Answer 1

if you are looking for a daily driver, this is not your car, if you are a mustang enthusiast and want to rebuild it, then i would buy it no doubt.

Answer 2

broken rear axel is like under 500 to fix and I don't know about dents depends on how much the car is

Answer 3

Start calling junk yards and looking for parts and pricing on axle, you would need a couple of floor jacks and a couple of jack stands. I'd guess it's a two part axle. Take a weekend to fix if you have a good tool set. Injectors are another item.

What shape is the engine in, broken axles seem fairly rare unless it hit something was was used for racing.

Answer 4

No. "Needs injectors" is likely just a guess and you have a better than even chance of getting a bad engine plus whatever else you won't know about till you get it running.. 95 wasn't much of a year for Mustangs and that car wouldn't be worth more than 2 grand if it was running.

Answer 5

Finding junkyard parts to fix it should be a snap, but only if you're a decent wrench.  Even for just $800, I'd be inclined to let this one go by.  What with the racerboy wing gone bare, obvious dents and God knows what he had to do to thrash the axle - Ford makes some stout ones - it sounds like this car has been through the wringer.

If you go for it, be ready to fix a lot more than just the axle.

Answer 6

If your good with fixing cars its worth it and if your not its still worth it if your rich!!! Depending on the year late 70's and below i'd say buy it, hold on to it until you have lots of money then fully restore it. It's a great investment. I have a 69 corvette stingray in mint condition waiting to be fully restored then it's gonna be worth anywhere from 100-200,000 hellz yeah.
