OMG lolz $3k for this?

I've been casually browsing Fox Mustangs on the local Craigslist. I know that Fox Mustangs are increasing in value but this is nuts. Really you want $3K for this POS? Enjoy :mullet: I wouldn't touch that car with a 10 foot pole.

Selling my mustang I've had it for over 4yrs and ave not put 100miles on it , I bought of my uncle as a project car but never got around to it , don't have the time. It's 5.0 motor fox body runs great , strong motor and trans , manual 5spd ,,needs BODY WORK, battery, and new tiers I'm asking 3000 cash , I'm pretty much firm on the price but no reasonable offer will be refused ,

I could see it getting 3K...IF the interior is in good shape.

And there's NO rust underneath. Betting there is, though. Keep an eye on it...see how quickly it moves out...


Talk him down a grand, find a sweet little rustless mid 80's notch, and boom! Complete swap stuff. I'm really kicking around the idea of shelving my '87 and instead putting all of it's goods and parts into and on the '84 notch.

If I stay on plan though, the '87 notch will eventually be a melding of '89 LX 5.0, '94/'95, and '99 Mustangs, by virtue of the bigger swap pieces. Oh, don't let me forget the GT40/Cobra parts, too. LOL
'84 Mustang
'98 Explorer 5.0
'03 Focus, dropped a valve seat. yay. freakin' split port engines...
'06 Explorer EB 4.6

Problem is with that car I'm betting to make it really nice (ie like my Thunderbird) it's going to need:

Body work to put it back to original GT condition and get rid of the awful bumper cover and tail lights.

Interior work

engine rebuild/trans work

It'll cost $3k plus several thousand in parts and body work. When all is said and done one would probably sink $7-10K into that thing. Or buy this for $13K and be ahead of the game: http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/cto/4960274008.html

But there are still some reasonable people out there (even if they can't spell "convertible"):

For $2800 that Mustang better come with the lady in the pictures. Actually they would have to pay me more than $2800 to take the lady off their hands. A lot more.

Yeah we have that expression around here too. Usually means rust on the lower inch or two of the doors :mullet:
