There goes the A body Market

I have an 86 Fox body convertible, and I'm waiting for someone to make me an offer, but the last time someone approached me was 10 years ago, and it was Lowball so I said "its not for sale..." any more I just keep driving it its fun. Actually I think its too fast for a ragtop and I always envision myself losing it and being ejected from behind the wheel, I know guys who had hatchbacks who were ejected when the car rolled...

I have a 03 Mustang Cobra with 80k on odometer. There is a run on them too. This is the first year of the supercharged SVT 4.6l V-8 "Terminator" like your Fox body. Fun car.

Against my near stock '69 GTX 440. It pulls in 1/4 mi to beat the Plymouth by about a full second. (GTX manual 4-speed vs Cobra's manual 6-speed.) At a 70 MPH punch? It jumps out to a small lead. But 440 does real it in at over 100 MPH. Both are very simular 3600+ lbs. Both about 400 HP. (The 440 cube advantage does eventually beat the smaller Supercharged engine.)

I'm likely selling Cobra while market is hot for this car.
