KEEP IT. GET IT INTO A DRY, WARM GARAGE. AND RESTORE THE CAR. TAKE YOUR TIME, THIS WILL MAKE THE PERFECT LONG TERM HOBBY YOU NEED TO GET AWAY FROM YOUR OLD LADY FOR LONG BITS OF TIME WITHOUT HER GETTING MAD, WORRIED, OR SUSPICIOUS, HEY SHE KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE & WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!

Considering in 1964 this car was almost $2,500 brand new and over the years they have been getting rarer and rarer every year and if you consider that in the price of great american car that i think i might pay $2000 or less considering how much body work i have to do, or somewhat fix the 289 cubic engine and the 4 speed to the ground

I would keep the 64 and restore it. But if you sell it, make sure it is going to a good home for someone to restore. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT TO A JUNK OR SALVAGE YARD!!!!!! There are still a lot of great original parts on the car. I own a 64 myself, and I know they are rare to find.

....and yes there are plenty of places to find original and repo parts for not that much. 64/65s are basically the same except for some details and also are the cheapest year(s) of mustang to restore.

If its a rust free example-$1000-1500. If its rusty, $500. The engine is probably shot, ie: frozen solid and the chrome trim is usually the most expensive part of a resto.

I'm sorry to say but it is not a 64 1/2, it is just a simple 65. The 64 1/2 had a 260 V8 engine in them, while the 65's did have the 289 V8's in them. The 641/2 was the only Mustang to ever have the 260 V8.

Please please let me know where this car is located and how much u want for it. Your least price. Because it needs a total over haul and cost of alot of money. This is my greatest dream car. Jean53wessels@gmail.com.

If you have the title, that is worth 500. Most the parts to resore cost less than 150 per each part Less than 10 % of 64 mustangs.were 289 engines. Look at the vin on drivers door. Probably 1000 to 1500 I own two and restoring one.p
