"Value" of any guitar is essentially determined by who is looking for it. Basically, at this point, "collectors" value is completely out of the question... so the current "value" is determined solely by players value... and players swing both ways when it comes to finish... some want a refined player piece, some don't. Some will buy a refined piece only to strip it again so they can have a natural wood mustang. Takes all kinds.
What will really determine how this piece is valued NOW is how it plays, sounds, and feels.
Ultimately, though, the vintage guitar player's market is pretty much split 50/50 on the refin question. If you're looking to sell, you'll undoubtedly have a buyer no matter what you decide to do.
PS. HOLY CRAP, I KNEW I'd see that guitar before!! Another Jersey Boy!! You bought the guitar from a dude in Rumson!!! I was thinking of buying it myself!!... but then I had to wonder why someone from Rumson needed to sell a '65 Stang anyway... Anyhoo, I'm near New Brunswick, but I gig down that way all the time!! Welcome to the board!

As far as the finish,it's kind of a tough call. The guitar has been seriously devalued with it's present finish. Refinishing it to a period correct color might make it more appealing cosmetically,but it's not going to add that much value to the guitar. Original finish, even if it's a bit beat up, is always far more desirable as far as collectability and will fetch a higher price then a refinish. Would you do it yourself or pay to someone to do it? How much did you pay for the guitar? Here's a 65,all original, with an asking price of $2400 which is pretty reasonable.

The first is that it seems a previous older got rid of the finish and put varnish over it to have it be wood colored. This is a picture of it.

If I decided to refinish it in its original daphne blue what would
I be doing to the value of this guitar?
The other question is that the neck has a date of 1965
and Kluson tuners. Is that period accurate?
