    Default my 86GT - what's a fair price to ask

    I've gone down the road of buying a new toy and was hoping for some advice on what others thought was a good price for my car. I've had the car for about 8 years and am the 3rd owner ( pretty much second driver since the 2nd owner put it in his garage and left it there ). I only put a few hundred miles a year on her and don't beat on it.
    Motor is a 302 out of a 94GT with GT40p heads (unported but milled for cleanup), TFS springs, TFS1 cam, headman longtube headers, catted dual exhaust, underdrive pullies, working A/C , explorer intake, BBK 65mm throttle body, 94GT mass air meter, CAI , aluminum radiator with Taurus fan.
    5 speed t5, rear end is a ford 9" with 3.50 gears w/ limited slip, 31 spline axles & rear disc.
    suspension is 5 lug w/ 96 cobra wheels , FMS C springs , Koni red shocks , adjustable upper rear control arms, tubular lower arms.
    front a arms had ball joints replaced & MM bushings on the body side. Steering rack is from a 2000s era GT with MM steering shaft, MM full length sub frame connectors welded in.
    Car was painted just about 3 years ago in dark cherry metallic, interior was originally tan but god help me with finding tan parts so I converted it to black with a mix of black parts & SEM interior dye. new black carpet front & rear, seats are out of a 99 anniversary GT. rear seats were recovered to match. All the gauges work ( not the amp meter, lol ).
    Car has always passed inspection. Motor mounts, tranny mount, bushings & seals were all replaced expect for the felt t-top seals.
    It could use a few little things but overall it runs and drives very well.

    I know opinions vary if your gung ho on originality or ultra performance or looking for a project etc so I figured i'd post up for some opinions. please let me know if you have any questions - it'll help with when I go to sell it.

    Up here, these would go for between 8 to 12,000, in the very good shape that is in. I have seen them as high as 15k, but i don't know if they got as much as they were asking. I would ask 9k for mine, without the blower on it. I'd take 8500. However, yours is finished nicely, while mine has more rough edges than yours.

    Nice car. $8-12k seems reasonable. The only problem is there are fewer who can afford much over $6k. Top of the line cars may get $15k and I'm not saying yours does not qualify.
