Here's a 79 5 speed in Kansas with cup rims and an almost complete tool kit...

91 GT in Buffalo
I too had some ethical dilemmas but suspected it was in rough shape. I figured once I saw it if it was phenomenal barn find I would give him some more cash.
To answer a previous question. Yes, seller pulled out of his commitment with me when his wife and daughters saw a bidding war start via email that night and the next morning. He wouldn't pick a firm number and I just wasn't going to get involved with blind bidding.
Later in the day when he told me about the mileage I was really bummed, but not so much now after reading ThetaTau87's report.
Theta, thanks so much for sharing that great, thorough, and fair evaluation.
I probably contributed to his over inflated valuation because I realized how little he knew about the car and I suggested he should slow down and spend a little money with a mechanic to consider getting it running and obtaining a better evaluation which might yield him relatively big money. I have two in college and I know what kind of money that can be.
No, I wouldn't think anyone that knows these cars would want to pay upwards of $10K + , but you never know.

Remember the vandalized GTS sitting in the barn in South Dakota ... what's it really worth? Who knows?
I'm dying to know if the "interested buyer who told him that he'll give at least $10k for it as it sits and will outbid any other offer" actually goes through with it, or sees the car and walks away.
Maybe it really was only worth $2,000?

My educated guess is $4500 to $6500. Yes, you will be upside down to make this right but that is the norm with a car such as this. Love the color combo!!

With the whole pic taken into account, +/- $2-3k means little when there will be at least $20-30k invested into this car in order to make it more than "just nice". It's nothing more than "rounding error" as the prophet Greg Brown would say.
However, always hated sellers accepting an offer, then back out of it without even maybe giving another offer, like Padhammer's case. If he's running it like an auction, then start as an auction on eBay or BaT as some has suggested.
I am sure alot of us here have plenty of play money to bring this car back to pristine condition, but not many would want to once their rational side of the brain comes into play.
Would love to know what happens to this car.

So much hub bub over the GT. Even though everyone is salivating, realistically this car has a very small market, the owner would have to do all the work to not get financially killed (and they still might) This is not some simple / analog CIS 928, this is early 90s digital / control unit hell. There's an argument to be made for it to become a parts car, tried to buy a GT-specific part lately?
If the car was free and came with $5000 in the glove box, but the buyer had to pay professionals for all of the work, said buyer should have saved himself money heartache time and divorce lawyers and bought a pristine GT.

^^^That's the problem with people filling the poor seller's head with dreams of rigging it big with this "gem", when he could've easily sold it for double his asking price at $3-5k. It's one thing to be "nice" and "educate" him, but now the poor fellow likely won't be selling this car anytime soon due to his holding out for that $10k cash in hand.
Does anyone here actually think that $10k is waiting for him to collect? Does anyone here think a Rennlister will ever offer something better than $4500?
Too bad...

Proof that there are still reasonable prices out there: '82 with 15" phones, no rub strips, (I think) no sunroof, Rogerbox: $4,200: https://newyork.craigslist.org/stn/cto/6170777150.html

And representing the other side of the cost/value equation: A $400 sunroof crank: https://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/pts/6171814111.html
Is a sunroof crank really 10% of the value of a moderately rough but running 928? Really..?

'82 5-speed on BaT. Black Metallic over Brown. Looks like another quick flip.
