guy called about some things I had for sale and we got to talking cars, and his mustang is for sale. 88 GT vert, white with white top and grey interior, 5 speed car. 306 with TFS heads and track heat upper and lower, 4.10's, and 4 point cage with NOS 100 HP shot, centerline wheels. He said he car has 70K orig miles probably less since the 4.10's are in the rear. I asked what he wanted for it and he told me to come look and make him an offer, any ideas??
Meh ... I'm gonna say $3,500. Being that it's modded like that, and has a 306 (which tells me he already blew the motor once and needed a rebuild), it's been ragged out for a lot of those 70k miles. If it was 70k and totally original, it'd be worth a lot more - THEN maybe $5,000 or so - but as it sounds, I wouldn't give more than $3,500 for it, myself.
Dude, think about it. You don't just rebuild a motor on a whim. It needed it for a reason, and a 302 that's properly cared for and not beaten to death will rarely (if ever) fail within 70k miles. Especially when you consider all the other mods put into the car, I'm sorry, you can NOT tell me that car hasn't been beaten on quite a bit. People don't go through that much time/expense to set their car up for drags just to look at it - they're made to RUN. And with a rebuilt motor, is HAS been run ... a LOT.
