Folks I see threads like this all the time, didn't think I would start one. But you know you folks opinion matters, that's why I hang around
.
I am in a delima right now. As some may know I work for a repair center and we work on all types of cars.
Anyway let me get to the point
I have a customer here that has owned a 1989 GT conv 5-spd, grey leather, white top. Car has 75k on it. Everything in the car is original. This customer purchased the car brand new, had it special ordered in California. I have developed a good relationship with this customer because we both have foxes. I have actually loaned him mine so we could work on his. The car has benn maintained very well and not driven like a Stang. We have actually pulled the motor out to reseal it from all it's leaks. Which included a new oil pan. The A/C was just recently converted as well. Tires are new.
The bad---- rust has found it. The trunk lid is toast, $147.00. Pss front fender has some rust @ base of antenna. $100-$150 used from this site somewhere. pass seat is torn due to being parked in the sun and it dry-rotted, other wise seats look great. figure another $100 or so.. May need to be painted again due to water stains, may be able to buff though. Both rear window regulators are needed.
I have no pics yet.
Theytold me they wanted me to own the car because I have taken care of them and the car for years. Said they might give it to me for the most $3500.00. May be able to get for $3000.00. Not exactly the right time for money wise for me, but was told they are OK to wait untill next year.
Is this car worth the $$$$ I just keep thinking how hard it is to find a fox in stock form, and I kinda wanted a vert anyway.
Sorry again for this thread.
