Well guys, I'm thinking that the mustang is gonna have to go. I never understood why people would sell their pride and joy, but Bills have helped me realize that. I can't afford this and my truck. I have some left over bills from a previous car (Credit cards are only your friend for so long). Anyway between that and the cost of the diesel swap I can't afford two toys. So I will have to wait and see how these next few days go, but if I do have to get rid of it how much do you guys think I could get? It's a 94 gt with about 120 thousand on it. Its got a mac cold air, or upr something like that cold air intake, catless h pipe, american thuinder cat back, sts, megabite jr rlcas, tokico blue shocks and struts (all but brand new) h&r supersports. It's got a fairly new clutch and output shaft as well. I have 3.55's with a brandnew yukon master rebuild kit that would come with it, or I can get hold of a rear with 4.10s for pretty cheap if it would make the value of the car that much better. The paint isn't in the best shape, but overall its a pretty solid car. How much do you think I would be able to get? This sucks, but if it will get me outa debt then I have to do what I need to... being an adult sucks :rolleyes:

Throw some pics up. I have seen these cars go anywhere from 1500-7500. The 95 GT DFG Vert i had paid 7200 for it. 42,000 miles on it

But maybe you NEED it so I won't go there.

I'm guessing under $4k. These cars aren't worth too much and mods don't do crap for value. Sell the gears seperately and do not screw around with swapping rears. It won't give you anything.

If the car is paid for and isn't costing you anything to keep it, don't sell it. You WILL end up regretting it somewhere down the road.

DEFINITELY not...
Paint faded to hell, interior completely just disgusting. But ran like a champ at 120k. I overhauled the entire car in less than a year..

I can see where he would want to keep the truck being from PA this time of year. I haven't driven my car since November (other than 1 or 2 hours). If you do sell it, you can buy a better base when you get your finances straight, probably for not a whole lot more.

I'll get some pics up, wow thats crazy for a stock stang. I would love to keep it but, I'm 18. Having two cars isn't as practical as I was hoping it was gonna be. I do kinda need the truck, but it's not an absolute must. I just hate knowing I cant go anywhere. Plus the diesel swap is kind of expensive. With my old bills it's hard to afford the diesel swap, and the mustang. It's paid off, but nothing is ever really paid off with things breaking, not to mention the gas is killing me. I don't know why but it's only gettin 10-11 mpg. I figure I'm gonna finish the cummins swap, pay the rest of the old car off, then buy a roller stang, and build it when it'll be a little easier, plus then I'll have a truck to tow it with haha.

You're 18... I turn 18 in a few months too. Keep the thing, you're young once so enjoy it. Yes I could sell my car too but why? It's paid for, and trust me, these 5 litres can take a beating without breaking, in 3 years I have only had to replace a tranny seal,starter, and MAF on it. We're too young to be worrying about money that much.
