I tried finding 1987 turbo cars for sale in fair condition just to see about what they sell for but haven't found any, This is to be able to set a fair price for someone getting a friends and family discount. Runs and drives but wouldn't take it on a long trip. Need tires, interior, paint and some tuning. Straight body with a little rust in doors, 120k miles, not in
garage last 11 years. I turned down 4k last year.

thanks, Ed

I have both these in the same condition as stated.
I always say if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.an im not taking deposits prices.

pix on said unit could help with a number. runs n drives , no serious rust , straight body work, all there will probably get it to five figures for the "right" buyer.

odd options, color combo, someone knowing the car when they were young and dreaming about it will all affect the buyers motivation to part with his stack for the "right" vehicle.

if they wanted it to move they should have taken the $4k and memories and moved on. dealing with the Craigslist/Facebook lookie lous gets old in a hurry and time is money.

I have an 86 TType that is garaged and one of 1921. I wanted an 86 and went out and bought a project. can't say I'll ever drive it under it's own power but the dream is alive.

Good news as these are going up in value so what you might think is a parts car can be worth way now if you can get it looking better and running. With limited numbers in a classic car market that's only going to get hotter (electric cars and as population increases with wealth) you're sitting on $$.

Texas T, Spoolfool has those rear end pieces to help and Highway Stars that trunk lid. Bam all good for probably $3-4k painted and installed.

Its a roller, gonna take a bit more than that. I do have piece to fix the floor rust. Probably will be DD speed shop style. But I'm doing a limited ahead of it. Also a big reassemble project.

Ah, nothing a bag of cash, good labor and a lot of time can't fix. Hahaha
 
no doubt and I need a hobby. really not about the money to me. I bought the white one to part and take the quarter for my og we4. then this limited came up. so I bought it too. then another roller surfaced. it was pretty much just a shell and frame. so I cut it up and used the frame to have a rolling chassis to go get the limited. it just spirals out of control. wife not exactly pleased but she might get over it but who knows.
