In my mind I am. Monetarily speaking I am. Parking is going to be an issue, but I don't see anything wrong with my idea.
I found a 1988 hatch back Mustang 4 cylinder, 5 speed manual for sale (by owner). It needs some work, but its mostly work performed on a weekend and it'll be back on the road in no time. The clutch might need to go to a shop to inspect/ install new, but again, something that could be tackled in a weekend.
It'll need a new distributor & rotor, fuel pump and clutch. It probably also needs some attention to the brakes and possibly the clutch cable (previous problems for it). Other than the small cosmetic details, its a fully functioning road worthy car.
In my eyes I see its paint stripped off and repainted the same color as my old Stang was, Torch Red. Revamp the suspension, tweak the brakes and re-tint the windows and she'd be halfway presentable.
She isn't the 1966 I imagined, but its a body style I admire. Every car has its beauty hidden underneath its seemingly plain exterior.

Were you looking for a 60's fastback or a regular 60's hardtop???
