Or an 86 GT vert for the same price - $7300. If I had the choice between this one or the Florida SSP I'd take this one.....

1986 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle...

1986 mustang gt convertible 5.0, manual transmission, Original not a conversion.. Paint has a few...

That 86 is pretty sweet. I think it might be pretty rare too. The largest majority of Metallic Mineral Grey cars had the Canyon Red interior. I know this because... That one is the most tempting for me so far.


In other news: I knew this thread would be a good idea. 7500 usually gets it out of "trash heap" territory unless the seller is asking WAY too much. That is often the case but look how much better the car samples have gotten in this thread since we started it.

I was getting [really] tired of seeing junk cars going for $10k that are no where [near] that value IMO while some on this forum swear up and down that it's what these cars go for these days. I call bull. The price tag should reflect how mechanically sound the car is and [not] a bunch of tastelessly slapped on mods that often hurt performance.

How about this for $4,200 OBO.

Not really a fan of the wheels, but it has been converted to 5 lug. Body kit stuff on it is kinda meh, but over all looks like a good start for someone at the price.

This one here is kind of a mess but a lot can be forgiven for $4200. This is the right idea for this thread.

Maybe we should start another thread of modify this thread to something like:

Cars being sold for what they're worth.

Having said that, I still think that the $7500 range is perfect for the hand's-on enthusiast that doesn't want to begin with a nightmare. Maybe do a $4k range thread

Never been a fan of the whale fin, otherwise it's not bad. If I was in the market I'd definitely consider it.

The motor, drivetrain, and obvious look of, "I have been shade tree'd to ignosium" is what gives me the most pause. Reasonably certain it has enough parts to run and drive just looking at the ad. The body condition would make or break this one for me. Obviously, panels have been swapped so I'd have to see how the unibody looked before I could say it's worth the $4k.

The tail I can find GT tails all day long in any State. They don't rust
