TL/DR: i found a grey 67 fastback, unknown trim, unknown condition, and someone more resourceful than me deserves to restore it.

I don't know how hard these things are to find but i found one so i figured i should share for anyone interested.

I was looking at potential properties and came across this one. Both the property and the house, itself, were clearly once incredibly beautiful but they are now a bit of a wreck and need A LOT of work; was told the house came with everything on the property, including everything in the house (even the previous owners clothes, vhs collection, frozen ground beef in the freezer, EVERYTHING); i wasn't able to get any kind of story but i imagine it's pretty grim and probably involved a "wellness check". At any rate, there was a 67 mustang fastback under a tarp in the garage and i was told it came with the property.

If someone wants it, they might be able track down the property owner and make an offer but i don't know how one would even begin that process.... or i guess they could buy the house for the car, but that feels pretty silly.... anyway, it's on zillow; there are no images of the car (or even the inside of the garage) on the listing and i'm sorry to say i didn't have the presence of mind at the time to snap a pic. happy hunting!

The car is NOT THE numbers matching garage queen I thought i was getting.

So im going to have fun with it.

Had a buddy try something different and I love how it came out

So tried something different, thrilled with the results!

My brother has run out of energy and money on his 67. I was going to help him with restoration since he knows a lot more than I do about it, but he is giving up. Unfortunately I let him park it in my driveway when he lost his storage. He lives in a townhouse. I am trying to decide whether to buy it from him and find a shop to get it drivable. 289 V8. Block is still in car but top end is off and in pieces. Auto transmission in unknown condition. He has owned it for 35 years and drove it for 10 but it has been stored for 25 years until last year. Driver side pan is rusted.. Some surface rust. Interior needs to be redone.

The question - I can afford to sink money into the car but I can't do the work myself. I don't know enough and I am in my 80's. My guess is that our best bet is to sell it to someone who will do the work because paying someone else is an uneconomical bet. Opinions?

Removed both leaf springs at once because as usual not a single video I watched mentioned anything about doing one side at a time until AFTER I did it.

The pumpkin has been supported by a jack the whole time but it did roll slightly forward on the pad and at one point I did press down lightly on the driver side wheel by accident.

Other than making installation of the new springs harder for no reason, is there anything I could have potentially misaligned or need to check before I walk away?
