Actually I was quite suprised at what the NADA value was on my car. A few years ago it was holding at right around $4700 for an LX Notchback??? I figured why would the LXs hold value. The GT wasn't worth more than a couple hundred bucks more. Well recently I checked it out and it's darn near $9K!!! I was like WHAAAAT???!!! Now I understand that the NADA book value isn't the be-all-end-all of what cars are worth but hey there's indicators out there showing that a demand for these modern day classiscs exist. Notchbacks are almost as desirable as 1993 Cobras for crying out loud. Everyone wants a 5.0 coupe. The 4-eye mustangs specifically the 85-86s are showing promise of be desirable. A stock 1989 Mustang GT 5 speed white with scarlet red interior, 1000 original miles - never titled went for $20,500 at West Palm Beach Barrett Jackson! I was there and talked to the seller. He's a fox Mustang collector. It may take a while but there's still a lot of demand for the 5.0s and a lot of people "get it" when the 5.0 Mustangs are mentioned as the "55 chevy of today."
On another note, My Canton oil pan should be here tomorrow or wednesday and I bought some more paint to finish it up. Now we just have to finish up the carb and the motor is done and ready to go in.
