anything from $1 - $10,000 depending on conditon and specs
you might need to provide a tad more detail and maybe some pics to get an accurate evaluation mate |

From where I'm sitting, it looks like a damn nice car.
So I guess it's for sale then? how much?

Could be a tad expensive, once you add freight, duties etc.
Depends what you want to do with it. If it's for a restoration project, then it's a really good car to start with. If it's gonna go to RHD, and modded, then I'd go for something cheaper, but there aren't too many around on US eBay these days.

i would leave it LHD and do a restore on it - but i am having trouble deciding if its costing too much - i have been looking for one of these for a while- i have seen them range from $750 to $30K US but was unsure what they r worth out here- This car is a one owner -unmolested in any way-

You could get a reasonable Mustang for that. Long term it may be a better investment. However....looks like a nice ride!!!!!

If it was me, I'd be checking the one out in Cranbourne first.
If I was importing one, I'd be looking for a 4 speed Sports Coupe. Don't know about this one with 3 on the tree..... although it looks good on the eBay listing.....but nothing special with a 3 speed.

Stef,
i think it is a very reasonable price based on that picture. You would never get a Mustang in anywhere close to that condition for price, and I would dare say it would get registered with minimal mods based on looking at it. My $0.02 worth... Cheers, Hally |

Is that car on ebay? I'd be suspecting a scam if it is.

Yeah, here it is.
Problem might be that the seller has no rating. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ONE-O...QQcmdZViewItem

Contact one of the local shipping companies, there are a few who specialise in EBay purchases and do all the US organising. May save you headaches about being ripped off or use a third party for the transfer, for a few dollars same deal.

My book states production figures for 1967 as follows:
2 dr Falcon, 16082 2 dr Futura, 6287 2 dr Sports Coupe, 7053. Not really that rare, but I would reckon that most would have bitten the dust long ago.

Stef,
I have Issue 20 of 'Street Fords', there is a feature on an XR Sports Coupe which is one of the nicest old Fords I've ever seen. PM me a mailing address and I'll stick in in the post for you, and good luck with the purchase!

I agree BJ. There are that many Mustangs out there, they are as common as BA Falcons and Commodore's now : That car looks real good, but do some checking with the ebay member before bidding. And most of all, dont be like all the other sheep out there, buy a car that you will enjoy and look great  : Oh yeah, i do like Mustangs, its just that i like cars that are not so common  :
