It doesn't matter what shape it's in when you buy it, it depends on what YOU want out of it and what YOU'RE willing to put out to get what you're looking for. Fact of the matter is, whether you put a stock V8 in it and cruise it, or a built V8 with forced induction and a Saleen body kit, it's what you wanted. The performance car market is not exactly something to look into getting a huge return out of. Keeping in mind, modifications technically mean ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOTHING in resale, I would build a car that you plan on keeping long term and wrench on it for years to come. A nicely done Mustang that's been stripped and completely restored will obviously hold it's resale value for someone who's in the market for that kind of purchase. What kills me is some of the people locally who throw $500 worth of engine mods on a 150,000 mile car that's worth no more than a grand and they're advertising it for $5k. If I had an empty garage and ran into your deal, as long as the frame is straight and there isn't any extensive rust or damage to the car, it's probably worth a grand as a roller to do with it what you choose!</p></blockquote><p></p>
