A local guy got his hardtop vert cobra totaled a few months ago. I think he got like 12.5 from the ins. co. and then bought it back with getting it fixed for like 5-6k.
It was bone stock with 100k+ miles and just repainted a few weeks before it happend.
A buddies brother had a 94 gt 5spd that was fairly ratted out with fadded red paint, primer showing threw, rusty exh. tips, broken drivers seat, ripped seats, stained seats and well over 175k. It was totaled in this winter and he got 5 or 6k.
I would say an avg. mile clean 5spd GT would go for 5k easy. Depends on the market and timing...gas prices this time of year (memorial weekend) are going to be a killer. The spring time before the gas hike is the best bet, but prob. also half ass good until the 4th of July...but the dead of summer is going to be hard IMHO.
