It's a beautiful car. A lot depends on the market where you are. Where I am I would expect to list it for $9k-$10k and figure to get knocked down to $8k-$9k, so other states it might be a $6.5k car.

Eastern NC on a Marine Corps base.

You at Camp Lejeune, New River, or Cherry Point? If you were not in a Marine town, you could probably get around $5.5k... but you may be able to squeeze another $500-$1,000 being a service town.

I would expect that to be around $8K here in Missouri. Asking price...not sure if they are getting that, but that's what I think it would start at. That's a nice looking car by the way .

That's a nice looking car, not too heavily modded.

I'm going to say $5500, but the best you might get is $4500 in this market.

You could ask more if you have time to fish, but that will reduce the number of potential buyers you get.

PS - If it has original paint (?) then I think you could ask a lot more......

Does it have any rust that you know of? From the pics it looks like its in great shape. I love how the mouldings and trim really make the bright red paint pop. The Capri sail panels are a nice touch as well. If the body is as good as it looks I would say somewhere in the $5500-6500 dollar range would be a safe estimate. It really is a nice looking GT.

Lejeune. I actually bought it back in May then got stuck with orders.

The only thing that sucks is the black paint on the hood is cracking, turns out to be spray paint (looks like someone had done a quick fix before I got it) So I guess I need to do the same thing they did. They did a really good job with the GT on the hood though, which I'm impressed by. I took a loan out for $4,500 on this car and I owe $3,900 it now.. I know Marines are stupid.. So I'd like to get some profit out seeing how I did put a lot of labor and time into this car. I hate to sell it but I'm going to be gone for 3 years. Thanks for the input though guys, I appreciate it!

Still a very nice looking 2R! And thank you for your service!

Bring me the car and the keys if you're going to be gone for 3 years. I'll be happy to hold it for you until you get back.....
