$5000 for a shell?
 

WTF is going on?
I was just reading in the WTB some guy wants to sell his shell of stang for 5 g's, an 87 hatch at that..

Umm.. for another $4000 i would have let my 93 with built motor, full suspension, and more with 71K on it go.. no rain and no snow even...LOL (ok, i say that.. but really)

Either im ripping myself off or this market is retarded :twak:

There was a great write up by the editor in Modified Mustangs about how the prices of stangs are OUTRAGEOUS, i agree.

Well, there’s a sucker born everyday i guess.

With the cost of fixing up a stang you get for 4000 or so (unless you can find one in great shape for that price), it's really not such a bad idea to pay a premium for a nice stang.

I went the other way and got one for 2 grand, needless to say I ended up changing out just about the entire drivetrain... new trans goes in in a few days and I kind of wish I had spent that money on an already mint stang. Ah well.

'Lil bit of a, and a 'lil bit of b. But, the prices of FOX Mustangs are outrageous. Soon, they'll be fetching more money than all 94-04's (GT's, obviously). , if I coulda had your car for $4k I would have jumped on it.

Just nutz!!!!!!!!!!

When I have more time I will post some pics.

everyone is nuts.

well I'll be damned, I could have gotten a 1989 5.0 for 50$, it was a 5 speed and no rust, with 200k on it...........now im driving a 1990 thunderbird.

We all make mistakes :twak:

Pics of the bird?

t birds are ok it's a fatter stang.lol i'll be getting an 88 soon i think.

I paid $1000 for my 87 GT T-top shell
it was a BC car, so there is only one hole........$200 to fix

yea Thunderbirds are good cars just remeber to keep a spare set of head gaskets if you have a 3.8 lol and its the only car that you can brag to your frinds about getting all the power of a 4 cylinder and the fuel ecomony of a V8 lol.

See now that is a great deal. There was a guy in here selling a clean looking LX hatch, less than 5K, and it looked mint. He sold it before the weekend (a shame) but i mean, 5K for a shell :dunno:

Stangs are FAR too overpriced at the moment

i got my 88 t bird for free..... she will be getting an HO 5L 5 speed over the winter.
