Three pricey '82 Mustang GTs on ebay right now!
I'll throw out my 2 cents in.
The red one, ( $17,995) is an 8-10K car if it was presented better. Poor paint finish, road rash and door dings. Come on, you can step up it's presentation. Cool original car, but top money demands no excuses presentation.
The silver one, ($21,000) is fantastic! Maybe the nicest one I've seen. He keeps lowering the price though. It'll sell at high teens.
The black one, ($26,995) is the former Dennis Collins car which sold at auction a couple years ago. I think it sold for around $20K, and that was all the money for it.
Am I in the ballpark? What do you guys think?

The only comment I can make on prices is the red one has been listed too high because it is listed by Streetside Classics. They think all of their cars are worth a lot more than they are.

The silver 82 GT is mine. One of the nicest 82's in existence. I bought it from another enthusiast a short time ago 1/18. I am currently enjoying my s197's more than the foxes so I am selling this to use the money to send my Shelby GT back to Shelby for a GT/SC conversion. It is a stunning car and I wish I could keep them all. Car has been in a book, magazine, won trophies, and looks, runs and drives as new. I have put about 1500 miles on it this summer. If you want the best this is it.
That has to be the nicest '82 GT I've ever seen! I've downloaded all of your pics to use as reference photos for my silver '82. GLWS!Originally Posted by noac
The owner of the red one was asking 10 or 11 on FB.
Red one has an after market sunroof

You are in the ballpark for sure...however I would wager that it didn't actually "sell" at Barrett Jackson. I think most of those transactions are bogus and they don't actually trade $$ for titles after the hammer was dropped. Evident by how most end up for sale on ebay right after, usually by friends of Collins. The only thing Dennis and Richard have done via Barrett Jackson that past two Januarys is artificially inflate the market. Look at how many nice Foxes are advertised on Ebay and Craigslist now at too-high prices, with reference to "Fox prices are escalating, just check out Barrett Jackson"
As for the red one...it definitely needs the leading "1" removed from the price. My car at 15k miles and 9/10 condition is more likely to bring $17k than this one with 61k miles and well worn out paint.

That silver car is real nice but that seems high to me. There is some nice low mile cars that pop up now and then for around 10 grand.
A bunch of 85gt's
It may be high to some, but if you want a turn-key 1982 GT that can be put in a museum, or cruised & shown....not sure you can find an equal condition example for less money. The detail work under the hood of that car is amazing!
With about half the miles of it, I'm pulling the engine out of mine this winter so I replace all the gaskets and refresh the engine bay to look like this one!

The beautiful silver one is sold. Congrats noac!
Only the red one is still listed.
The red one is relisted on ebay. It is not a very nice car. Original maybe, but not very nice. Did you see the rust on the drivers door? Maybe a 8k car.
86 Mustang GT T Top 2A 20k miles
95 Toyota FZJ80 Landcruiser triple locked expedition rig
87 Saleen sold
84 GT350 #1808 Sold
86 GT Sold brother has it.
I'm contemplating listing my COMPLETELY rust free, one owner, New Mexico, original paint survivor, '82 GT on eBay next Spring if I move on to an LX notch. Even with a lot more miles, it's nicer than the red one. No way would I ask as much as they are for it, though.

I went to Street side classics and looked at the red 82. The paint on the car is not presentable at all. It does have rust on the drivers door and the interior has fading. I also noticed that the heater core is by passed as well.
What would you think is a fair price for the red one is, now that you've seen it up close? 8 or 9K?

Probably closer to 8K
IIRC, before consigning it to a dealer, the owner was asking about $10,500 on FB.
The listing for the black one has ended. Anyone know if it sold?
I'm gonna assume it did not...just like it probably didn't technically sell at Barret Jackson for the $20k+ it hammered for

What do you mean, by "technically"?I'm gonna assume it did not...just like it probably didn't technically sell at Barret Jackson for the $20k+ it hammered for
I bought the black one and it did sell previously at BJ
What did you pay?
Congrats!
82 gt
22k. We were close to doing a trade plus cash for my plum crazy roadrunner but it did not work out
When I graduated from college I bought an 82 gt I always loved the look. And it was black with tops. I’m done with cars so this is my final purchase. The 157 hp may take some getting used to. I will swap out the seats though. Ty
