65-66 Fastback. Where do I start?

[Mr Noble]

Hi chaps,

I have been thinking about getting one of thse as a project for a few years and think now is a good time.

I have found a few websites in the US that have some for sale, but would like some more advice about what to do and who to trust.


Do any of you on here have older cars?

What is the best one to go for (engine and 'box etc) and what year? (like the look of the 65-66 best)


Sorry if this is a common post, but I couldn't find any others.


Regards
Greg


ps. Would love to see pics of yours if you have similar.

Wow! Thanks for all the help Mike. You know your stuff.

I definatly thought I only wanted the 65-66 fastback. But the coupe's seem to be half the price! I assume that the only difference is the fast-back and nothing else.

Whats wrong with the coups that make them worth so much less?

I actually am quite tempted to just go for a nice coup and go to work on the enging and running gear to make a V8 car that handles and performs like a moderd car can on track.

What do you think?
