modified, sits in climate controlled gararge, seen rain twice, only
drive car in june for one week
out of the year, car has 5-speed and all
power options, its a hardtop, due to getting old and health not what it

much is my
car worth. as an old car guy I can say
this, this is one fine mustang, still looks
and smells new,,,,,,hope I can get serious

Re: value of a G.T.
In my _opinion_ it is a little late in the selling year for getting top
dollar for a collectible car. You car really sounds like a jewel
and is probably worth every penny someone will pay for it.
Again, this is only my_ personal opinion_ , if you can wait until
next year around Fathers Day store the car and then list it
on ebay. Take good pictures and spare no time giving a honest
and lengthy description. Good pictures and being honest sell !!!
It will sell for _far more than you ever dreamed of_.
In the mean time, enjoy it ! Take it out and drive it.
None of us are getting any younger. :-)
Good luck,
Gene

Re: value of a G.T.
Another thought, after I hit the send key........ ;-)
Go to www.google.com and type in "Mustang Magazines"
and send them info on your car. Your car is a "needle in a haystack".
Most will want to do a story on this jewel. Again, collect all the info
and praise and then list it next year when the buyers are paying top dollar.

Re: value of a G.T.
A car with that low mileage, and originality should command higher than
normal figures. Somewhere in near $7,800+ . My advice is to take lots of
pictures, build a web page, and place a listing on Ebay for it. You will
be very surprised what the car may fetch...............If your located
in the NY/NJ area, and do not want to be bothered with the listing, I
can do it for you for a fee....................

With time and patience you should be able to get a somewhat decent
price for the car, but you are still going to lose your ass on the
deal. Sorry to say that Nada only lists it as $4,435 high retail so
you are definitely going to have to wait for a hard core car nut to
make you an offer. It will take time or plain dumb luck.
Best chance is to try and contact some of the Mustang publications and
see if they are interested in doing a story on your car. That should
pump-up some of the interest level.
Only you can determine what you must have out of the car.
Unfortunately it has a long ways to go before entering any type of
collector status. It has all the makings, but no way of ever telling.
I would say that if you are truly interested in selling the car you
should peak some interest in just this group. You have mine right now
and if you want to start talking drop me an e-mail @ net
I will tell you this in advance. If I do buy it, it will not be a
garage queen again. I will drive it and enjoy it. I am truly sorry
you never had that opportunity. Cars aren't built to be left sitting
in the garage, well OK some are, but the primary purpose of them as
they were designed, is to be driven & enjoyed.

Again it depends on the object of the exercise. Not everyone can
"afford" to hold on to something waiting for the perfect buyer when
they need to sell. Most material items hold much more worth to the
current owner then a perspective owner. Personally I usually find it
a shame that a person has never had the time to get the enjoyment of
owning such a car. They were built to be driven to be enjoyed. Not
simply parked in a garage and hopping that some day it will be worth
mega-bucks.
