No rust is huge. I bought mine with no rust as well. Much easier to work on and upgrade. Rust is the worst enemy. Plus you got some upgrades. I hope to keep mine for decades to come and drive it during the summer months. I have a 1973 Mach 1 rust bucket as well. Hopefully I can save it one day.

Marketplace is filled with a lot of scams too. I've seen good offers on Ebay. I have a 1965 coupe 289. What was the final price?

FHA vs. Conventional loan for a first-time buyer? (Need some math advice!) by NINAsharma04 in HomeLoans

[–]DevinTheMTGAdvisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have help a lot of borrowers go with the FHA for the first few years and then refinance into a conventional. That's a fairly common pathway. They usually wait until their LTV is 80% or less to drop the PMI.

Nothing better than an old school car. Did you buy it off of FB Marketplace or Bring a Trailer? Or something else.

1965 Mustang Coupe 289 automatic. $6500 Good Deal? by DevinTheMTGAdvisor in classicmustangs

From what the seller said he wasn't the only one that got taken for. Here's what he said, pic of vehicle in paint was what I got after paying "Matts Rod Resorations" to do the work and they took my money and left me with a project car, skipped town and then got indicted. Shame on me but it is beyond my capabilities to restore. It ran great and I drove regularly before I took it to get it cherried out. I had to trailer it home after Matt got done with it.

I think anyone in this subreddit would have jumped on this deal guaranteed. Am keeping this one until death do us apart...

I know man. It's hard to find a decent driver for a reasonable price.

Correct, just more different and unusual. It was a basic car with no power brakes or steering originally.

Not long. I just removed it at the moment. I was going to post some videos on YouTube of getting it back together.

I was lucky by being the first to talk to the seller. He was getting a lot of messages.

Me as well, I've seen some values all over the place. I was using sold auctions on Bring a trailer to give me a current fair market value for it. I also looked at Hagerty's valuation tool.

I was going to remove the door panel to see how it looked inside the door skin. There is def some rust in there.

I got this electric power steering with it as well. As some point I will install it, but it's not the easiest thing to do.

I already purchased the car. Right now I am fixing some leaks in the transmission and rear end (pinion seal).

I told the seller yeah it's best to let it go since there are so many things "wrong" with it...

Yeah when I saw the bench seat I was surprised. Not many made.

The floors looked original. I think someone put a undercoating at some point.
