80's 5.0 vert mustang price

One of my freinds is going to go and look at an 80's vert mustang, and he wants to know what a good price would be.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Year? 5.0L or 4banger? standard or auto? rusty or clean? modded or stock? i'd say between $50-$10000  :D

looks like some chick that he is freinds with a while ago drives it. She know nothing about it, but it has 5.0 stamps and its probably newer then 86. It is definately the 87 to 93 body style

In good shape up here a 1989 Mustang 5.0 with 100+K on the clock still fetches like 3-4000.  I looked at an 87 LX 5.0 with an auto last year. Car had 130K, was rust free and had very good paint and was bone stock.  The seller wanted 5000 bones for it.  It was a nice car but NOT worth that much.  Driving it also made me realize just how much faster I had made my Demon with the mods I've done.  If this car pulled next to my Demon at a light the Demon would just walk on it.  There was no way I was spending that much loot on a car that I would have to add another 75 horsepower to by way of time, effort and yet more loot to be content with it.
