Only cheap if in good nic. If unrestored and a rusting relic, $14k is expensive.

Seller has been a member for 7 years, has very good feedback.
Car needs work and vinning.
There's another (same model) for sale on here @ $16k.
Not a scam.

There's a black one parked by the asparagus farm between Foxton & Levin for $14k. That's almost top dollar.

I don't know why it would be a scam, its all the bloody things are REALLY worth for below to average ones. You have to have a giggle at the dozens of them listed for month after month on here for 30k plus with no interest.even good examples of bog standard bone basic 289 notchbacks can still be imported far cheaper than what the oversupplied local market speculators/dreamers want.

Not just Mustangs .lots of older USA so called "classic" advertised for huge amounts .I know it is only my opinion and car owners have different tastes, but WHAT on earth do people see in some of them. Build quality is abysmal, very thirsty on gas, poor performance for capacity, rotten handling, glitzy cheap interiors, I could go on . Some older American muscle certainly worth big money for their heritage and brutal performance, but some tired old rusty Mustang .come on ! And as for those hideous beyond description sedans .

Hi all
I think OP is talking about a dodgy email for a 'deal of the day'. The email linked to a fake website that mimicked a Trade Me listing for a 1965 Ford Mustang for $14k. The scammer asked buyers to contact them directly by email, then no doubt asked them to send a payment overseas using the untraceable Western Union payment system.
We took down that fake website in 32 minutes, so the quicker we know about it the faster we can stop the scam. If you get any dodgy emails remember to forward them to us at abuse@trademe.co.nz

I think the reasonable pricing involves the plastic cover over the cowel vent in front of the windscreen. This usually means it is rusted out under there and rain water will collect on the floor, eventually rusting that out. It is a major to fix.

Then you'd have to drive it from Invercargill to Te Kuiti. There's a lot of corners and hills between those points. You'd arrive absolutely shattered.

Still a 6 cylinder though. If your buying an American muscle car, surely a V8 is the only way to go.

Correct on the V8 point, which is why the 6cyl fastback is still listed, I was comparing apples with apples.
Now if someone wanted to make a '66 Shelby GT350H replica they would be hard pressed to find a nicer donor.
Though who knows in another couple of decades 6cyl Mustangs may be rarest of the lot.

Regarding older mustangs, that is already the case. They are rare because no body wants them. Simply being rare in itself, will not make them desirable.
