Good deal or not?

i`m not a fan of converts .. and who is mClaren ?

 

Yeah what is this mclaren stuff?

A rare conversion. Started in 84, went to 90. In 88, there were 1015 of these made. The cars were prepared specially by Ford then sent to ASC (Automotive Specialty Corporation) for the rest of the conversion. Hoss, all Fox body convertibles were conversions.

Interesting that y'all have not heard of them. Makes it pretty darn rare, I guess.

 

go for it ..

 

I'm liking it. Would you value it the same as your cars put together?

 

I don't know Ralph. The '85 'vert you have is the last year for the carb cars which in itself is going to make it pretty collectible

 

thanks, Hoss.

That is what I started looking at when I posted. I am thinking that ASC in the shape it is in would go for ~$6K. I'm thinking my two cars are worth a lot more, so I am not seeing it as a good deal for me. I saw the car, thought that it was very cool, yet it is not turning out to be the value that I first thought.

Skip, my 85 vert is not original, ya know. Yet, I love driving it (had the wife and the middle daughter in it yesterday) and have thoughts on how to make it better. Pretty sure that will kill off the collectibility value of it.

 

That is a pretty badass car but it will be up to you in the end.. If you don't need two cars go for it and put the time into only that one

 

How could you then be the legitimate moderator of the carbedMustang mailing list?

 

I have heard of them and considered getting one way back when but they were relatively expensive then. If it were me I'd hold onto the car. It's distinctive, rare, and can't possibly go down in value from here.

 

While having something special always trumps having something common, I'm not excited about McLarens. They were mostly cosmetic upgrades, so you're not going to see the same collectability as you will with a Saleen or a Cobra. If you could find a fox body Saleen or Cobra, I'd see the wisdom in the trade a little easier.

You need to build a truly vintage car. Find a fastback to put your efforts into.

 

According to the website ASC = American Sunroof Company

 

Yeah, duh. Not sure where I got that from. Was in a search and found it. *shrugs* Oops.

I've decided to pass it up. I have too much fun driving the 84 and then being able to cruise in the 85. Two different cars.

 

Ralph, I think I'd skip it.............if it was a low mile McLaren Capri...........that would be different.

 

Thanks. I let it by. I did some research and found that I would be really shafting myself. The car may increase in value, but they weren't very desirable. It's just an appearance package plus a set of springs - nothing performance-wise that helps it out.
