how much is it worth?

Lot's of customizing...

It's a tough one to sell, as you need to find a buyer who is looking for a modded car.

i would say about 5,500? just a guess

AAhhh my friend,
You can't justify a higher price than what you paid for it just because you spent a good bit of money customizing it. There will be those that will absolutly love what you have done to it. They will be the one that will give you what you want for it. And there are those who will absolutly hate what you have done to it and would give you nothing for it. The trick is to be very patient and find someone who loves what you have done to it. Then, there are two happier people when the deal is done.

LOL!! You should have posted like this:

You can't... justify.... ahigherpricethanwhatyoupaidforit...... just......BEcause..... you spent agoodbitofmoney.......customizing it.

He's right, the devil is in the details. No door sills or horn button. Dingey looking guage bezel. I'm thinking if it had black carpet and door panels, the seats wouldn't look so out of place. The wadded up carpet in the trunk looks tacky. The paint looks very nice, but it wasn't jambed. The lip around the trunk, where the fenders bolt to the aprons, the lower part of the cowl where it meets the lip on the firewall are all orangey looking and dull and scratched and don't match the shiney outside paint. Missing the trim around on the inside of the grille. It looks like the Exxon Valdez crashed into your nifty MSD distributor. The stripes look like they were just taped off straight and not to the dimensions of the Shelby cars. Most people don't know that the widths vary. It's done that way so that the stripes look like they don't. If you don't do this, they tend to look skinny on the roof and at the base of the windows.

Most of the stuff I described is just spending the time to wash and detail the car out. The interior stuff would cost what, $150-$200? I think the intake needs to be pulled and the leak fixed. I think if it was all clean, jambed and the stripes painted right and carried thru the jambs you might get $7k-$8k for it to the right buyer.

I'm not knocking your car, it looks really nice and a lot better than mine. But as it sits, $5,500 - $6000 sounds about right to me. It also depends on what part of the country your in as well. Here in central OK, those prices I just posted look about right.

The major oil leak on the engine loks really bad even though its a easy fi. Just replace a few things, of course clean it up, that makes a big difference and probably get near 7.5K for it???

How did you get 3.73's for a 8"??????

The key is all in finding the RIGHT buyer, the person who loves everything you did to it.

I think if you put 100 hours of detailing time, 50 hours of work, and maybe $300 worth of parts you should get $7500. As it sits now I think others have said about right...$5-6K.

No offense but I'll be happy to hear the car will become owned by someone who cares about it again.

Just passing my gas here, (sorta like everyones 2cts)

I would have to agree with Edbert here.
Sell it to me for 6k and give me a few weekends to apply the right make up to her and I could turn it over for about 12k to some who wants it.
Even with that Red interior.

i didnt mean to offend you with my initial guesstimate of 5,500, but i just compared it to what i paid for mine when i got it..although mine was all original...every person likes things different, like stated above, find the right person who loves every bit of it and you will get the price you want..i once had a guy tell me he would trade his ford lightning strait up for my car, me being the nieve stupid 18 year old told him no...starting to regret that decision now...

You can always stick it on Ebay with a reserve price and see what that nets you. And it might give you some indication of what it's worth to the people who like your car. The worst that can come out of that is you have a better idea of what people will pay. The best that can happen is you get what you want for it. Just take the normal precautions when selling it if you go that route.
