This is a mustang I found at a junkyard that I could get for very cheap. Just seeing if anyone might can enlighten me on how much the damage is and if it would be worth it. The place said the engine starts.

 

Forgot to mention the only damage on the car is what you see, the driver fender *MIGHT* need replaced but I think it is still good.

 

you could probably look in the junkyard for a used front end to do it even cheaper.

you could take this as an excuse to do a gt500 front end conversion. just dont put on the badges. go to mustangforums for the complete list of parts for that....just an idea

 

well over $2-3K if you are going Ford's prices, but that is including labor. I'd guess 2K would be about right.

 

Is that just a run of the mill GT? That looks like a lot of work man...

 

Time and parts will get 'cha. But at least, at the end, the car would be yours and free of a lien. - Og

 

If he's getting it cheap enough it will probably be less than a normal run of the mill GT over priced at 30+ grand.

 

You are looking at a lot to rebuild that. Not to mention the title is probably branded. You will need to have a professional rebuilder get it certified.

Parts look like both fenders, hood, core support, bumper cover and support, headlights, grill, anything hidden like subframe work and paint. I would guess 5-8k at a body shop plus any state rebuilding fees.

The finished product won't be worth its non rebuilt counterpart either.

Insurance companies don't total them unless they aren't worth it.

You may be able to get used parts and save a lot. That is the only way this car would be worthwhile.

 

christ they're that much? I was thinking more along the lines of 25k - 26k tops. Still like K-Mac said, you're looking at at least 4-5k in terms of repair, more than likely more than that. I don't think it's worth it personally.

 

I"d say at least 5 grand in parts

 

to the op if you do get it like K mac said find used parts try craigslist and local junkyards maybe you could even get an aftermarket hood

 

I could get it really cheap thats the only reason I would get it. Im just looking for something to drive, the salvaged title doesnt really mean tat much to me as long as it runs and lasts bc I don't plan on selling it. My uncle who is a mechanic estimated the damage around like4 or 5 to get it all fixed, but keep yalls opinions coming they are appreciated.

 

Itsd just a run of the mill GT, the car is TCV at like 13k I believe.

 

I agree. I think I'd look for a new front clip to be honest. You'll uncover all sorts of things once you start digging in that wrecked front end.

Are the airbags popped???

 

No airbags are still in tact. And no other damage anywhere on the car.
