CrazyList, like Newspaper ads before it, is silly more often than not.
But you should definitely market it on more than one city.
The fact that it hasn't sold or generated alot of interest on this board is sort of a subtle message that it is slightly high.
But I hadn't seen your ad bump in a while either.
The diehards on this board who are TR hoarders tend to try to buy low.
The newbies are usually looking for Lamp Black 19.
I think your car looks nice. Always like a sharp T with chrome.
It's unique, without being too unique. And has grey interior vs blue which I think is a plus.
Is that paint color factory? And what year - 86 or 87?
I think you probably started to sell it back before the winter, but at the tail end of the season.
Hot Rods are like houses - springtime is the time to list them.
Not many people east of the Rockies do much car buying in the winter time. The shitty weather has really depressed just about everything outdoor related this year.
But much as I hate to say it - the great equalizer in sales is the price.
Everything can sell at the right price.
And there are a couple of really nice examples of "black cars"; i.e. GN's in that $13K range
I look at a lot of cars for sale.
$13,500 might be just a smidge on the high side. (Not that I don't think they are worth $13,500 - I just don't ever pay that)
To me - for a nice T-type, with 116K miles- I say...mmmm..kind of between $9K and high $11's
$9K gets my immediate attention, and when we get over say..$10,500-$11,0000.....I start to become more sticky.
It's sucks for sure, since you can barely buy a decent running KIA for $9-11K.
But it is sort of still a toy.
I think your engine bay is nice as well, so I'd say in spring, start at $11,950, $12,500, 12,750 and negotiate a wee bit.
I think your car is ready to roll, Yes? - and that means alot.
If you have time, just keep marketing it. Marketing is the key.
If you don't, then drop your price. That works too.
And as much as I like your wheels, I just might try a set of N89 Alum Vectors to see what is what.
It certainly won't hurt the look of the car by any stretch.
The vents are fine. Yeah, an eyeroll from a few, but they're fine.
With regular fenders, T badging, and N89 wheels though, it would stand out as a really nice example of a rather well preserved T.
And sleeper in your color.
Point of reference:
There is that other fellow with 62K @ $15,500 and he's been waiting a while as well.

Mostly the TR diehards are looking for T's. Well preserved T's. That's kind of a smallish group.
