I'm open to a 1968. It's a little hard to rationalize, most guys are either '66 or '67 but not either or. I guess it comes down to my being born in '66 and loving that shape, particularly the fastback. My first car was a 1967 Fastback. I am looking for an S-code to retain the FE and use some of the go-fast parts I've collected rebuilding the Contemporary. Tough to do with a '66 without cutting, which I want to avoid.

Mostly what I see in mustang forums are beaters guys want $5-7K for. I don't mind doing the work but I see a lot of cars that should be in the $2500 range there. I don't mind spending the money, I just don't want to be stupid about it.
