I am the second owner of a 1984 (and a half I think?) 5.0 convertible. The VIN tells me that it is a GLX edition. I had intended on keeping and restoring her; then Mother Nature decided my money would be better spent on two real babies instead of this one. Last night a guy saw the car in the driveway and asked me if I wanted to sell her. I think that might be a better thing to do than let her sit in the driveway and fade away. Problem is that I have absoluelty no idea what price range I should be in. She runs ok when the battery is charged, but needs new paint and a new interior. I'd say she's in maybe fair shape depending on how the planets align. Can anyone give me any tips as to what price range I should be in? It would be so very much appreciated!

84 1/2? is that an anniversary edition? the gt350 white with red stripes and canyon red interior?

After the little bit of info I have been able to find out (can you tell I'm a total rookie?) I wish! No, it's red with a red interior. When I bought it back in the late 80's they told me it was an 84 1/2 and some sort of change had been made from the original 84. Does that make sense?

This year I bought a 83 GLX convertible with a 302. It is an ealy build car with a 4 speed. I paid $1650 for it form a used car dealer. The top motor spins, but doesnt go down. Everything else works including the air. I wanted a convertible and found this. It is an Arkansas car with no rust. If I were you I would keep it, but I have this thing for cars. (I have 8 now). The verts will go up in value IMO. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

do you have any pictures of it? and the inside and does it have dash plaques or look like it did have them

NO dash plaques. Mine is an 83, red, white interior with a white top. Someone changes the original wheels for a set of GT wheels off an 87- up. I dont have any pics. It isnt in great shape, but runs and drives good. Had a cam installed in it (for a few more horses). Car has a little over 120,000 on it. Ill eventually get some pics. Thanks

Pictures would help.
Your car doesn't sound like it in the greatest condition.
You say it needs a new paint job and interior, how many miles (sounds like it has a lot)?
I would guess you might sell it for $1,500.00 to $2,500.00.

Sell it, in the future when the kids and done crapping themselves and can be a lil more independant buy another and get exactly what you want. I'd say the car's worth $2500, as long as the top is leak proof. Good Luck

Ok all. Thank you so very much for your help! I'm going to give the guy a call now.
