It really doesnt need anything, i would eventually like to go to year one or something and get a reupholstery kit for the seat but other that everything is in great shape.
Edit: My parents said we would get a personal loan to get the cash.

It doesn't need anything now, but you will still want to put the car on your schedule. Meaning as soon as you get it, get the fluids changed, and change your filters. So make sure your local auto parts store stocks those parts.

As far as the loan goes, just work a summer job or something and dump all of your money into the car. I'd make sure it performs before doing any cosmetic work to it.

I assume you aren't paying for your insurance, then?

Insurance on those cars isn't as expensive as new cars. My 66 Mustang is cheaper than my truck.

It has Cobra emblems and a 428 Cobra Jet hood, Im trying to figure out if its an orignal 428 car with a non-numbers matching 302 or a numbers matching 302 car with the hood. But either way i love the hood. I think its orignal 302 car though.

Well my dads a painter/body man so cosmetic would be done quicker, as for the normal up-keep i have already thought of that. Id redo all fluids when i got it because i only love Amsoil as for as fluids go. Im trying to get a job but i need a car to get to it. Most of my car fix up money will come from the sale of my four-wheeler. Thats $1400.

I know, i wasnt expecting that. It should be cheaper than our F-150

There doesnt seem to be any rust problems now, of course there will be later but ill hopefully have more money and ill be able to completely redo it if i buy it.

Eh. I dont like flat black unless its on 59 and earlier cars. You dont see these as much as mustangs. My uncle has 2 69 Mach 1's. As much as i love mustangs because im a Ford guy id have to say i love this more.

#1 issue with this car, it's a ford.

i love how some people say not to get a certain car cause it might be too much for a first car

i started off with a 86 camaro with a bad *** 383 in it and never had a problem
