If you buy to enjoy or admire.
After all people drop large sums on modern disposable cars/appliances that lose 50% after five years.
So even if you were to lose on resale for a classic it will be small change compared to a modern car.

Mustang parts pretty sure everything is replaceable from the likes of CJ pony parts, summit racing and rock auto.
At a guess some brake and suspension parts will cross over to the Falcons of the era?
Just bought a full 289 gasket set for $155.
Rear wheel cylinders for Mustang $9. Front caliper repair kits around $20, etc.
Thats the thing, resale isn't a huge issue for me. Just wanted to know out of curiosity.

The aftermarket parts supply seems to be plentiful due to how many Mustang cars were made and still around. Common yes they seem to be, by the looks of things. But could be more affordable to replace items in the long run?

Rare Spares seems to be the only mob that you can get some parts for 60s falcons. Depending on what you're looking for that is.
