What do you guys think this car is worth? Its a '87 LX 5.0 5 speed one owner SC car. All original and bone stock other than flowmaster mufflers...Everything works as it should on the car and its always been garage kept. Sorry for some of the shitty image quality. I believe it has 170k miles but it runs great and everything works
What's this notch worth?

I would guess that should land between 8k-11k. The mileage is pretty high. I wouldn't mind having that and restoring her. Notchbacks are surging in popularity and value. Ten years ago that would be a 3k car.
I agree with TK but would knock off $1k or so for the porno red interior. So $7-8k...and if the body & paint is really nice maybe $9k.
I had an 88 GT when I was a kid and it had that red interior. I thought it was the coolest thing back then, but it looks hideous now. It's crazy how tastes change.
Red interior, speed density car.. ehh 6-7k.
You have to sell the car on it's cleanliness, not it's color options/year. The 90-93 cars are absolutely better. Front fenders are larger for bigger wheels, better wiring, little less 80's in color choices, etc. But from a cleanliness and originality standpoint, that's a solid buy.

I'd say 6k tops. Regardless, it's still 170k mile foxbody.
I had a 92 notch that I bought in 08-09. I sold it after about 18 months, it was to nice and I wanted a faster car.
It was medium titanium metallic, factory non ac, 5 spd, with 38k miles. I sold it for about what I paid which was 10.5k.

speed density car??
clean AF!
You think values will continue to rise over the next few years? Maybe something to do with a nostalgic generation?

Me with a mop is like a frog riding a bicycle.
The car belongs to my soon to be step father. I expressed interest in it 3-4 years ago when I met him. He's ready to part ways with it and offered it to me for a price lower than anything said here so far...
5 years ago I wanted a car like this to mod up as a clean, badass street/strip car. Now with my c6z, I've mostly lost interest in them. I'm still considering getting this car though.
Indeed. I'd post more pictures, but I don't want to take up all of op thread.

well, I’d hop on it then, because someone will pay the numbers you’re seeing posted here

I'm not an expert, but I think the notchbacks and Fox Cobras will level off but remain the most desirable of that gen.
When I was in the market for a 93 Cobra about four years ago, the low mileage examples were going for the high teens; now they are 10k more. The nostalgia of these vehicles is strong because it was "the car" back in its day. Who knows where the prices will end up, but I don't expect them to climb much higher.
I can agree with your statement to a point. I see it as either what you say, or perhaps more.
It's inevitable that these cars become harder to find. They get wrecked, parted, race car, junked, crushed, rotted out.. people take advantage of how prolific they are and have done so for 20 years. But it's to the point where they don't litter junkyards anymore. They don't go for a couple thousand with a clean bill of health. And so long as Ford and other OE's continue to develop hybrid/electronic nanny laden performance cars, the true driver cars will continue to rise in price as the supply of them dwindles. This is more a general statement, not specific to foxes.
I think the thing that opened most peoples eyes was the incidences like where the ZL1 popped an airbag hitting a bunny hop on a road course. Despite what we do, nothing will beat your standard RWD V8 bucket of a car with 20-30 years of aftermarket development.
So I've seen from 5k-11k here... That's a pretty big gap. The car is super clean, but it is high mileage. But also all original and unmodded. I've had a hard time coming up with a figure on it. It could be kept original or would make a super nice restomod /coyote /terminator swap platform. I think I'm gonna jump on it and keep it in the shop for a while and see what happens.
If it's sub 5k, you'd be stupid to not buy it.
