Hey all. Well I am selling my truck (its a 68 f100, and in my gallery if you wanna look at it.) But thats not the reason for this post...

I was planning on getting a fastback mustang in the near future. 67,68, or a 69. Well, after looking into them some, it seems that the price on these cars are VERY high! Why is it that the fastback is so expensive compared to other muscle cars in that era? I want one soooo bad. It would be my dream to have one w/ a body kit, and 40 series flowmasters

 

It is because they are becoming so rare and everybody wants one,me I would love to have a 70 MachI,but then I would also love to have a nice 68F100,hmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

i had a 73 mach I when i was 16 i loved that car i sold it when i was 23 and really needed the money(when i look back i should have kept it) anyhow my dream car is a 69 mach I and you are right they are pricey. i saw a guy on auto trader that wanted $5900 for one in pieces no eng , no trans i was thinking this guy is nuts, supply and demand i guess

 

elenore? remeber gone in 60 seconds,thats a great car!

 

I had a 72 Mustang Grande Notchback, with a 351c, that I bought for $500. An AZ car, really nice body, just needed an engine and interior. My mother made me sell it, the guy only offered me $400, and of that I only saw $50. I am still mad at her.........

 

The main reason that the '67-'68 Fastbacks are so high right now is that lots of folks are grabbing them up to make them into Eleanors from the new gone in 60 seconds.
You might want to try looking for a '65-'66 Fastback, there are still some out there to be had for a somewhat good price.

 

Carroll Shelby is making Elenor mustangs himself. He's also making 'continuation' GT350R's out of old 68-69 fastbacks.

 

I personally would like a 66 Fastback. Don't have to be a Shelby, just a fastback. Well, not even a fast back. But it has to be a 66. Even a 65 if I can find one. I don't care if it needs a lot of work either.

I think 66 Fastbacks are SWEET. I don't know why I want a 66 so bad, but I figure 65's are a bit hard to come by. 66's are basically the same, and a bit easier to find. So there I go.

 

Hmmm. Well I am looking for a muscle car (60's era) but really dont know what to look for. I want something mean, and loud....Any suggestions. I am open to other types, dodge, chevy, but most likely a ford...

 

that eleanor car i rember that that thing hauled A$$ my favorite part with that car is when he loses the cops and the helicopter in that straight away.

 

yeah that scene in 'gone' was pretty cool.....but not as cool as the orginal movie. That car was BAD! too bad it gets torn to pieces. crj900, there are lots of sick muscle cars out there. buick gs stage 1 455 is pretty good. very low key beast and largely unknown to the masses. just gotta get out there and hunt.

 

I forgot we're supposed to help you choose a car. Well, if I were you and can't get a Mustang fastback, I'd choose a 66 Chevelle SS. Nicest GM IMO.

 

May also wanna look into the mopars. The 66 charger was pretty sweet.

 

the grand torino in starsky and hutch is awesome too but i really like the 60's mustangs

 

The new Shelby American G.T. 500E "Eleanor" available in several configurations is why we are losing the 67/68 fastbacks to be butchered up and sold for an idiotic amount of money. As for the G.T.350SR it is a modernized and very badass update on the G.T.350 platform using the 65/66 Mustang fastbacks. Also sold for an idiotic price.
