How much can I get for my 95 GT come spring time?

[GToddyT5]

I don't really need/want my GT anymore...it just sits there. The Cobra is hella slower, but I don't have much of a need to go fast anymore. How much do you guys think I can get for my GT?

103k on chassis, about 10k on forged block, 20-30k (??) on blower and receipts for all work ($10K+)

Has nothing stock on engine, upgraded fuel system, gears, rebuilt T5 (300 mi).

 

[red95gtconvert]

I would say 6500

1000 ....lol im just playing lol these threads are so hard to guess... what are mustangs generally going for in the area.? you know you never get what you put in them

 

[cobra29svt]

6500-7000?

 

[GToddyT5]

That's what I was figuring.

 

[trav_19]

what a 1000 lol got any more pics of the engine and stuff?

I would say, you might as well try for 10,000. You never know. Plus, if you're looking for $8k but start at $10k, the guy will have talked you down.

There's a Mustang dealer near me that had a '94 Cobra w/ cloth seats that was cammed and blown, and they wanted $14,000. Granted, it was in spectacular condition...but still.

We don't drive on salt with our cars...that stuff is for food, like French Fries...mmm French Fries!!!

The climate in Florida will eat up cars faster than the climate in Michigan, IMHO.

 

[MustangGT95]

Cars here are really cheap yo. I almost bought a nice black vorteched fox with a lot of mods for 4500$. I wish I had the chance to get that deal again.

Only if you live on the coast(salt air)...other than that, your statement makes absolutely no sense.

I would much rather buy a '66 Mustang from Florida than from up North.

 

[ShortThrow50]

depends i guess if you have all reciepts

...who ever drives a mustang in the winters a retard..

There's a lot of people out there that qualify, and buying a Mustang doesn't necessarily make you excempt.

Honestly people, are you saying you wouldn't buy a Fl. car over a northern car if you had the chance?

Keep in mind:
-Not everyone stores their car in winter.
-Not everyone knows how to properly store a car.
-Not everyone washes their car after driving it on salty roads.
-Not everyone tells the truth about what they did with a car they're selling.

Like I said, that was MHO. Wherever you are in Fla you have constant sun fading the paint and interior, plus it tends to dry out the rubber window and door seals. That plus the salty air you mention, and you get pretty heavy wear on cars. Compare that to Michigan where the majority of cars are bought and driven on the south east side of the state where they get almost no snow and hence no salt. On the specific example of a '66 stang, if you found it in MI, chances are it spent most of it's years here, but found in FL chances are no one knows where it has been over the last 40 years. Again IMHO.

i always take a car to a friend that has a lift and get it in the air you can tell if a car was a winter driven car pretty easily and with the history of automotive collision specialist in the family thay can spot anything on a car just walking up to it...i would buy a southern car over a coast car... like mentioned your cars always have the heat they get exposure to salt water all year long in michigan lower... we get like one day a year you need 4x4 its so mild up here...its exposed to salt probey 3 times a year max if it was a true winter driven car. i have seen a car that spent 30 years in arizona and boy was that car hit! all the rubber was dry cracked the paint was a dull pink interior was destroyed..i think your conditions are worse then up here

 

['66 coupe]

I will agree that the sun beats the paint and interior. But if you all get to point out that people store cars during winter, I get to point out that we have garages that the car will sit in 16 hours a day minimum.
When my car isn't in my garage, it's in the parking garage at school.

Also, the salt air ONLY affects cars on the coast. Despite what northerners think, most people in Fl. don't live on the coast. Really.

My '95 was sold in Fl. and it has been registered with the Fl. DMV every year. I have no cracked weather stripping at all. Ford leather cracks like a MoFo on the other hand...especially on a 'vert.

On the specific example of a '66 stang, if you found it in MI, chances are it spent most of it's years here, but found in FL chances are no one knows where it has been over the last 40 years.

DSO codes are a beautiful thing. My car was built in San Jose in Nov. '65. It spent most of it's time in Ca. 'til the 80's when it was registered in Nevada. Then in 1991, it was brought to Fl. I know exactly where my car is from.

My old roommate bought a '66 Mustang that was from Va.(DSO'd in Va. and had a Norfolk Navy base pass on the bumper).
This car had rust holes in the middle of the VIN number on the inner fender!!!

I will agree that Fl. beach cars are worse. My neighbor had a '66 Mustang he bought off ebay. The DSO was Miami or some beach town. It had rust in the roof!!! But this is rare.

Most people in the classic forums would love to get a Fl. or Ca. car. I just find it funny that you all think otherwise.

how does florida weather treat your top??

how does florida weather treat your top??

My top looks like new.
Most of the 'verts I looked at buying had tops that looked like new. I've also seen several cars in parking lots with crappy tops.

I've only had my car since August, and as I said, my car is almost constantly garaged.

Honestly, it all just comes down to WHO owns the car; not what state it's from.
You may take better care of your car than most people in Mi. I know I'm totally anal about my car's condition and maintenance. But I'm also sure there's people in Fl. that would try off-roading in a '95 GT.

Like I said, I just thought it was odd that you all had a different opinion of where to buy cars as opposed to the classic forum.
