I am looking to improve the value in my 5.0, How can I improve my car as it stands now? Not looking to sell it soon, but maybe in the future for a 99+ GT, seeing there only around 6 G's and up now. How much could I get out of it now, and how much can I get out of it with some improvment's?

rust free and low miles seem to be a big selling point

keep all the original stock stuff. so if anyone wants it then you can put it back or give it to them. 5.0s are getting rare, somones gonna want a stock car that they can mess with. not one you have messed with.

also for big installs reciepts showing that things were professionally installed helps too.

$6500 OBO sounds about right... of course thats OBO and a 5spd would really help.

Allready doing that, That was my plan from the start. But seriously, how much is it worth?... $6500 seems kinda high I think. I would expect a SC for that money.

good paint and some rims are a nice eyecatcher for buyers, but thats if you want to spend the money to get it back...

i said that with OBO and i wouldnt make the price known until the buyer stops to look at the car. then you can say you want $6500 but will be flexible. seller always starts high while buyer starts low, that way, you can find a price in the middle you both agree on.

If I could get around 6 G's then I could have a 99-00 GT, there are a bunch of nice ones right now for around 6-7 G's.

Park it in the garage and never leave it alone in a parking lot....you come and it will be gone! Every where I go, I can't go there without someone talking to me or waving...I feel like a celebrity!!
