Dilemma, what’s this thing really worth?
So I traded a beautiful stroker (347, as I’ve been told) 85 in December for this silver bullet, and I’ve come to realize this was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made...
Anyway, my goal is to get back into a foxbody (hopefully, a notchback) after selling this thing. I just need some advice on a fair price. I don’t hate this car, so I don’t want to give it away either. This is it...2004 AE edition 86k, 5 spd, V3@8psi, upgraded fuel injectors, pump, and rail, newer offset AM wheels & Nitto tires, SLP longtubes & catless h-pipe/fatback exhaust, brand new Spec clutch (pilot & throwout bearings), MGW short-throw shifter, SCT tuner, 3:73 rear, upgraded brakes, new tensioner & belt, BBK TB & plenum, etc.

I think it's a little late for the dilemma equation....
I did not like the other NON mustang look body styles, and neither
did my uncle, a lifetime Mustang owner since the 60s. He never EVER
bought one of them, nor a II.
One of the reasons was you could get the Capri, Zephyr, Marquis, which
were the same car. Mustangs always has their own look, in my opinion,
till the Fox Body. Mustang II? Yuck.... Wasn't till 1994 that it got my
attention once more, and my Uncle's.
The 3rd Gens still have a following though.

Driving the 85 was exciting, and it really felt like a “toy.” Plus I really enjoyed all of the attention that I got driving it too. The newest one (the 2004) feels like I’m driving a modern daily driver, I guess it’s just not as exciting. I also had a 2003 GT that I sold in 2016 so it feels like I bought the same car all over again. Someone offered to buy it for $9000.00 the other day.

Go drive any 2005 or newer Mustang, then you can come back and tell us how refined and un-Mustang like the '04 you have is.
I suppose it's all subjective, but the SN95 platform (which is just a Fox on steroids) feels every bit as much a Mustang as my '67 does. Except it brakes and turns slightly better. Only slightly though lol.
