Nice car. Looking at low mile cars I am starting to appreciate how Ford didn't give a F about gaps and lining things up during assembly during a whole series of their vehicles.

It is way sweet, but not 12K sweet....

12k really isn't out of line, but you would have to see it in person. 94k miles could be fine. Don Donelson bought Bob Jacob's one-owner 118k black 91 for large dollars. But, if you taped over the odometer, you would swear that the car was under 50k.

That guy on BAT got arm twisted into a No Reserve auction, and he's gonna get screwed. It does look like a 41
k car, but it isn't documented.

Go for that one, it could very well go for under 10k.

I know this car.
It is extremely nice.

Yep, I'd be surprised if bidding topped $6k, but you never know.

The owner is over in the SHO Facebook groups: Andrew JA.

$6500

Sounds like the seller could have set a reserve but went with the BAT suggestion

I believe that he was being diplomatic and kind to BAT.

I've heard more than one story that they are relentless about having you do a No Reserve, and won't accept some auctions unless you do.

Without the rust bubbles, this is a $10k-$12k car, with under 50k miles. Should be easy $9k-$10k.

There
were three 89s, with mileage between 48k-62k, that hit eBay in a short period of time 10-11 years ago. Sales prices and bids at $10k. I have some prints on the laptop.
