Not For Sale - Not a Cl***ified Ad Owner's Comments / Article Text: CHRIS'S COMMENTS $74.1k is a lot of money for a fairly ordinary-looking muscle Ford, but it's a tough car to value with so few in existence. Cars like this trade on historical importance and personal nostalgia, rather than intrinsic value. Depending on the seller's objective, $74k is pretty good, but he might just re-run it on eBay a few times to see if there are any more rabid takers. ~~~ It ain't pretty, but it's very rare, it's very clean and it's very fast.
