$200k+ '65 Mustang Restomod Convertible
Interesting situation - the shop listing this '65 is also the builder who's selling the car on behalf of their client. They claim it's a $200k build and are asking $75k obo for essentially a new vehicle (it was driven 1,950 miles). I have to wonder how the client felt when the shop evidently threw the $75k price out there after he dumped a couple hundred grand into this....
Of course, this assumes the shop is telling the truth about the $200k in receipts! To be honest, even at retail shop rates I'm struggling to see that number even though there's clearly a number of expensive parts used. Looks like a fun car but even at $75k (never mind COVID19) I think it's priced out of the market. Link to 1965 Mustang Restomod auction 5R08C25191300 |

Yuck.
That is going to be one massive haircut. Run it through Mecum and be happy when you get 35k. Their only hope is a 200k insurance policy and a lightning strike. Last edited by southernfriedcj; 03-21-2020 at 02:43 PM. |

Shop labor rates on complete car builds like this can easily go into the stratosphere when the car owner keeps changing his mind about the direction of the car mid-build and does not stick to the original plan.

---- I understand loving black, but can't figure out why one would want an all black convertible. Just getting in on a hot day with the top up or down can be painful. Not my idea of fun,,,LOL!......Bill S

Could be one of the more unimaginative interiors that I have seen.
