Where can I find project cars for sale?

The farthest I could go is up to Harrisburg or Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to the west. Up to White Lake, New York in the north direction. Anywhere in New Jersey and farthest down south would be maybe Georgia. All kinds of salvage cars and projects. I’m looking for a 1967 Shelby GT500, doesn’t matter what condition. I just want that car.

Your chances of finding a real GT500 as a project are remote, there aren’t that many of them around and the ones that are are almost all restored already because of their value. If you do find one in rough shape, it will still be expensive if it’s complete and the numbers match, they are very valuable.

You’d be better off trying to find just a 67 mustang fastback and replicating a GT500. If you do it right it can look and perform pretty much the same as a real one, but of course it will never be worth as much. If you want it to drive and enjoy though, that doesn’t matter much. Actually you can make it better in many ways that the original by making it a “resto mod” using modern components like 5 or 6 speed manual instead of 4, disc brakes all around, EFI instead of a carburetor, things like that.

Here’s a good article on the subject:

Sounds like a good project – good luck!
