What's it worth? Late 80's convertible Mustang

Post by blackagatha »

I have a lady that owes me about $700 for a bunch of work I did cleaning up her property, as demanded by a court order. Little did I know, there was gonna be big drama getting paid for it....

A potential solution I intend to explore is with the Mustang in the yard. She wants/needs it gone.... She thought she was rid of it when her nephew took it, but he returned it when he moved to Nebraska.

Is this thing likely to be worth $700 or more? lol

The body appears to be in fair shape, but I think the drivers window and rear rubber window are out.

Assuming this thing runs even halfway decent, and has a clean title, what would be expected of it????

And what if the motor is dead, etc?


Thanks guys.

That is My era of Mustangs.
Get me some more information, like Dan says VIN (door tag would be even better), and some pics?
And where in Nebraska? I may be able to look at it in person too.
Doesn't sound to far off but need to know more to be sure.
What you gonna want for it?
:mrgreen: Lol.
Seriously - be glad to help if I can.

Whoops, I somehow got the Mustang was in Ne.
Same deal - show me what you can............

BTW, a good clean, running, EFI 5.0 Foxstang (LX or GT) is worth 4-6K +.

I'll have to look into. it.

My guess says its probably bad or they would be driving or fixing it, but really hard telling. They might just be dumb.

I'll find out as much as I can if I have to try to go that route to collect on this S#!tty job....

ugh it was a friggin mess. There hadnt been any cleanup in 15 years or more, and the city was demanding she clean it up or they were threatening jail time.... Wish I took pics...

It took me 2 weeks averaging 4-6 hours a day to get it looking halfway decent. I woulda never done more than 1 day at a time without getting paid if it werent for the crappy court case. It wound up being over 1200 all told, the balance was almost 1000 when I got it acceptable and cut off till I got paid.

I've been harassing them regularly and got another 100 today.... balance is down to $490...... still nuts.
