Safety first
Brakes, steering, tires, fuel leaks, lights, wiring basics, and cooling should come before trim or performance spending.

1967 Mustang Restoration Budget Planner
Build a phase-based budget before buying a project, approving body work, or filling a cart with parts. The planner keeps safety, rust, drivetrain, interior, paint, and contingency in one view.
Budget range
Safe driver coupe
$37,400 - $50,900
This includes the entered purchase price, a practical restoration range, and contingency. Use it as a planning guardrail before purchase or parts ordering.
Structure decides scope
Cowl, torque boxes, rails, rockers, shock towers, and floors can turn a bargain into a long body-shop project.
Parts plan before cart
Use the budget to sequence manuals, tools, sheet metal, seals, mechanical parts, interior, paint, and trim.
Planning note: This is a screening range, not an appraisal, quote, or guarantee. Actual cost depends on local labor, shop standards, hidden rust, parts fitment, and how much work you do yourself.
Range context: The planner is calibrated against current restoration-cost guidance showing that professional classic-car work varies widely by rust, labor hours, paint standards, and shop rate. Cross-check the site restoration phases, parts plan, and shop quotes before committing money.
