Hey All
I have an opportunity to purchase a 1967 s code 390 lime green coupe. It is really loaded with air int and ext groups
exc condition with marti report all original 30k miles. I have only bought fastbacks and convertibles so Im not that up on the coupe prices. Could anyone give a good ballpark what this might be worth? It has a black vinyl top its a true GTA
everything is numbers matching and matches everything on Marti report. Thanks for any help...
-
I don't think they fetch as much, in best case scenario MAYBE 60-70% of a fastback similarly equipped. Auto fastback GTA's don't do as well as a Top Loader twin.
I have some interest in the Spring Stamp Codes off the rear leafs if you can spot the stamping, well that and the actual Build date/location too ;)
-
Its unfortunate but many in this hobby dislike the 67-68 light green colors.
-
Sounds like a great car! Hagerty has a value guide and there might be other sources you can check out.
As was stated, it won't bring as much as a equivalent fastback but if it's as nice as it sounds, it should bring top dollar coupe money.
Keep us posted should you buy it.

What is top dollar coupe money?

I follow 68 GTCS and HCS coupes top cars seam to be in the 45-55K range unless it is a R code. I would look in NADA classis car values for a better estimate that would consider the car's options.

According to value guides, like ruppstang said, about $55k.
Of course like it's always been in the car hobby, they are only worth what someone is willing to pay.

There are three price ranges listed in NADA. I consider the top range to be a pristine car that has single digit mileage. In other words, it don't exist.

FWIW: I paid $32K for mine two years ago.
Equivalent GTA was $35K...
Mine is a deluxe frost turquoise/white vinyl top with C6 and a Non-GTA...
113K miles, fresh build on motor, fully restored, show quality.

Thanks for the info very helpful!
here is the car I'm looking at
-
Wow, it's a beauty!
Great looking car in my opinion but if you are going to lay out a bunch of money for it you might want to have another set of eyes go over it. Is the mileage documented? Paperwork with the car? Original inside, outside, under the hood, underneath?
Don't know if it's the angle or not but looks like the rear quarter doesn't have blackout on the pinchweld? Seems to be some remaining on the rocker.

I'll throw in my 2cents :)
From the one pic posted, it looks like a nice car.
The 2 things that jump out to me right away are:
1) GTA emblem is slanted and the stripe behind it isn't cut out like it should be
2) Magnum 500 wheels
The above items are overall easily corrected.
I wonder where the value guides get their prices from. Has anyone on here seen a 67 GT or GTA 390 coupe (outside of a big auction) sell for over $35K recently?
It also looks like the car is for sale at a dealer.
To the OP...have you been searching for awhile for a coupe like this or did you see it and think it'd be nice to have?
I'm a big fan of the 390 coupes and have owned a few (currently have 2)
-
It came up and I bought it I have dealt with this dealer for 25 years they have always treated me right
I have just always had Fastback and convertibles this will be my first coupe just wondering what the real money on it should be. It does have a deluxe Marti report and rveything matches what It says. I will try to bring it back as close to orig as possible with the help from this site.
-
I have an affinity for the Coupe GTA's for obvious reasons. I saw the Marti Report on this car. This one parallels close to the option list my examples has. (His has S-code as a PLUS while mine has other amenities such as Convenience Group, Tilt-Away, Tach, Courtesy group and a small block C4 A-code). There were some other interesting notations I caught with the other camera shots I saw of this S-code that fall under mark for Concours but it really does look very sharp, inside and out! I love it!

From what you saw will it take a ton of work to get it to concourse condition
Any real stumbling blocks I have to over come?
Thanks for all your help!!!

One thing at a time makes it a whole less overwhelming. Sometimes a good place to begin is some of the most obvious issues, ones that do not involve repainting since the paint looks so nice at a glance. I do wonder if the fender(s) or other body parts have been changed, original floorpans or replacements and such. Perhaps have that previously mentioned inspection done by a member of a local Mustang club (preferably an MCA affiliated club) who can help you make decisions, put together a task list. Where do you reside? Maybe somebody can make a refferal to a club that can help you out.

Richard, just so that there is no confusion, replaced body parts (or anything else for that matter), as long as implemented well, should have no bearing on MCA Concours judging, but it would on the Thoroughbred classes. As far as the affect on resale value goes, that depends on the buyer. Given two nearly identical cars, some will pay more for authentic, original sheet metal, but there are many that don't care as long as it looks decent and shines.
I agree that the potential buyer here should consider reaching out to someone with experience to get that independent perspective. Another set of eyes never hurts. There are many on this site that are "here to help", including in person on occasion. If he is in Timbuktu (no offense to anyone there), then quality close up pictures would be second best.

Car looks beautiful. I saw that ad as well and found it very odd that there were no pics of the engine compartment and undercarriage. If the exhaust needs to be replaced, that could run about $3k. The radio probably won’t be cheap either. When you do get it, I would be interested in any numbers you might find on the alternator mounting brackets.
Have fun and enjoy!

If you are in the Midwest we are hosting a MCA National show in Lincoln, NE. July 13th-15th. However the registration dead line is this Sunday. If entered in a Concours class it would be judged on a 18 page 700 point judge sheet by some of the most qualified judges in the country. Afterword you can request your judge sheet and that will provide you a excellent work sheet to upgrade your car.

Only issue I can see there is that he will only find out after purchasing the car. Not the time to find out issues, problems and such. Your not getting the car cheaply. Get someone who knows the cars to give it a complete once over and I'm not suggesting someone that is close but the best you can find. A complete inspection is IMHO and others, a very small investment given the price of these cars, and confirmation, hopefully, of what your eyes and your possible rose colored glasses are telling you ;)
I guess (didn't see it mentioned in a prior post) that you have gotten a Marti report on the car as a starting point.
Replacement work and panel replacement will likely make a difference when it comes time to resell the car - IMHO much more important than how a judging event will react to those findings. If they find it - they will let (or should) you know ::)
Using the judges and a show is sometimes frowned on by some since many consider this a place for only those who have spent the time and effort to prepare a car just for that competition but it has been done many times. It will stand our and be obvious if the car looks like it just rolled off the street.
A prepurchase inspection can take care of all of this and an agreement with the inspector (if you get one of the right ones) you can have an improvement list produced also at the same ti,e.

Jeff I understood that he bought it. I would agree completely on a prebuy inspection.
