Hi, i have a question about a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, in mint condition (at least, that's what the owner says). He's offering the car for sale, and i'm interested in buying one. But i really don't know what a car like that is worth? Or maybe you'd know a website where i can find this kind of info?
Thanks in advance

If its in mint condition, most could not affort it. Recent Barret Jackson auction prices were through the roof. Google that and NADA classic prices, also recently discussed here.

i just did a search, for a piece of junk but still running, its 77grand, for mint condition , like absolutly pristine, its 142,200, good luck trying to scrap up that much dough

haha if you're asking how much a GT500 is worth, you probably shouldn't even consider buying it if you don'tknow its real value.

I got a 68GT500 fs. Needs total resto. $40,000. Car is complete with 22500 original miles and rebuilt motor. If I have the time I'd do the resto myself. These cars sell between $90,000 - $115,000.

Told you so...[8D]:([:o]

:DHAHA!! You guys are so nice!

Yea, maybe he's independently wealthy!

U must be loaed if u can afford a gt500.lol[sm=yikesomg.gif]

Not meaning to be insulting; but why do you want such an exotic, high-dollar car if you don't know anything about it? A Shelby is the type of automobile that one longs for and reads about for years, in the hope that one day he may be lucky enough to own one. By the time you're ready to buy, you know every nuance (including current market values). You sound as if you just stumbled upon one and thought "what the heck..."

Try this website www.saac.com
This is the Shelby American Automobile Club.
I would say STARTING prices are in the 40-50 thousand $ range to about 150-200 thousand $.

But, you know guys, even if they are exotic, they are still just old cars. I don't know why anybody would buy a car they can't drive. Seems idiotic to me. ;)

I think in part because collecting those trophies is addicting! Mine was a show car only for about 4 years (immediately following it's restoration). But sweating bullets because the #4 valve cover bolt has the wrong date code got real old, real fast. It's so much more rewarding to get a thumbs-up at a red light than a win at a show. I still show - but in driven classes. And what I enjoy the most is the visiting during the show - not the rewards after.

I can see owning a genuine, low-mileage, high-dollar Mustang and not wanting to splash through mud puddles. But even then, I would want to drive it more than I should. I've proven to myself that I'm a one-car guy. I want to work on it and reap the immediate rewards of driving it!:) I see the value in rare cars not being driven; but only so long as they're on display for all to enjoy. The waste is keeping one covered up in a dark garage, just waiting for it to appreciate enough to turn a profit...

Yeah, I can see your point about it turning a profit, but so can other means such as investing in a mutual fund turn a profit. If I can't drive it, I won't own it. I won't own a car for someone else's pleasure. I drive my old '65 every summer for about 3 or 4 thousand miles. And, I drive the holy crap out of my Mach.
