sad to see..
There's a 99 Vette with a Magnuson for sale that looks good, too.

I was gonna sell mine, but changed my mind after I found out what little I could get for it, and that my shift light has been coming on 500 RPM too early 
Be intresting to see what I left on the table, knowing that now.

That can be the case. In mine the car was paid off and I wanted to free up the cash. I already had a clean '86 GT at the time. The problem was I was too spoiled by the way the Formy handled/brakes and it made me not like driving the '86 GT either, so I sold that a few months ago....Our situation was/is a little different as well as we moved from NJ to NC and I wanted to have liquid reserves in case one of us had trouble finding a job etc....
I never had an issue with the practicality of my FBod. I thought it had a fair amount of useable storage space and I was pretty comfortable driving it....

I was at the same cross roads as well...
But now the car is in the garage, covered, paid off and for fun driving only. It's loud, obnoxious but it makes me smile.
At this point, I have no interest in ever selling it becaue I've owned it since it came off the carrier with 17 miles on it.
If I wasn't attatched to it, I'd probably get a 03-04 Z06, but I still love the looks of the T/As.
To each his own I guess.

I personally may NEVER sell my Z28, I love that car.

I might decide to get an "american" FWD forced-induction car for daily driver (I kinda like the Ion Redline) and then keep the Mustang for street/race duty..
I'm getting like JS.. I can't make my mind up.
