I agree with the sentiment of the other guys. Also, going from an 07' GT500 to a "stock" 88' 5.0 is going to leave you wanting. You'll likely get bored with lack of power rather quickly and then dig in to that low mile car which will depreciate the car by a lot.
I would have difficulty purchasing a car that's that clean and modding it.I had a GT500 dynoed at 664 rwhp with a slew of mods. Traded that in on a 17GT350. Pricey car with a big payment . Ive enjoyed it for the past year but going retro doesnt sound bad either .... esp around $10000 - $15000 price range.
Near retirement age and a fox body is alot easier to take care of. I had a 88 GT hatchback and loved it. Black with Grey.
HP wise ..... these cars .... mods are cheap and I definitly would put a blower on it with the appropriate support mods

I hear what you all say! ! Made a discovery. I work for a Ford store and our parts manager who has a modded fox body noticed in the pictures the windows are crank ....... crank windows for $25000 k no thank you !!
I missed it

That means it's an LX or a special order GT. Either way, it just became a little more rare.
How many of that combo were made?
So your saying crank windows in a GT is extremely rare and makes the car worth more?

I actually saw that. Didn't really take much away from the value in my eyes. Manual doors, windows and probably manual mirrors...but it has cruise. Means it was special ordered that way and more uncommon.
So while you are balking at it, others are looking approvingly.
Another car I would considered is the 93 cobra
And any fox body because I am use to at least 500 hp or more for the past umpteen yrs it will have a blower
Found this cobra in IL. for $24,800 asking and has a sweet blower on it in the color I want .... black.
50,000 miles .... a good every day driver
don
balking is a tad over the top; Im not hesitating at all
Like tv remotes .... once you have it you never go back.
will never have manual roll ups either ever again
don
Now that I would spend $20-25k on.
Just a thought. Have you driven a fox lately? I only ask because coming from a gt500 and gt350, you may find it very unrefined.
If it does, it won't be by much. 87+ GTs came standard with electric windows.
Power windows were not standard in 87 or 88 GT's. Not sure about 89 and on Foxes though.

Never saw any GT without the Custom Equipment Group, which included power windows, A/C, power mirrors, tinted glass, etc. It's probably a fake GT.I hear what you all say! ! Made a discovery.
