Wow, I feel rich... that makes my GT worth about $50,000. I saw that auction when it first started, and I would probably own the car right now if I wasn't 2,000 miles away. Considering the price of mustangs today, $4,000 really isn't a bad deal, especially considering the fact it was a GT and had a ton of options. I'm planning on buying a '66 fastback 4-speed for $7,000 thats in pretty rough shape. I feel dumb paying that much, but like that GT convertible, where else are you gonna find one? A few years back I found a guy with (among other things)three '69 convertible GT's, and one was all black w/ a 4-speed. I considered buying them, but I was messing around with early Ford and GM stuff at the time and really didn't know much about '69 mustangs (I had a hipo '66). The cars had been sitting in a Michigan junkyard and were totally rusted out. I also found a green '69 GT convertible about 2 years ago. The car was rusty and had been sitting for years. I would work out a price with the guy and come back the next week to pay him and he would raise the price $500 (he did this to me on a few cars). Usually the guy was half drunk and had no idea what he was doing. After about a year, I went back to work a deal out and found he had parted the car out. Everything was stripped off, and the back end had been cut apart. Anyway, those are the only GT convertibles I have ever seen... aside from the show pieces and the one I bought.
Man what a car, even in that gold color.
