Default Without A Picture - Value This Car

I just want you to value my cousin's car based on description alone

It's a (November I think) 1965 Mustang GT Fastback with matching numbers. It has been repainted and the interior isn't original color. It runs absolutely great - literally ready to run the track. It has the 4 speed manual transmission, and the exterior is amazing. It is a gorgeous car.

There are no imperfections in it on the outside or inside. It is an "A Code" car (not sure what that means...)

He told me the book value is between 27K and 50K

I just want to know what would YOU pay for it based on that description?

I told him to email me pictures that I can put up - but I have seen the car in person

An A code GT fastback with is in good condition is worth a solid 20K in this economy. After that, the condition you describe could double that.

Mine is a C code, which is the lower compression V8. "A" codes had a higher compression V8, 4 bbl carb, disc brakes and some other stuff. They are the ones that are worth money.

Sweet! If I find a buyer I get 10% commission

Think I could find a buyer on here?

Boy is that a subjective statement and open to interpretation.

I agree with the low 20k for the car as described, but on the high end, unless it's perfect I'd top out at 30k. Anything above that, in today's economy, is wishful thinking IMHO.
