New addition to the 'Family'

Post by Gazza »

I've bought this 1967 Mustang Fastback from the USA, it arrived last week in a filthy state after sitting on the docks for about a month.

I gave it a quick wash which brightened it up. the paperwork has arrived and it is now insured and booked in for a MoT on Thursday, then I'm off to Chelmsford DVLA to register it.

When it's registered It'll go to the Valeters for a good in & out clean, I'll post some more pics after that.

Wow, that looks beautiful.
I've sort of had my eye on this one as a treat:

Any tips on shipping, etc?

That coupe will owe you around £11K once it arrives here, honestly, it won't be worth that sort of money when you want to sell.

Coupes do not command the higher prices of other variants, especially the '71-'73 models.

The '71-'73 fastback or sportsroof as they are known have been going up in value recently, especially the Mach 1 models.

You should figure the shipping costs including VAT at around £2K

If you do want any info on shipping/importing then give me a shout.

Thanks, Gazza, that's sound advice.
I'll make the most of what I've got for this summer (!) and reconsider for next year.

Nice car, had the use of a Mustang while in California for 3 weeks back in 1989. Think it was a 1967 3.5 cu inch ( but I could be wrong) stick shift with a boot. Went like stink in a straight line. I'm envious :D
