nah, $1500 for a '64 mustang is actually somewhat of a deal I would say. you could probably remove the goofy paint job and have a super nice pre-cbs instrument.
No. The refinish would run 300. $1700 for a 64 mustang is not a deal and is a ripoff. Its not even slab board or
have an awesome neck or something redeemingly rare.

This is just currently on ebay. If you wait you will see more.
ah ok then. still don't think it's exactly a rip-off though. my point is that the paint job is not as bad as people are making it out to be. it looks like it's just on top of the original finish. if you are decent with sanding and polishing you could get it back to original finish easily enough.

Its not original finish as well since its too white to be olympic white especially a 40+ year old olympic white, effectively its a 1500 refinish with an ugly one at that.
I would consider a 25 % price increase from an all original dakota red mustang for an ugly refinish a rip off but to each his own.
