      Default 66 Mile '83 GL on BAT

      Not my car, not my auction. I feel like some of us may have to go defend this poor 4-eye at some point...

      Rough 66 miles.

      Stained paint, rubbed bumper stripe from an impact and ripped carpet. I do like the exterior colors...quite odd.

      Used as storage for its life:

      It didn't sell on BaT, but apparently this is what they really want for it. Does not mention if the three old guys come with the car or not.

      I'll take back my "storage comment" as I now see that it is foam to protect from door dings.

      Still hurts my mind that anyone even bid it up to the 18,800 it reached on BAT.

      No market for generic old guys. We're a dime a dozen.

      $38,000 Asking??!! That's just ridiculous and turns away anyone that might be interested. I think $18K was ridiculous, but I guess someone has $$ burning a hole in their pocket.

      My problem with low and ultra low mileage cars is what do you do with them? Let them sit in your garage and look at them? If you put miles on it you ruin its value. Doesn't seem like much fun to me. I agree with the above posts about the value. At the end of the day it is a relatively basic Mustang with a V6.

      When I saw the listing initially, I figured it would sell between $10-12k and that was all the money and then some...
