How to Buy a Classic Mustang

The Mustang is an American icon. Introduced late in 1964, these cars became incredibly popular. Today, there are still thousands on the road, and a whole industry has grown up around keeping them going.

Instructions

1

Look for a 1964 to 1966 Mustang for the classic, original body style.

2

Consider a 1967 or 1968 Mustang for a more muscular look.

3

Find a fastback-style Mustang. These cars are somewhat rare, and are worth almost as much as the convertibles.

4

Consider a Shelby Mustang if you want a solid investment. Be prepared to pay quite a bit more.

5

Look for cars with power steering for improved drivability.

6

Know that six-cylinder Mustangs don't have the value of the V-8 cars, but they offer much of the driving fun.

7

Look for a convertible for top-down cruising. These cars are quite a bit more expensive than the hardtops but will hold their value quite nicely.
