Question Need help finding value-'89 WS-6

I have a '89 WS-6, 350 Formula, T-tops, TPI motor, 90,000 miles, decent shape, some sunburns in 2-3 spots. Kelly seems too low for a special edition car like this, or is it not as rare as every always said it is. Any help from experience would sure help, thanks. I don't want to sell, but I have 12 vehicles & wife is bitching. I love this car.

its nothing too special but any 3rd gen in nice shape these days are harder to find and they will fetch a premium especially with the 350 tpi L98 over a higher mileage car or project car

by the way the ws6 suspension was standard on all formulas and not an option like on 4th gen birds

Yea, that's just a standard Formula with a 350. The low miles and 350 are the only really selling point. As apposed to it having a 305 that is. Then again, they get negated from the "sun spots".

My 91 was really decked out, and I looked up its numbers and it was fairly rare. Before getting into RPO codes, it was 1:2500. Factoring in some of the more common RPOs, it got down to 1:1000ish. But it was also more "rare" because it had the nose that was only made for 2 years

You also didn't say what KBB said. I'd price it around $2500, or if it was in better shape (not sure what your sunspots are), $3K. Problem with getting into the $3K range is then you're stepping into LT1 territory. I got mine for $3,800.

I agree with the above post. $3000 minimum unless it is in poor shape. No need to take less.

Thanks guys, actually that's good, now I can tell her it's not worth selling. If I could sell some of these damn pick ups I'm sure she'll quit bitching all the time.

have her help you sell some of those pickups so she realizes the runaround of selling a vehicle so it will set up the future in your favor
