hi,
Thinking of buying one of these classics (Mustang 66-69). If kept in good condition, do these cars Appreciate (or depreciate) in value?.
Also, how hard is it to obtain parts in Ireland?
Cheers.

Whether a Mustang, or any other classic "appreciates" or "depreciates" all depends on how you look after your car. See another thread in this forum on keeping a car outside: if you do not have a garage, the car will depreciate like h*ll, end of story. Also if you clock up masses amounts of miles, of course your car will suffer and will need a lot of mechanical attention to keep it fresh and up to date.

Another factor is which car you purchase in the first place. If you buy a 'dog', it will never appreciate in value, unless you pour thousands of euro's into it in the first place, to sort the car out, and usually then that would still not be enough to get a car to the sort of standard that other people will want to pay top dollar for it !!

Regarding parts and maintenance, the Mustangs are nice and simple! Plenty of mechanics should have no problem working on the easy mechanics of a Mustang, and parts can be ordered through the internet either straight from the US or in the UK or the Continent if you need to get it sooner.

A very sensible woman, your wife, couldn't agree more
