HEY GUYS,,,I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION...I AM APPARENTELY GOING TO BE GETTING A 82 PACE CAR NEXT WEEK..IK TAKING IT AS PARTIAL TRADE ON SOME RESTORATION WORK ON A GUYS MUSTANG....ITS A 33,000 MILE CAR THAT HAS BEEN GARAGED FOREVER AND RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT. ALL ORIGINAL PAINT AND DECALS. VERY NICE INTERIOR ..ITS A CROSS FIRE INJECTION CAR WITH T-TOPS, 4 WHEEL DISCS, AND ALL PAPERWORK (BUILD SHEET, WINDOW STICKER ETC..) STILL HAS ORIGINAL EXHAUST AND GOOD YEAR TIRES...LONG STORY SHORT I OWN WAYYYY TO MANY CARS AND IM PRETTY SURE IM GOING TO SELL IT....WHAT IS A REAL WORLD BALL PARK ASKING PRICE I SHOULD EXPECT????I KNOW THE BOOK ON THEM HAS GONE UP TO AROUND $12,500 BUT IS THIS REALISTIC???I HAVENT FOLLOWED THEM AT ALL...I CANT IMAGINE PAYING THAT MUCH MYSELF!!!ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED...THANKS JACK

 

your cap lock is stuck...FYI

maybe around 5000 $

 

Considering it's originality and documentation, I'm going to go out on a limb and say $8-10K if it's in near mint condition.

I don't understand how it has the original tires have 33K miles on them though. I'm guessing he did the right thing and removed them new and stored them?

 

I AGREE ON THE PRICE,,,BUT THE NADA DOES LIST THEM NOW IN PERFECT SHAPE FOR $13,000 WITH THE CROSS FIRE ENGINE....I GASPED WHEN I READ IT TOO,,LOL,,I WAS MAYBE THINKING THAT IF I COULD GET $7 TO 8 K I WOULD BE HAPPY.....OH YES AS FOR THE TIRES THEY SURVIVED BY HIS RELIGEOUS ROTATING AND GRANDMA DRIVING,,LOL,,HES A BIT OF A STIFF....THEY ARE PRETTY THIN ON TREAD AND SOME DRY CRACKING,,LOL,,BUT I THINK TO A COLLECTOR ITS MAYBE WORTH MORE WITH THEM,,I THINK ILL LET TEH BUYER REPLACE THEM, OR NOT,,THAT GIVES ME A GOOD IDEA,,I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WASNT THE ONY ONE WHO THOUGHT THE BOOK PRICE WAS A BIT HIGH....THANKS JACK

 

any pics

 

Book price is not low. My dad just recently got his 82 appraised and was quoted $15k. He has the LG4, with 4 speed and pretty well optioned out. If I remember correctly, his car has around 25k miles on it. The 82 Pace Car is still carrying a decent price for a low mile car.

 

Since Its a CFI 4 disc Brake car I would say it woud fetch a little more than that. Only about 1500 of those cars were made for the US.

 

i tyhought the 4 wheel discs where probably a rarity with the pace cars...and alot of them seem to be carburated so the cross fire is a plus as far as collectability...as for pics ill have to wait till it gets here i guess..its in transport from tennessee now..should get it wednesday i guess..ill post some them..thanks for the info guys jack

 

If you got the Vin Number I can see if it was Reported in the the books.

 

Production numbers rule the most, not sure if they go up in value because there were fewer made with this and this but not that.... you know what I mean. When it comes to the options themselves, then it can make it more desireable.

Like a CFI 4 speed standard 4 wheel disk is worth more because it's a better configuration, not because of the numbers made... otherwise any car with the auto dimming rear view mirror would be worth a ton!

I think I made sence there... I know what I mean, but I can't put it into words lol

I think ANY mint pace car is worth a lot, and will keep going up!

 

You won't find a CFI with 4 speed manual. Auto only.

 

You know what I mean

I'll make one and sell it on ebay as a SPECIAL SUPER ULTRA RARE DEALER OPTION car. One made, for the dealer, because his daughter was a friend of the owner's son.

Once again, you know what I mean

 

i'd love to see some pics when you get it... this is one of my favorite thirdgens

 

finally got the car here tonight.....and its ever bit as nice as described....doors are very tight ,,windows dont rattle,,,under hood is very clean....id say an excellent condition car...i tried to post a few pics,,but it wouldnt let me ,,anyone have any ideas why???the car is nice but will be for sale...i can definately say that this car looks,,and is a 32,000 mile car...oh and 1 question,,was teh 140mph speedometer with the z28 emblem in the cluster standard for all pace cars??? thanks and if somone can shed some light on the picture deal ill post some here,,jack

 

The 140 speedo was not standard on the Pace Cars however, I am finding alot of them with it. It was an over the counter purchase. The real Pace Cars had a 140 speedo, so I think alot of replica owners replaced the 85 with the 140. My dad's has it also.

 

i have been trying to atach a few pics of teh pace car ,,but it says teh file is too big,,,anyone know how to resize the pics so they will fit,,thanks jack

 

Go to www.photobucket.com, upload the pics, and link them to here using the [img] tag one.

 

still cant figure out how to post some pics on here,,but i did get lucky and find teh pace cars build sheet under the passenger seat.....car has a ton of options....anyone know how to find out which numbered pace car this is???ive seen them advertised with the number car they where just wondered if this was bogus or if their was a way to tell??thanks jack

 

Whats the Vin & I can find out if it was ever Reg in the offical pace car book.
