I am thinking about trying to sell my car but I don't know how much to ask for it. It is a black 5 speed 95 GTS. Interior is in good shape. The out side needs a paint job because ford paint sucks and it is starting to oxidize. I don't really want to try and sell it on ebay because I think I will lose my money for advertising it. I have been looking on ebay and I can't remember the last time a mustang actually came close to the reserve the people had. I just want to know what the least I should take is. If someone wants to offer some money feel free to do so.

mods are
underdrive pulleys, mac cold air, Pro-M 75mm mass air, motorsport svo 65mm t-body, cobra intake, 3/8" phenolic spacer, 24# motorsport injectors, aeremotive pressure regulator, 190 lph fuel pump, afr 165 emissions legal heads, scorpion 1.6 rockers, b303 camshaft, mac 1 5/8 shorty header, mac x pip, mac catback exhaust, msd billet distributor, msd 6al ignition, pro 5.0 shifter, motorsport aluminum driveshaft, eaton traction locker, moser 31 spline axles, motorsport 3.73 gears

stereo
clarion dxz925 head unit, infinity 5x7 in doors, polk audio 5x7 in rear, 10 bazooka sub, 2 eclipse 75x2 watt amps on the 5x7, jble 200 watt amp on subwoofer

the reason I am selling is because I bought a lightning and I want to start moding it. Odometer quit working so I don't know how much mileage. I just want to know what other people have sold similar moded cars for.
 
No! Mine is 1 year older than yours and looks perfect!
Is your car black. I have a friend with a black 95 lighting and his paint is doind the same thing as mine. My buddy paints cars for a living and he said it is something defective in the factory primer.
 
well its kinda iffy...most will frown upon buying a car with those mods done to it as its a sure sign of a hard led life for a car....mileage is a real important factor in the price of a car....but dont expect to get ANYTHING even in the same ballpark as what you put into the car....

Well,based on your description, lack of knowledge of milege, the facts as stated by other posters about mods=hard life... also based on what I paid for my '95 not that long ago, a quick look in the paper, and just a bit of guessing... "IMHO" if you get $4750, you would be doing better than I would have guessed. (Kelly blue book shows a value of $3100 or so, private party)..

could I get more if I put the car back to stock and sold rest of the parts.

Without a doubt. You could sit on the car for 6 months waiting for someone to pay 6500+.

Return to stock. With all of the mods you have, that's the only way you will get near 6500 or so. You can sell the parts in corral/here/everywhere. It will take time, and somewhat of a big hassle, but it will be worth it.
