Just sent them an online inquiry to kick it off, and will engage by phone later today.

Gone are the days of Auto Trader and parking a car in the Jewel parking lot with an orange "For Sale" sign in the windshield. I miss both!

Willing to listen to any reasonable offers before it goes to the consignment dealer.

After an abysmal experience with a consignment dealer, I will have the car back this week. Willing to listen to any reasonable offers to avoid storing it until spring. Worst I could say is no.

Bump for lowered price. BaT has offered me a re-list, which is where it will go mid-January if not sold.

Committed to BaT. There is a very, very low reserve on it just because there seem to be some auctions that simply fail to launch lately, but my intent is to let it go for whatever the high bid is.

Looks like a great Mustang. I’m surprised at the comments that are allowed on BAT. Why would they allow them to trash a prior selling dealer on your sale comments and why would they be compelled to do that in the first place?

I've developed a thick skin, after 5+ years on there. The commentary can be a major positive, but if unchecked, can be a major negative. There are almost always a few inane/pointless comments. I thought about flagging the irrelevant comment about the other 5.0, but I decided to defuse it instead. It appears that worked, because the poster's next reply was favorable. It was obvious the car he bought was rough. Anyone buying a LX convertible with weld-in subframe connectors isn't likely to be happy.

This is a great 5.0, and I will miss it. I did a terrible job of marketing it initially, being in the midst of a move and several other issues at the time I decided to sell it. In all these months, not one person has even come to see it. I am certain if someone had, it would have sold immediately.

I really hope it will go to a real car guy who continues to preserve and improve it. This is a keeper 5.0. Yes, it's a miled-up car, but it's also a rust-free no-hit car with great history in amazing colors. At 35 years old, these are all coming up on needed some level of restoration / freshening unless they have been intenionally preserved in amber. This one checks all the boxes for a long-term relationship.

If my 63 Corvette was sold, I would actually just keep this and play with it another summer.

Sold to a great buyer on BaT. Best of all, it's staying local.
