damn dude you're selling the car already? didn't you just finish it not too long ago? anyway $9500 does sound like reasonable price considering what you have done to it.

I paid about that for my 98 GT convertible. It was mostly stock and super clean in and out. Everything worked, it has the Mach460 sound system and leather. Based on what I have seen in the jeep world. I highly modified car will not bring as much as a nice stocker. People look on mods as taking away from the value. That's why both my wifes TJ and my 'vert will be hightly modded, then run into the ground. I don't expect much resale value from either.

That all being said, being a mustang nut I would by a 5.4L coupe for 9500 in a heart beat had I not just gotten my car. There is really alot of potential there for a very fast car.

Just an FYI, not trying to say anything bad about you or your car, which is pretty cool!

If I were shopping, and came acroos your car I would look very close, then probably move right on by. My biggest concern would be, this is no small undertaking. No one drops a 5.4 in a Stang over the weekend for he hell of it. It took time and planning. Someone had to really want this car this way... So, why is he selling it so soon?

But still nice car, and good luck...

9500 probably isn't too much but your gonna have to find the right buyer for that car a lot of people don't want a car that has been modifed to that point.

Alot of enthusiats in here would get excited, but in reality mods mostly hurt resale value. Most people look at mods as =racing=dogged out but I would try autotrader, I had good luck with them on my last car, alot of deadbeat callers with BS offers though.

Honestly.... i dont see you getting more than 7k for it. 135k on the body; the interior looks as you would expect from a 96. You dont get really any money for mods. Plus those rims... i know they are painted but they just look terrible, no offense. The center caps dont even match the color. Along with the hood not matching.

Book value.

If you had gotten a strong tranny & rear, you might be able to get a couple bucks over book, but unless you want to sit on it for 3 years and hope someone buys it having no clue what it's worth, you won't get anything over book.

the wheels and hood kill it!
Also another reason i wouldnt consider buying it is b.c of the swap... if you did a swap.. how come... raced it too much, beat on it all the time. just things like that will prevent a decent bidder for concidering it... but mainly the hood and wheels...
Anyway, good luck with the sale!

I personally would not buy a built up motor by someone I didn't know, but good luck.
