eBay Find of the Day: Collection of 103 Mustangs plus parts, FREE SHIPPING!
click above for more images from this very valuable Mustang collection
We've already shown you one incredible auction today for a rare Ferrari FXX, but this one takes the cake. Fire up your eBay profile and get your mouse clicking for eight Mustang coupes, 13 convertibles, six fastbacks, four Shelbys and three Mach 1s in good shape, and 26 coupes, 11 convertibles and 24 fastbacks either for parts donations or candidates for restoration. Oh, and there's also thousands of used and new parts included in the deal. If you take the Buy It Now option of $950,000, you also get FREE SHIPPING from Puerto Rico!
It's an amazing Mustang collection, for sure, including three 1965 convertibles with 289s, a K Code 1965 fastback, a 1968 Shelby GT350 convertible and a 1968 Shelby GT500KR, a 1969 Cobra Jet 428, a 1969 390 S Code fastback, three 1970 Mach 1s, and a 2001 convertible GT for good measure.Several interested parties have already asked the seller to break up the collection, with the Shelbys getting the most attention, of course. But eBay seller martinstang says if the collection doesn't sell in a few months, the owners will consider offers for individual cars.
We took the list of cars straight from the auction listing, put them in order of date and pasted it (misspellings and all) after the jump. Check out the gallery for photos from the auction and see the auction listing for even more photos of cars and parts.
Thanks for the tip, Matt!

Perhaps Ford itself could buy them and display them in their museum.

Man this is rich as hell. To all the Yahoos that berate the Mustang, name one other car not named Corvette with this rich a heritage.

Wrong, way more Mustangs in the world than 911s of any kind.
Is the 911 a cooler car? Hell yes! The Mustang has a larger following. By following I mean people who actually bought the cars, not folks who just ogle them.
Has Porsche made their 1 millionth 911 ever? No.
Two special editions of the Carrera were produced – the "Commemorative Edition" in 1988 to commemorate 250,000 911s produced
The Mustang sold over one million units in its first 18 months on the market.
Mr. scorekeeper, I demand a recount.
rgseidl 12:17PM (1/28/2008)
Ok, I'll bite. VW Beetle. Not nearly as cool as a Mustang but definitely built in much larger unit volume.

Mr. Oak, to be fair, you asked for another car not named Corvette with "this rich a heritage", not for a car with a similar or higher number of sales. The 911 is intended to remain (relatively) exclusive. The Mustang was supposed to be the muscle car for the masses. It's not exactly the same thing.

the Honda Civic - you have to remember most the people who started racing Civics were musclecar guys upset with the state of Detroit, and real mechanical/automotive engineers (who cared about the machine and the technical aspect of car modification). You could argue that everything we see today in this second revolution of "factory-modified" bare bones track monsters since the 60's is attributed to the aftermarket success of the humble Honda Civic and its counterparts in other makes

If these cars are authentic, in reasonable shape, someone should buy the lot and head to Scottsdale...

These cars are so full of rust you would be insane to buy them! The frames must be boxed to save them and that would be a nightmare to deal with. I wouldn't touch them if they were half the price of a good California car.....

Ok Mr. PorscheDevotee, I stand corrected. The 911 also does have a rich heritage. Funny thing though, both the 911 and 'Stang were once on the endangered species list. Only kept alive because of customer demand. I bet both companies have since asked themselves "What were we thinking".

Miss, please. I'm a girl. :)
And keeping something alive because of customer demand sounds like a pretty good business plan to me!

"Richness of heritage." What a pointless argument. I'm a big Stang fan but something as personal and emotional as cars should just be appreciated by the individuals who love them, not argued by groups. Right now, out there, there is a guy who first got laid in the back seat of a car you hate who considers that brand and make the pinnacle of automotive achievement. And he has every right to feel that way.
As to the auction, I'd imagine they would make a LOT more money by breaking it up and letting people who drool over model X of stang to pay what they want for that one rather than forcing them to buy a bunch they don't want. Models for which they aren't as willing to pay fair market value. Personally, I'll take a 200 convertible for a daily driver and a K code fastback for the weekends please.

Puerto Rico huh! does it come with titles? Or are they all stolen from america. And if they are not stolen from america, then are they the correct size. Australian Mustangs are wider, so these might be the same, meaning: difficult to get new parts.

What the f, asshole? You should get a map before you even comment. Do you even KNOW where Puerto Rico is? Just s you don't have to go back to third grade geography class, let me give you a hint: Puerto Rico is IN America!
For the love of Peter G. Christ, "Australian Mustangs"?

If anyone that lives on an island or near a seaside area knows, the cars will somehow acquire rust. I wouldn't image most of the "parts cars" one step away from the scrapper.
