Still have the '83
The buyer for my '83 GT had emotional problems-really! She never intended on buying the car I guess it was some sort of fantasy relating to her late husband!
So as of now I still have the car. If you know anyone that wants one, keep on eye on Ebay over the next two weeks.
I need a daily driver!

I just came across this forum and thread and decided to register to add to the thread.
83gtragtop, nads83, your mustangs have a triplet sister. I also have a triple black 83 convertible GT.
It looks just like 83gtragtop's. Though I'm not sure if it's optioned the same. I've had mine in storage since around 94'.
I know there were 107 Triple Black's built of the 1001. I know of 4 now, mine, your two, and one other. I'm sure there are a few more triple-black cars around, somewhere...
Production started May 11 and ended August 31.
nads83, you mentioned yours was built in June, I know mine was built in May, it's #190 of the 1001.
It would be interesting to know more about your two cars. Dates, options, etc..

My car was built in June. It has 75,000 miles on it. My grandfather was the original owner of the car and he later sold it to my father who then gave it to me. My car has some mild modifications, full exhaust, wheels(still have the metrics), some engine bolt-ons and springs/shocks and Cobra brakes. I have the originals of everything still stuffed away in the garage.
83ragtop, tripleblack 83!
Sold my car this week- woman from Kentucky is plannning on picking up on Sunday!
Here are more details on the car: Premium sound with Amp pulls, cloth seats (suposedly only 77 with black exterior, cloth black interior), A/C, 5 speed, born June 29th (yellow date stamps still on trunk and hood), Z code rear (3.08), TRX package (wheels in boxes).
What did I do!!! I really, really want a 2011 5.0L, so the first step was to move the '83 (for the garage space and the downpayment). Problem is, I really don't have the rest of the cash to buy the new one, and the wife doesn't see the need!
Wish me luck. When I get the new owner's full info, I'll pass it on the you guys!

What price did you settle on before she backed out if you don't mind me asking? PM me maybe? Just like to get a ballpark value on my car, though I never intend to sell it.
Good luck on the new 5.0!!!
