How much is my 1989 Formula 350 Convert Worth.??

I own a 89 Formula 350 Convertible, it has ws6 suspension, 5.7 TPI, original ws6 wheels in great shape, Original color is Flame Red Metallic, i Had It Professionally repainted earlier this year the same stock color, all brand new decals, i ALso replaced the Top with a Tan Canvas Top the car looks awesome, pretty much looks brand new...it has brand new carpet because the original carpet was a little worn, but i got the original color to replace it...the seats were fine..........

the car has 115K miles and it runs great!!...

i know this is a Rare one....

What should i expect to get out of it when i sell it..???
its hard to determine because i cant ever find any for sell to compare to...ive seen the regular 305 V8 converts sell for 6-8K, so what should i ask.???

P.s Ive confirmed my car is a real formual 350, and it was converted by ASC
8th digit in VIN is a 8

DONT HAVE ANY PICS YET BUT I WILL SHOW EVERYONE SOON AFTER I TAKE THE PICS...

You should give it more than 2 hours. This is the convertible forum, and isn't the most active forum on TGO.

Not a lot of people reading this at midnight either!

Seriously, I think $8500 is a good 'asking' price. Especially if it looks as good as you say. Be ready for a lot of moaning and groaning when you do, as third gen buyers are known for being, shall we say, 'frugal'.

Are you looking for money, or do you have something in mind that you want to trade for?

You have a 1 of the 42 Formula 350 Convertibles made EVER!

THere were an additional 16 Formula LB9's made in 1989 as well

I would think 8K is fair.

Could you shoot me some pix over to me???

okfoz @ usol..com <remove extra period and the spaces.

I guess if it helps I could supply you with the list of cars converted by ASC in 1989 your cars vin is listed as one of the 330 Vins.
