mfield2a Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'm trying to assess what the "fair market value" is for a '08 GT/SC is at today for a friend of mine who is kicking around the idea of selling. The car has right around 3k miles, package installed by Tasca with a 550 black whipple, registered with Shebly. Car has ambient lighting, HiD's and Shaker 1000. It's a 5sp car. I see GT verts pulling in $27k - $29k. But it has been sometime since one has sold. I guess the fair question is how much % value is the SC package brining?

Elgin Black Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I guy in our Mustang club bought a 08 SGT vert last year for $30,000 as I recall. It is not a SC. It also was low miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I don't think I've seen a convertible as you are describing on the market, so it's going to be difficult to assess comparable values. I'll take a guess and stab at $35-38K. I think it's "worth" a heck of a lot more than that, but the market is "dumb" when it comes to these cars right now. Gosh, you can barely get into a new fully loaded V6 Mustang and then consider NEW car taxes and other fees.... seems like a no-brainer to jump at a car like this (or any other used late model Shelby).

Rev Dennis Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I got $29k for my Vista blue vert with 12K miles on it about 1 month ago. I am thinking high 30's at least with a real Shelby SC package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicShelby Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I would start out asking $40K and go as low as $38K The car retailed for $48K when new and the SC upgrade would have been $10 to 12K depending upon when it was installed. Your looking at 60K for the car and it only has 3,000 miles on it. It pretty much is a new car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 38K for my BJ SGT/SC and that was 3.5 years ago and they haven't gone up. Right now I'd guess closer to 30K for a Shelby GT/SC conversion (not just a whipple from a speed shop). I agree that the market is dumb about the Shelby GT. They are more dumb about the GT/SC package. This is a mod, and you do mods to enjoy them, not to add value to the car, so a regular 2008 Mustang with a whipple on it gets pennies on the dollar for the SC upgrade. The market will also only give the Shelby installed package what a standard Mustang SC gets, which as I said isn't much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin Black Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 $30,000 for a 2008 Shelby GT/SC? Seems way low to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 $30,000 for a 2008 Shelby GT/SC? Seems way low to me. I thought 38K was way too low 3.5 years ago, especially after what I had in it. But something is worth only what someone else is willing to pay.

drzeeba Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 http://www.cars-on-line.com/67201.html This one sold (not SC) http://www.cars-on-line.com/72660.html This one has been out there for awhile. I wish him all the luck in the world at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobraj007 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I saw that 2008 GT/SC convert on cars-on line last year at Carlisle...its stunning with detail and extras galore. Signed by the big guy! Wish I mine all the extras....add$$$ up quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Grey Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Sad, but there is a 08 Convertible with automatic and Whipple (not registered GTSC) 2 owner 18700 miles on Ebay now with no reserve. The car is only up to $26,100 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 That 08 on Ebay looks clean. One very important note is that the Whipple is the basic - NON INTER-COOLED version. I think that's a BIG deal - also the automatic will likely eliminate several from the market right from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I think it depends Highly on how fast you want to sell it, I would ask $36-38K and expect $34-36K, for a fast sale $30-32K IMO. I thought about selling and for that amount I just could not do it. I took the car for a ride today, it was a blast. Might sell one day..... Good Luck!!!
