J-code GT Convertible

[GT/CS S Code]

C'mon Arlie!

C'mon Arlie! Just buy it ... you KNOW you deserve it!
:wink:
(... currently just under $20,000 and hasn't made reserve yet ...)

This is a sweet car. J code, numbers matching, GT, deluxe interior.

Last bid was $19,900. Maybe that is the current market!!?? If this car is a nice as it sounds, I was thinking it would be a good buy below $25,000.

Sale didn't make reserve?

Nope.
It ended up at $19,933.
I'm pretty sure he won't sell it for less than $25K.

 

[franklinair]

Too bad. Nice car, but the market's not there at this time.

Mosesatm,

What was he asking for it when you looked at it? Total production for 1968 GT conv. was only 1986 so it a rare pony that is nicely optioned.

We never got to that point because I found a GT/CS and lost interest in the convertible. From what I know of Paul and knowing how much work he put into the car $25K is my best guess, but he may want something closer to $30K.

Danny, any idea how many of the 1986 GT ragtops were J-codes? Can't be many, my guess is that 1500 or more were S and R codes.

We know there were only 36 R-code conv.; but I've never seen any numbers of 390 vs. 302. Marti doesn't break the numbers down that way and I've never paid for the special request of that stat. I would assume the majority were J-codes. Of course then we would want to know how many were of each transmission combination!

There was a J-code GT conv. at Carlisle All Ford Nationals last month; I think the seller was asking $32K for it. A nice car; but needed some cosmetic attention.
