of the 65-68 models but significant upgrades like collapsable steering column, and points for 3 point seat belts. I think they also solved the fuel tank block off from the back seat problem. Parts are plentiful for a 68 so that is not a real problem.
I hope it works out for you. I still have my 66 and love it. Remember if this one is not good, there are plenty of others out there even though you might not think so right now. If you are inexperienced with cars it is worth finding one in good condition and paying a little more for it. You will get ample opportunity to learn about the car and work on it regardless of the shape.
