Bob,

Location has nothing to do with it, however, your current pricing structure vs the current economy does. With such an influx in the economy, there are not many people with 50K + to throw away on a "toy"....Now, with this said, you also have to look at the competition in your current marketplace. See the following urls for details on this:

In particular the following urls, and any other Contemporary, Superformance, or ERA listed....

Asking prices that are to high (even though you know that your willing to come down quite a bit) will keep people away, as they are to scared to even consider making an offer.......Finally, what you have invested vs what you can actually get out of the car are two different things.........Look at the above mentioned urls, think real hard on how your car compares to the rest of them (be objective), and go from there....................Do wish you the best in the sale of your car.........



Yours in Buying and Selling old Fords,

Bill S.


PS: As for putting it on Ebay, build a very detailed web page beforehand, the better the details and the pictures, the better chance you have of ever selling the car...........
