I'm selling my '87 convertible - I have no idea: how much is it worth?

Sunnyoutside · March 31st, 2009, 01:09 PM

I'm starting a business and I'm thinking about selling my white '87 convertible.

Sorry, as of right now I don't have any pictures. I know that's lame, but my car needs to be registered and it needs a new battery and with all of the things I have on my plate right now - things like school and work and this and that - I can't get to those things right now. It's all about priorities.

If you could give me a ballpark idea - a guesstimate - that would be great. If you have any questions about my car, fire away, I'll answer 'em to the best of my ability.

1987 Ford Mustang convertible

The bad:

>needs a paint job

>needs a steering pump

>white convertible top is dirty

>has a dent on the rear quarter panel

>needs a new battery

The good:

>the body is in pretty good condition

>130,000 original miles

>5.0 V8

>runs great

>no rips or tears in the interior

It's stone stock with no modifications.

Anyway, I went with my gut, basically guessed, and i listed it for $2200 on cl. Thanks for your post

I'd agree with about $2k. Any spare parts for it lying around?

yeah verts aren't as desirable anymore even though they were allot more from the factory brand new back in the day.

Why is that about the verts not being as desirable anymore??

I dont know here guys. I would think with the paint being bad ( need to know how bad ), the dent in the rear 1/4 ( which is the worst place to have a dent ), and the 130k $2000 seems kind of steep. I wouldnt see myself putting out more than 1200-1500 for it. But its hard to say without having pics of it... Kelley says an 89 ( which is the oldest it will go ) is only worth 2500 in excellent condition. But then agian it also has a GT convertible listed as well ( Which I would think would be worth more as it never existed )...

darkhorse50 · March 31st, 2009, 03:52 PM

I'd say around 2k as well, maybe +/- $200

What do you mean " it never existed"? A GT convertible was available in 87 - 93.

If I read this right, you my friend need to educate yourself because GT convertible do exist and I just happen to own one...and guess what? I am far from being the only one!!!

Damn you beat me to it!!! I was so

when I read that...

91Project · March 31st, 2009, 04:06 PM

OK, I should rephrase myself... There are GT verts, just none of them came from the factory that way...

Better?

I think what he means is that your 89 and my 88 were originally coups and we sent them off and had the tops cut off, the doors cut and a vinal top put on.

I was under the impression taht all fox verts were LXs... ( Putting a GT body kit on a vert would be a little more resaonable than cutting the top off a coupe )

Am I mistaken?

Yes, you are mistaken, GT convertibles came like that strait from the factory man...
