Ok, I don't remember if I posted this here but I didn't see it in my posting history so here goes. A year ago I had and sold a 91 GT. I miss her. So a few months ago I went for a ride in my cousins 91 LX with a 347 stroker and I was totally impressed. Ever since then I been looking to get a Fox Mustang, T-Bird, Cougar, or Mark VII...anything with a pushrod engine. A few weeks ago I ran into a dude who has an 86 GT. I wanted to buy it but I can't afford it right now. I offered a straight up trade...my 96 Mark VIII for his GT. I offered because I was sure he would turn me down but he agreed to it. I really want the GT but I want to know if you guys out there would make this trade if you were in my shoes.
I bought the Mark VIII a year ago for $1050 and since then I put on 4 new tires and pads and rotors at all 4 corners. It still needs front wheel bearings and some front end work (tie rods and such). And the passenger window does not go all the way up. The GT has been sitting for a while. It needs tires, the radiator leaks a little and the guy says it needs a master cylinder because the brakes go to the floor. I think it just needs to be bled or there is a leak somewhere but I haven't had a chance to inspect it. The interior is a little dirty, the arm rests are missing from the door panels, the electric window switches are missing and the horn doesn't work. So would you trade if you were me...??
