I am selling my GT auto to help finance purchase of Shelby and do not have a clue as to its worth. What do you think is a fair price?
It has all options but shaker 1000, Steeda springs. BMR LCAs, 4:10 rear, sequential tail lights, embroidered head rest (PONY), smoke covers for head and running lights, tinted windows, JLT pipe with Lidio tune. Red floor mats never used and it only has 2200 miles. HELP !! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

are you guaranteed a shelby? have a signed purchase order cause you dont want to take the chance of selling the GT and having a dealer screw you over

I doubt you will get anything over the listed value of the car. You will probally make more money if you part it out.

It's hard to find a buyer with a modded car. I would take everyhting off and sell the parts. I think you would do better that way and your appeal will broaden also. People think that since you have added performance parts it has been driven hard. just my 2 cents.

Yes no I have not. There is a frame for me to sell it after Shelby is ordered.

May have to do that but it would cost a few $$ to change the 4:10 out.

I come from the mod crazy Jeep world, and when I sold my Wrangler I parted it out. You can usually get a ton more money that way. If you sell it as is. I would expect to get back less than 1/2 the amount you paid for the mod. And that wouldn't include labor. Good luck selling and getting the Shelby.

If you didn't want to part it out, you might want to consider getting the word out to your local Mustang club (if there is any). The members would appreciate the work you had done to it.
