Really clean, low mileage 87-93 5.0's are getting pretty close to returning their purchase price on the retail market. They've accumulated value in the past 5 years. I remember when I could get a really nice and clean 89GT for about 4k, back in 1996 or so. Now the same car would run me 7-8k.

Good to hear that, since I paid $13,600. for mine.

Unfortunately, my 'Stang is an average-condition LX (no garage for 12 years - northeast location) with 115,000 miles on it (under 10k per year average but still, six-digit mileage on the all-original engine/trans).

However, the LX 5.0's really are popular and I know a couple of folks who've been lusting after mine for years so I'm sure I'll get a good price for it whenever I finally decide to sell.

It fun driving a popular, high performance car that's appreciating instead of depreciating - and to own the title.
