Back in the early 90's when I was looking for a 65-66 Fastback to restore,I probably looked at 25 or more cars in Louisiana-Texas-Mississippi, from complete daily drivers to parts cars to rusted out junk....... The going rate for a complete 65-66 Fastback then 4k,needing restoration but all there,add another grand if you can crank the engine and move the car under it's own power.

That was ten years ago......Right now I know of 5 or 6 really nice cars,one original never been molested or restrored Fastback with about 75,000 miles on it,and you can not touch any of these cars for under $7,5000.00.....They are in good shape to start with and would make great cars...They do sell also.....The unmolested one is the one I want,but the owner really does not want to sell it or need to sell it right now..... The paint and body are in very good shape and the interior looks as if it is 5 years old instead of 38 years old.... It needs a battery and a little gas in the tank and you could drive this car home.....Oh well, I can still hope for the best.....

I have watched the market mainly for 65-66 Fastbascks and everywhere you see them advertised,they basically go for 12 to 15k for 2+2's to 15 to 18k for the hipo GT's,this being fully restored cars,ready to drive home.....I would think convertibles would be in at least this price range if not slightly more...... Personally I like the looks of the convertible but have no desire to own one,I prefer the Fastbacks to drive.....

Around here convertibles bring more than the Fastbacks and for whatever reason,you just do not see that many convertibles around....When you do see one for sale and it has been restored or is in great shape,get ready,if you want it you will pay dearly.....Do not know if that is the norm everywhere else,but here in the south that is what I have seen in the last ten years are so......
