Default Is this 87 lx mustang worth $10K???



This is what the craigs list ad basically says.
1987 Ford mustang with everything imaginable. 351w, Wilwood racing 5 lug brakes, 410 rearend posi, 5 speed tremic, 2004 Cobra rims, SSP cluster guage, Cervini 3 inch fiberglass hood, MSD, 3 row Aluminum racing radiator, BBK Ceramic coated long tube headers with stainless exhaust, Sub frame connectors custom fab. AM FM Ford CD with factory amplifier, Perfect condition, Still has factory AC, Everything has been done that can be done. Over $25,000 to build.

The car is mint and beautiful but is it $10k worth???? He is about an hour and a half drive, I really would like a fox and this catches my eye i figured i would ask y'all your opinions. Also he seems like hes open to offers so we will see.

Tough call, on a modded car it's hard to tell. If the car was all original with super low miles then yes I'd say he could sell it for 10k easily.

For starters those are bullitts not cobra rims. I'm not a fan of buying already modded cars. You take the risk of way too many unknowns (unless you know him well)

I'd say yea it's worth it provided he has all receits and your mechanic gives the car his blessing. I'd want to know alot more about the engine. Is it a junk yard 351 with some pretty shiny bits or is it a built short block?

Depends on what you want. If you want a car built like that one, then it is worth it. To the common person, no it's not worth it. He claims $25K worth of stuff, and if all done correctly, and you want a car done like that, it's a bargain; but unless you know who built it, or have receipts to show who built it that has a reputation, it's hard to say if it will last or not. Personally I'd want it fuel injected...but it sure looks sharp!

Its worth is relative, but I'd pay $10k for a '93 Cobra before I'd drop it on a coupe.

I'd approach this car with moderate skepticism. "everything imaginable ... Everything has been done that can be done." These two comments seem like the seller is trying too hard. If he's exaggerating here, what else is he exaggerating about?
