| Please help me decide--What would you do? |

Hey gents,
I was in a wreck a week ago in my 1970 Mustang--the 'stang's hurt pretty badly, at least $5000 worth of damage. The state trooper charged the accident as my fault, but my insurance company is contesting it because of the other guy's excessive speed. Either way, I was T-boned, and I can't decide what to do with the car.
I'm 18 so i don't have lots of money, but I can either hold on to my Mustang and get my parents to drive me around (it's not so bad) until I can afford to get it fixed, or I can part it out (I figure there's at least $5000 to $6000 worth of parts in it).
I would just wait, but there is a 1966 Fairlane 500 2-door hardtop with a 390-2bbl right down the road...for $1000. The body is straight as an arrow, no rust bubbles, just some surface rust where the original paint has worn thin, near-perfect interior. A one-owner car.
I figure I could part my Mustang out and buy the Fairlane and fix it up nicely with what's left over...what would you do? Is the Fairlane too good a deal to pass up? Is this a good time for me to upgrade to big block FE power?
Thanks,
Joe K.
