Default Conflict within.

So I had this 95 camaro z28 with a lt1 for a while now. It has 25k original miles with a 6 speed and leather interior. The only thing I changed on the car was the rims and put on a spoiler kit as seen in picture. I kept all the original rims equipment and the car is all stock. It has couple minor issues like the rubber exhaust hanger bushings are worn in the rear and the paint has a few chips. It has a new abs headliner and a new dash pad since they always crack in these cars. I also installed a new sony cd player with a usb adapter but kept the original ac delco bose unit if someone should return it to stock condition. Not sure why but…
My conflict is that my first car was a 71 mustang fastback and as years pass I’m more drawn into buying back a piece of my youth. So here I am wanting to sell my ride or trade for a 71-73 fastback. Any takers or offers?

Keep the car and save for the mustang.

You WILL regret selling a clean 25k mile Camaro, they are not easy to come by.

You should put this on Yellowbullet. But I guarantee you no one on this forum will have the Mustang you're looking for, neither is ANY LT1 car worth a 71-73 Mustang. You'd be lucky to get $4000-$5000 and all of the decent 71-73 Mustangs I see are going for $20k+.

Good luck in your search though.

A restored 71-73 mustang mach 1 will fetch 20k+ but I should of been more clear. As long as there is no overwhelming rust on the stang I would consider it and since I'm looking for it to modify later it can be a plane jane fastback, I would hate to cut up a mach 1. I would take a straight 6 fastback.

I know someone who is selling a 71 spring sport mustang with a worked 429 big block, and 4 speed, mach 1 hood and a nice paint job, i was told the owner would take 7k for it but the fact its got that concave rear window sets the value back. Hope it all works out for you man!!

Wow, my 99 has 33K miles and I thought that as low. If you are not enjoying the car anymore, than sure, list her for sale. My fear though is that you won't get what the car is really worth.

Thanks for the input, but I'm looking for a fastback and prefer a straight 6 model since my intentions is to Pro Tour it.

She is a rare breed and I feel guilty driving, guess it adds to not wanting to keep it. I would enjoy a car more without the side order of guilt. Its garage kept and never seen the track, my wife calls it "precious"...LOL.
