Sometimes we try to reach the wrong market. To explain myself. I use to sell parts at swap meets, Charlotte speedway in spring and fall, Charlotte fairgrounds, Maggie Valley etc.. I was talking with guy next to me and ask how I could sell more. He looked at what I had which usually to 3 or 4 spots to put out. He said my prices were too low to go up on price, lol. He said I was trying to sell to the wrong group of car guys. He said that higher prices brought in the guy with money would buy quicker and not be afraid of my low prices.
He was right I raised prices and I sold more, lol.
Most people are not going to have $9,000 or $10,000 to go out an buy a car needing $20,000 in work for a full restore.
I would not cut the price myself. Your car is a desirable color and model.
Just take to some shows this year and someone will walk up and want it. Charlotte in a few weeks is a great place for that. Especially the Mustang 55 show. Everyone there is a Mustang fan.
I get lots of attention at shows because so few 71 - 73 come out. I was only one in Charlotte last year and several wanted me to price the car. I did at one show he had one new and his wife crashed and totaled it. H came over wanted to sit in the car, start it and looked it over for an hour. I gave him price three times what I paid for it and he came back again and kept looking. I was afraid he was going to take it, lol. Only driver I have right now.
