1968 Have you ever been offered another Mustang as a trade for your GT/CS

[classicsguy]

I was wondering if you take your car to shows or cruise ins and people may offer you their current Mustang as a trade for your GT/CS; have this ever happened to you?

Being the GT/CS a very rare car and many people not familiar with the car may fall in love at first sight with the car and offer their Mustang or other Ford for your car.

Lets see the offers that you had for your GT/CS!

Well I did offer my '08 GT/CS for someone's '68 GT/CS but he refused. Does this count?

...Can't recall any serious offers, but I get alot of family wagons & sedans thrown at me... Jokingly, of course ;-)

I had some guy offer to trade antiques for a Ferrari I was selling. I passed.

 

[J.Bart]

i haven't had anyone make an offer, probably because they know i'm not selling mine.
but i have 2 or 3 people that always tell me if i'm going tosell it, to make sure i call them.

 

[PFSlim]

No. But you would be amazed at what other trade offers I have had.

Hmm... Probably not worth considering unless his name was Marty and could give a report...

Paul - Go ahead and amaze us! What offers?
;-)

 

[PFSlim]

Oh, I should keep some to myself. However, I have been offered pick-up trucks, small rental house and a pontoon boat. Typically, when someone says, "Would you consider a trade?", I say "no" so we really don't get far into the discussion. Sometimes I say yes just to hear what the offer would be. Still waiting for the offer about the wife!! (ha ha)

[Midnight Special]

Well if you were single, you'd likely be getting proposals in exchange for driving rights. Just make sure that any wives offered as trade come with proper documentation (not sure what that is, but any knowledge is power;-)
OH... and photos!!!

I'd offer you my ex but she's high mileage, low maintenance and I like you to much. :wink:

...I'd even offer you my wife, but the problem is you'll need three times the storage space for HER hobby!.... She's a quilter in need of a detached closet!!

Not a trade, but ....

Earlier this summer, we were down at one of the car washes preparing for a "cruise night" at a local mall. We'd washed our GT/CS and were doing a chamois job on it in the parking lot and had a gent walk over and ask us about the car. He asked just exactly what it was and a little bit about the history of the GT/CS model. When I told him about the scarcity of the "S" code 390 model with the four speed, he then asked if we would sell it to him. We said no of course, but he said "that's too bad, I'd have given you $50,000.00 for it". Sounded serious too, as he said he works offshore in the "oil patch" for six months of the year, makes some very huge "coin" doing it and then takes it easy for the rest of the year.
Mind you with the current exchange rate from Canadian to American dollars that's only about $39,750.00 US .... ;-)
Anyway, it's NOT for sale at any price! ..... and no trades considered either!
