i have no clue what your GP is worth.. but sounds fair to me

bottom line is which would YOU rather have ?? i guarantee you'll like the stang more

is it an anniversary mustang ? does it say "gt350" on it

if yes... your getting a steal, if not... check production numbers for t-tops in '84

t-top cars are good cars to buy

For a fun project, I think a Fox would be much better than a Grand Prix. Plus, you're getting some cash for tires and fuel!
