    I think this is great. I know everyone like cheap cars. But cars are getting expensive just to restore. A Great paint job will run anywhere from $8500 - $12,000 alone.
    And that car looks great. They are getting more rare then people think even though they made a lot of them. Plus it is 40yrs old.

    Nice car but for that kind of money it should be a lot nicer under the hood.

    Something about the Mustang just looks off, out of proportion if you will. I think it's the rear spoiler.

    Not really sure. It would take some type of auction report. Maybe they publish one after the auction. Maybe they will post it online.

    That is a high price for a far from perfect modified car.
    I would imagine that a similar Comet GT would have bumped that price by 10-15%?
