90-100k is my estimate BUT it depends on a number of factors:

1) Is it auto or manual? manuals generally go for more than autos
2) Is it matching numbers with original engine?
3) Is the history known?
4) What options did it originally come with?

So, I'm guessing you've found one and are looking at buying? got any more pics?

Have at look at this for a similar vehicle advertised at 105K on amcs:

69 makes it a windsor too, so that reduces its value some what....

dude, he said no rust and near perfect interior - which likely indicates a fairly easy restore. 35-50K was probably the mark about 1-2 years ago - XW GT's are selling consistently around the 90-130K mark and XW GT HO's are 200+ and way more...

from what you describe, great colour ,manual, no rust and tidy black trim
I would think 70k would be a good buy.
It could be worth up to 100K but the fact its a windsor drops its value a
little IMO.

Sub 100k and you have a good buy going on current prices.. If you buy it under 60k then it would be a good keeper. Pay any more then that and Id be selling it again after a quick tidy up for 115 - 130k.

Then its a car to keep. At that money your not over exposed if the GT market has a correction and you will always be in profit if you decide to sell.
You cant loose!

I would:
1) confirm it's not a rebody, and
2) check with the GT experts (historian) if it's 'ok' on their records

and if it all checks out BUY IT asap - and hopefully for the right reasons - to keep and enjoy, not to resell....
