Got a offer on the Mustang...

[Streetking]

I have a guy overseas that really wants my Mustang. He just called me and made me a 6 figure offer.. I really am torn if I should sell it or not. I love the car, never drive it but it looks good in the garage next to the Camaro. If I sold it, I would just go get something else I'm sure but it wouldn't be something I built..

What do you guys think?

I say you should keep it. :yes: Thats a killer car.

[Payton King]

I have not seen many Mustangs bringing that kind of cash, but not many are as nice as yours. Remind me, is that a real Mach 1?

I really like the set of matching 69's. If you are going to turn around and replace it with another 69 fast back...not sure I would sell.

[wiedemab]

Man - that's a tough call. The money doesn't sound too bad though?????? I really like that car. I'd say if the money isn't an issue, I'd keep it. Let us know what you decide.

[Vegas69]

I think you have to much money... and to many nice cars. :D Only you can make that call.

[jy211]

I'd sell and build something else...but that's me. He doesn't happen to be from nigeria does he? :lol:

[Buick Motorsports]

Not quite feeling your pain!!! ;)

[Steve1968LS2]

1. You don't need the money

2. You would just have to build something else

So, unless the offer is for way more than it's worth then I would keep it.

By the way, what is your flooring material? I'm getting ready to redo my garage.

My car misses your garage.. lol

[Stuart Adams]

Sell it. Make sure it's REAL money.

[Streetking]

Sell it. Make sure it's REAL money.

Oh it's real money, I know the guy..

Steve, it's scored & stained concrete. I have the same in both garages but I'm having the other "everyday" garage redone with more of a textured finish. I can't tell you how many times I have hit the abs brakes when I pull in with wet tires!:D

Thanks for the input guys, I think if he REALLY wants it, he will come back with another offer then we will see..for now I told him no.

That is my favorite Mustang, but a six-figure offer is also very tempting. I guess I'm not very sentimental about cars, I'm always looking to move them and start the next project up. But, I'm sure we can both agree that the price is always higher when we don't "need" to sell a car. In fact, all of my current cars are always for sale at any time. The prices are just absurd until I get bored of them though. haha

Make some time to drive the car. :thumbsup:

[96z28ss]

If you have more than the 6 fiqures in the car then keep it.
if your putting money in your pocket then sell it and build another.

[Smittys67]

Hold out for more money since the exchange rates are so good for them he is getting it cheap. I have seen a ton of cars leaving the country latley.

A six figure offer is only good if it's MORE than the cost to duplicate the car. That's assuming SW would replace it which he said he would.

I was offered "six figures" for my car, but turned it down since, if I built another one, I would have to put in hundreds and hundreds of hours. Selling a car a your "break even" point isn't a good financial plan if your just going to go build another one. lol

People ask me if my car is for sale and I always reply "Everything is always for sale" ;)

[awr68]

keep it! besides you would have to move too many cars to get it out of there! :lol:

BTW, love those pics!! :cheers:

[brownz]

I know that i dont know you but it doesnt look like you need the money just keep it. the worst feeling ''i wish i would not have sold that car'' and it does look great with the other cars :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[surreyboy]

unsolicited offers are always the best since you have all the control.i would sell all my cars for the right price, except one ,unless i got an insane offer .

[Alex396ss]

If you don´t need the money, keep it!

:cheers:

[monza]

It's a nice car. Me in your situation, I'd sell it and buy II Much!

Edit: Nice Garage x5 Is the stained concrete impervious to spills and such?

(what was I thinking... In your situation keep it and buy II Much:willy: )

[NOVA]

Wow nice Mustang and fleet!

[XcYZ]

It's an amazing car, one of my all time favorites. I'd LOVE to own a duplicate of it. :bow:

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

depends on which figures are in the 6 figures..

if you sold it.. it would be THIS guy in europe waiting to drive it..

thats funny... love his U brake move.

[itsals1]

I'd say you should keep it,thats such a awesome 69' Mustang. Besides your 69' Camaro would be :( soo lonely without it. Good luck what ever you decide. Travis

[parsonsj]

jp, paint it red or black and you just might tempt SW!! ;)

[Vegas69]

Thats what I was thinking:D

[Rybar]

I'd keep it SW, especially if you dont need the $$$. :yes: That is by far one of the nicest Mustangs I have laid eyes on. :hail: Maybe if you drove it more you wouldn't think of selling it. But man like I said I just love that thing and I am not a Mustang guy at all. :thumbsup:

[70 chevelle]

You have great taste in color.

[slownova]

sure you never been to nebraska SW? im sure somehow your my father and id like my back childsupport sent to my paypal account or send me one of your cars thanks, your child you just met.

I don't know, do you have a nice tan?:D

Thanks for the comments guys, I think I'm going to keep it. I just can't part with it yet.

amazing, i do. :yes:

[buickfunnycar.com]

SW

Good call SW...I've got a buddy just stuck on both the '69 Boss 302 & the Z/28 so he owns both.
Not a Ford fan by any stretch of the imagination but that is the best year for the Mustang....and yours is world-class.:hail:

[Ummgawa]

Great Call. Not every car is sweet enough to be a magazine car. And I have not seen a Mustang as sweet as yours other than the 69 Mustang Convertible a member built here with the fastback quarters. Black too, Super sweet SW...good move.

[awr68]

SW, where can we see pics of the car...its been a long time since I've really seen any...and most of those were during paint stage.

[Streetking]

My car misses your garage.. lol

Steve, please send Penny back to me, I miss it in my garage too.:D

Ok, here's what I have decided to do. I'm going to build a hot 427ci motor for it and have some fun with it.

Anthony, I will send you a link more pictures, btw say hello to your pretty wife for me.


Thanks again guys for the support,

SW

[awr68]

SW

Thanks and will do!! :cheers:

[chicane]

Personally... I wouldnt sell it, but that is just me.

Besides, if he's got the monies... maybe he should pay you to have a car done for him.:unibrow:

[Smack_talker]

Sw..build a stroker 454 Ford....427 with a 428 crank. A friend had one built by John Vermeesch in Michigan. It was a strong motor and sounded killer.

[porkchop]

I say keep it. That pic of all your cars is my 17 year old sons motavion to keep doing his best in school. What ever it takes!

[will69camaro]

Don't sell the 69 Camaro either! I saw it posted in your "for sale" on your online photo album!

Nice cars...All of them!

Look forward to seeing you at TWS again sometime. I will hopefully be driving the next event you're at. I'm about to graduate so my corner working days at the racetrack are almost over.

I'm not, that's a different car..

thanks,

SW

[will69camaro]

Ok glad it's not the one next to the stang. Both look amazing however!

Hope to see more of your collection someday other than the track miata and the track Z06!

William

[GBodyGMachine]

I think you have to much money... and to many nice cars. :D Only you can make that call.

x2........

[sixtnine]

I think you should make a video of a nasty burnout in the Mustang and post it here.:cheers:

[69dreamer]

SIXTNINE, where can I find pictures of your Camaro? Thanks

[CRCRFT78]

I say NO. It obviously doesn't look like your hurting for cash and it would be a shame to leave the Camaro lonely for a short period of time. BTW, what lifts do you use in your garage?

[romar 02 ss]

SW I say sell it. It seems your more of a "drive and wrench" kind of guy than a "polish and stare" kind. If your not done with than keep it but if you don't drive it than sell and fill that lift with something you will drive...Or send it to me for safe keeping.That way you'll have the room to buy something else.(I'm just here to help:unibrow: ) Larry

[andrewmp6]

Id keep it the 65-70 mustang fastbacks are going up in value fast your lucky to find one under 10 grand and your lucky to find a drive able one under 30k.One hundred grand is nothing for a early mustang now a Shelby or a drag package or a twister mach1 break that mark easy.Id hang on it to and call it my 401k.

[trapin]

Besides, if he's got the monies... maybe he should pay you to have a car done for him.:unibrow:
In all seriousness, a very good point. Those cars aren't hard to find and there's plenty of capable shops out there, you don't have to wait around for DS&E or Foose. Scott didn't. He found a shop right there in Minnesota that did a tremendous job. Lots of great shops out there; Prodigy, G-Force, Schwartz...the list goes on and on.

[oorange67]

Nice car If I had six figures I'd make an offer to.

[CORNER BLITZ]

you're my hero :faint:

[6D9]

I would keep it for sure.....by far the baddest Mustang I have seen. Man...I should have paid attetion in school more......:hail:

[bret]

Depends on the number that is in front of all the zeros. I don't know the car [and I thought I knew ALL the cool 69's!] but I can see 50k in paint, and 8k in wheels and tires. A decent core car is 20k, engine from 10-30k, 3-6k for brakes, 5-20k for interior...but you already know all this. The rest of those cars and that garage din't suddenly drop from the sky...
We have built cars similar...its a 150k gig for a driver...more if you want real horsepower or unique goodies.
If hotrods were purely a financial matter, none would have ever been built. Passion is a much better motivator than money anyway!

Me...I'd turn it because I would have a whole list of stuff I'd do different on the next one. Tough decision...good luck!

I know what you are saying, but I really don't have time to build another one now. I am working on my Supra build, getting ready for the standing mile in Oct.. For now, I'm keeping it.

thanks for all the opinions guys,

i say dont do it..

You absolutly nailed that one this is how we look in europe :unibrow: . And another thing I dont see what exchange rate has to with not selling the car, in Norway were I live I have to pay 25% tax on the things i import so dont come and say it's cheap. As I see it if the price is what you would be happy with, sell it it's as simple as that. If you ask me I would never sell it :thumbsup:
