For erections lasting more than four hours, please consult your local muscle car dealer.

Y’all wanna see something crazy? CLEAN Vert GT prices are outrageous. You’d never know because most people aren’t looking for them. But, spend a few minutes looking for a clean vert GT and your jaw will drop.

On a more serious note, there seems to be plenty out there right now. Fastbacks carry a premium, though. Best bet might be to find a coupe in nice shape for a good price and convert it to a fastback.

Yeah, I’ve been creeping CL a lot lately. There’s a 69 FB in NOLA for $17k. Best condition/lowest price I’ve seen

All this talk is making me not want to mess with my quarters on mine.

Not like I haven’t already messed with everything else already though.

It's not even that nice. Surface rust and oxidation all over the engine bay and underside. I have seen better cars...for less.


Cars up here in the northeast are massively overpriced.

I was going to mention that myself. I'm not from the northeast, but that seems to me an indicator that the car probably wasn't garage kept? Probably was driven during winter from time to time?

My '95 Cobra spent the first fifteen years of its life in Wilmington, DE. The underside looks nothing like that car. Neither does the bracketry under the hood.

I would say yes. At some point in that cars life, it was a daily driver based on that corrosion. I'm sure it's sitting pretty in a garage now, but I've seen cars far cleaner on the underside.

However....for New England...that is rust free relatively speaking. There's a reason why a liberal nany state like MA doesn't give a damn about emmissions testing cars older than 1996....they just don't last here if daily driven. They usually rot away and are in a junkyard by that point. Anything older than 1999 or so still on the road here is usually a summer toy.

I wouldn't. Seriously Dave. I even consider "rolling the fender lip" to be unthinkable.

Gotta preserve that patina or it won’t be worth $25k when you sell it.

I'm not sure that they are actually gaining value that quickly - ALL car prices have been on the rise, and there are a lot of reasons for that. They are probably outpacing the average slightly just because of dwindling supply and a bit more demand as disposable income allows people to buy the car from their youth.

You still would have been better off putting 5K into the market years ago than into a Fox body from an investment perspective.

Cars are not investments, property is an investment.
Those cars advertised at high prices rarely sell for near asking price, unless it is rare and has a story, then you have to wait for the right buyer.
