Default should I keep my 5.0

I have an 87 gt concertible. It has 180,000 miles on it. The mods are, flowmasters, maf, king cobra clutch, and chrome ponys. It also sounds like it has a cam but im not sure. The top works fine but the right quarter window doesnt work. The interior is in fair condition and the clutch is going bad. Since its tax season I think it will sell fast and i would but a hatchback GT instead of the vert. What do you guys think I should do? Should i sell it or keep putting money into it?

It compairs on serveral thing's the vert is heavier but another thing is how much can you get a hatchback for? Cause taxes are coming and your GT has already got mod's but it compairs do you like the car you drive now? Or do you want somthing else?

If i was you i would sell the vert and get a hatchback GT it doesnt matter if its bone stock it will run as fast or even faster than your vert right now,i dont like vert's thats just my opinion i love my hatchback GT and plus it look's alot better than a vert so i would go for the hatchback.

I love the looks of the verts, but I did what you are thinking of doing except I'm keeping my vert for now. I went and drove a completely bone stock hatchback, and compared to my vert, it's quicker stock than my vert is lightly modded. I would look for something with low mileage that's in good shape and start over.
