$6-9k.

It’s got a lot of nice parts, but not a whole lot of info on the car itself. Year? Rust? Approx mileage? Does everything work?

 

[OldManRiver]

Take 1/3 of $15934 add a few thousand for car and you have your price.

 

[Rdub6]

This is exactly why I stopped keeping track of what I’ve spent!

sad but true. I just enjoy the outta what I spend on her, then I figure I got my moneys worth already.

 

[General karthief]

@Blueinfan this is your car right?

 

[Blueinfan]

@Blueinfan this is your car right?

Yes it sure is. No rust at all. Had 91k miles on it. Engine is still stock. Does run but the car is NOP



Cons:
Day running light don’t come on but does have a new headlight harness n bigger alternator
Needs to be painted n new top
Gas gauge is inaccurate.

 

[General karthief]

You've spent so much, your close to finished.......and NOP??
is that "non operational"??
If your selling it now, you're losing your azz.
Just my opinion now.

 

[Mustang5L5]

I think not being painted will be the biggest hurdle. A decent paint job is $5-10k, so that’s an expense someone will need to put into the car unless the can DIY or know someone.

Even painted, and fully assembled and 100% working, you don’t get your money back.

That’s what I’ve been told. Kind of regretting it now that I’m so deep into this project. I wasn’t expecting to spend this money into after someone told me I couldn’t do it. Yes, I’ve learned a lot from this project n won’t do it again.

I guess my kids will have a good solid car when I die.

Painting it, can’t see myself spending another 10k. But have looked into a plastic dipping it or installing vinyl on it. After reading some of your comments I guess I’m keeping it now unless I get a hood offer on it.

The car does run but has no tags n have it as non operational. I take it out of the garage n drive it to the end of the street n back. I have my kids go to each end n look out for cops.

Now for the top it runs about 2200 to have a shop do it. If I do it then obviously the cost will be way less. Will have to watch videos on the installation of one.

I’m not a mechanic but an IT Security guy.

I have turned wrenches when I was growing up up but not this much.

The car will stay in the garage. I do it plan on paying the registration n taking it to car shows. She already turns heads when I park her on my yard. People come over n want to talk about the car.

 

[General karthief]

The price of building a car: endless
People talking to you about it: invigorating

 

[Mustang5L5]

These cars really aren’t about a return of investment unless you buy a collector car like a Cobra, keep it stock, and just let it appreciate.

For the rest of these run-of-the-mill 100k+ mile cars, they are all money pits. They are worth more in parts, and you’ll soak $10-20k into them and get pennies for your dollar on return.

These are hobby cars. It’s about the love of wrenching on them and driving them. A lot of folks selling modded cars for $15-20k probably have a lot more than that into them.

I’ve learned my lesson on cars now. But yes, I’m almost done working on the car. Just have to fix some minor issues.

This is the color I’m going to plastic dip it. If I do it right it should last 4 years. The car will be kept in the garage.

 

[KRUISR]

$6-9k.

Take 1/3 of $15934 add a few thousand for car and you have your price.

I agree with these estimates. Most of what is in your list would be items that are wear or personal preference cosmetic items and really don't add value to the price. Most of the aftermarket suspension bits may add a slight little bit to value, but nowhere near their cost.

This is the color I’m going to plastic dip it.

For me, this just dropped the above value $1-2k. Just my opinion, but to me anything that is plastic dipped is because they were too lazy to do the body work right for a good paint job (and I am not talking a $10-15k paint job either). This may not be the case, but that is my belief (and I am sure many other buyers).

 

[Mustang5L5]

That stuffs not fun to take off either.

 

[Mstng93SSP]

You can prep the car (sand etc) yourself and find someone to spray it. As for the top, I have done 3 convertible tops myself. All turned out better than a shop doing it. I say this because once you have the top on you can pull staples, restaple to adjust and get out any wrinkles that are there. It is not hard. Just need a good stapler and maybe a helper.

 

[Mstng93SSP]

First top I ever did. Zero prior experience. This is a current picture. Did the top in 2013.

 

[mob]

Unfortunately verts are just less desirable and there isn't much you can do about it, can't turn it into a coupe. That same car as a coupe could get 15k+ easily.

 

[Mstng93SSP]

True, but a vert in California is different than owning a vert in South Dakota, or Buffalo....or any of those places where summer is July 3rd through the 17th....

 

[General karthief]

Add Florida to that list of convertible states.
