The car has 254,000 highway miles on it. It is 99.9% original. Never been in an accident. No dents or scratches on the body or paint. Car runs excellent.Interior is very good, with only one small wear spot on the driver's seat.

Don't be offended as I am only trying to give you my .02.

It is a CHP car which in the SSP world is very common.
It has 250k plus miles.
It needs a complete restoration including paint, mechanicals, and interior because with 254K miles I assure you the interior is faded and the drivetrain is tired.

To properly restore the car a person will have upwards of 15k plus the purchase price. For the next 25 years the car will never be worth what a person would have in it if they did it right. If adding the correct CHP equipment and decals you are looking at another 2k minimum.

If I was looking to just drive the car....5k tops. It is a fox mustang coupe. There are millions of them.

If you get 7k for the car you have hit a grand slam homerun.

FYI-the original poster sold the car and it is now headed to Australia. The new owner is a former highway patrolman and noted Mustang restorer there so the car is in good, albeit faraway hands. Nope, I don't know the selling price.

good deal. Hopefully the new owner will give it a good home. It will be pretty rare "over there" for sure. lol
