Ford Mustang: 87 LX Value

Hi, a family friend called to tell me their brother is selling his 87 LX 5.0
hatchback, 105K, mint condition. He's looking for $4500.

Now, I'm looking for a 67, so I'm not sure why he called me on this, but I
figured I'd check it out anyway.

It is a beautiful car, and having had an 88 GT, I'm sure its fun, but that
price seems way high. I checked NADA and Kelley Blue Book, both have it
about $1600-3000. Anything special about these that would make it worth
more?

Thanks

I have an '87 LX 5.0 hatch (with 215k miles and probably not in as good
cosmetic shape as this one). Although it's worth a lot to me, I'd say $4500
is pretty high. I only paid $5500 for my '92 GT 'vert (82k miles at
purchase) three years ago. Since what Patrick says is true about quickness
(but wasn't that true for the notchbacks rather than the heavier hatch?) and
this one is purported to be in immaculate shape, I'd think it would be at
the high end of the book values (say, $2500-$3000), but $4500 is up there.
