Sure,if done correctly using original parts and specs you could check off on the options sheet from the dealer. If it was a 66 fastback originally, that would be pretty valuable(not Shelby valuable) as they are rarer than the standard Mustang coupe. 2+2 with pony interior, hi perf 289 or a GT is valuable for that year.

A 66 coupe shouldn’t go for nearly that much
A rotisserie restoration would go for a LOT more than $30K, restomods could go for a lot more too. It depends on too many factors to guess.

Yeah, Mustang coupes are generally available very reasonable to dirt cheap depending on condition.

66 Coupes in good running condition are 4-10k. Show ponies are ~50% more.
As you add features, rarity, and condition... you climb the value ladder.
A real gt350 or gt500 are usually much more than 30k.
They'll always be rust buckets unless they've been through a full blast and resto. Which.... usually runs around 50k regardless of model or value (pos and gt alike).... unless you do it yourself.
Ultimately, the car is worth whatever someone will pay for it.
So, clone...or no clone. It'll only matter to you, and whomever buys it next.
I plan on buying an ac cobra clone at some point. I don't need the right vin numbers to enjoy it.

I can buy a 95% restored ( Maybe restomod, since it's not matching numbers) 66 Mustang coupe, with new crate 302 motor and factory rebuilt C4 trans, new pony interior and nice new Bullet green paint for 11,500 bucks. Needs some trim and bumpers. That may even be a little high priced.
Basically, that's the same car as what you are looking at.
Minus the Shelby treatment.
Coupes don't bring the price of convertibles and fastbacks. There are so many of them around.
Can make great daily drivers though.

Get the VIN and check it out before you even go look.
Doesn’t help much, for fake high value collectibles counterfeit VINs and altered serial numbers are not that rare.

There will have been rust on a 60's Mustang that's been driven quite a bit, but that's part and parcel of owning an older car.
It's a matter of checking how well the repairs were done. e.g., sections replaced or patched.

My father bought/rebuilt and sold old muscle cars as his hobby his entire life. I always loved the 64.5-66 Mustangs growing up, and that is the one car he absolutely refused to purchase. He said they’re well known to be rust prone and wouldn’t even look at them. So yeah, be sure to check for rust before purchase

That's the best advice I would give you. There are probably a few Mustang owner clubs in your area and they could suggest to you someone in the your area that would not mind going with you to take a look. They would know right away the authenticity and what the car is worth. And, there is the possibility that they may actually know the seller and his car.
Good luck.
