should I fix it or sell it?

new plan, sell the v6 and buy a Shelby LOL

This actually isn't a bad plan. Keep the GT for the build platform since doing a build with a V6 would involve a V8 swap anyways and just sell that and get the Shelby. Win win!

I think the V6 has more sentimental value.

I still think build the 05 GT. if you spend $30K to $45k on a Shelby, you'll still be dealing with depreciation (again). Unless you're looking for a 2007-2009 and find a steal well below $30K. I'd imagine a GT500 that's 10-15 years old would settle in around $20K-$25K in value (looking into the future).

Yes!

Or better yet, sell both the 3v and the sixxer, and get a nicer/newer gt500, and just have one car to upkeep/maintain.

That idea has merit!

Bingo. Lots of memories made and lessons learned in that car... both good and bad!

Yes!

I've thought about this too. I know it's only a little sixxer but I hate to send my first car down the road if I don't have to. I'd like to do the father-son project and hand it down someday.

A friend brought this up to me today... could a Mineral Gray 05 GT be considered "collectible" someday? First year of the retro style, and only year of that color. He says yes, I tend to think there were too many produced to become rare.

Thanks guys for your all your input, I'm really appreciating it! Makes me stop and think for sure.

I love my paid off car. But is it paid off when you turn the car payment every month into mod payments?
Lol

Yes it is, because if you miss a mod payment nobody comes to take your car away from you
