LOL! Relax 98Rick. You need to read the whole post. Your buy is the exception. That car is worth exactly what you paid for it, probably more. I wouldn't give you 15k for it though! ;-)
The types of cars/buys I'm talking about are 5.0's with 100k on the odometer and the seller wants $8000 for it just because it has gears and a catback. Like I said before, I paid $7600 for my 5.0 with less that 20k on the odometer with a factory warranty intact. So maybe now you understand why maybe I was little harsh in my post, calling buyers "stupid", and sellers "clowns". But thats just the market and whether I agree with it or not, that's just the way it is. :rollseyes
So you can anyone tell me why people think that these cars a apprectaiting, and not depreciating? C'mon, I mean give me a break. Hell, they made over 200k in 88 and 89, half being 4 cylinders. Is there some sort of shortage of 5.0 Mustangs? I think not. What there is a shortage of is CLEAN cars that some 17 year old kid hasn't gotten ahold of and trashed mechanically and cosmetically.
I think the market is starting leveling out a little for a used Fox body car. The high demand cars, such as the coupe and the Cobra are going to always command the premium price, even though there are even lesser built cars, such as the Canary Yellow Special Edition convertibles. My buddy has one with black leather and a 5 speed......they only made 1503 that year and 452 had a 5 speed. The bitch is, the demand is for Cobras and coupes even though there were more made, especially the coupes. Besides not many people can do a yellow car, myself included.
Ok, I'm done defending what I said, and I'm done with my short story. So flame on! :thumbsup:

sorry didnt mean to flame on you, just some cobra people think their car are better than a old lx coupe.but one thing for sure is that clean cobras or lx coupes are becomming few and far between.

You didn't hurt my feelings any. I knew what you were gettng at. If I had room in my garage for another Fox Mustang, it would be a coupe in either black or Titanium Frost.......5 speed of course! :beer:
I love the 5.0 lx coupes
Not to change the subject, but does anyone have the yearly production #s for 5.0 lx coupes?

Wish I could
I am covered up right now. After you leave Murillos just make a short 2hr detour to Temple, I will be at the shop all day. Hope you take a thick warm jacket... it was in the 80's today but Friday's high is 40 and will be dropping to the 20's by afternoon w/a 25-30mph north artic winds. :cuss:I'm back after driving straight there and back by myself in 30 hours. I'm pretty tired. The coupe done 493rwhp and 468rwtq. Thats only 15 degrees of total timing and belt slip at 5700. He burnt me a race tune w/ aggressive timing, or should I call it a "split block tune".
BTW, I slept in the back of my supercrew, its quite comfy might I add. Anyways, I fell asleep w/ the a/c on and when I woke up it was like 36 or something and I was freezing my nuts off.
