question about price
i have a 289 and 3 spd transmission I am looking to sell. I have no idea what to ask for it> It would be nice to get some opinions on what kind of price i should ask for it. It runs great and is currently in my mustang. Thanks.

RE: question about price
well, it depends on the condition of the body, paint, and interior. If it's in good shape, i say around 5000-7000.
It's basically what someones willing to pay for a car. I bought a excellant condition 1966 289 auto, with the original 50,000 miles on it for $2000.
I hope this helps any, remember, If someone has alot of money and wants a old mustang, they'll pay some money to get one.

You could scroll down a few posts and get your answer, but here is that thread. https://mustangforums.com/m_457576/tm.htm The 289 is an extremely good engine. The good thing about it, is that you can heat it up with aftermarket parts that will make it a very strong runner. It's a small block engine that revs quickly. Or, you can just leave it as it came from the factory, and have a strong car that you will enjoy driving.

RE: question about price
It is a C code engine. I am selling the transmission with the engine mainly to get rid of it. The engine runs strong, never had any trouble with the mechanical side of it as long as I have owned it (3 years). A bad starter and alternator but nothing to do with the engine. Anyways, the engine and transmission is locally listed. I didn't put a price in the ad and one man already called me about it. I wasn't home but I need to know what I should be asking for this engine. Maybe I should have found out its value before trying to sell it. LOL. Thanks for your help.
