I have two mustangs, a 66 gt350 clone and a 67 fastback that is in the middle of a restoration. I never drive the 66, even with a complete restoration done the right way, it still and always will drive like a boat. the 67 is being restomodded to try and avoid those same issues. It will have coilover front suspension and rear, modern EFI motor and 5 speed as well as gobs of insulation and chassis stiffening. The 66 is for sale and I never really want another early mustang, and even though it has appreciated in value, my enjoyment of a car is worth far more than the meager appreciation I will see. My Kirkham ( and my previous fiberglass cobra) are probably break even money wise but I enjoy it everyday and it drives solid and fast, no rattles,squeeks or sway. Unless your mustang is really a limited production model its appreciation will not be as great as you think. EBAY is full of them. There is no right or wrong answer here, but life is too short to waste it on a car that is sitting and you hate to drive.
