Should I keep my Ford?

Okay well heres the situation..
A 1967-68 mustang fastback has been put for sale here in town and well ive always wanted a mustang.
Im sure they wont be asking more than 8 grand cause not too many people here in my town know the real prices and i can get 8 to 10 grand by selling my truck, ive gotten offers towards that price.
What do yall think i should do?

I'd keep the truck. A car can't do the things a truck can do. Besides, its just a stang.

Keep the truck.

If you have a truck that's worth 8-10k, then what would you need a fastback for? Are we talking about that 81 F-100 that your forum handle suggests?

I'd really like to see a pic of that truck!

Keep the truck The way I figure it, everybody wants to restore the Mustang. Not many people want to fix the 80's trucks, so you'll stand out. Just my .02

Your picture isn't gonna show up for us, it looks like you tried to attach a file which you can't do unless you're a supporter.

Best thing is to upload to a free hosting site (photobucket, flickr, whatever) then use the IMG codes to add your picture inline.

Keep the truck. I have a '69 Super Bee that I plan to restore, but have put one of these pickups back on the road and have found it not only more useful but more fun than the Bee. Sold that one and am now doing another pickup. Lots more useful!

not sure what kind of a 60's fastback mustang you can get for $8k but i'm guessing it aint much of one judging from exorbitant prices they seem to bring.

sounds like you probably have one of the cooler 80s F Series trucks around so i'd stick with that.
