THIS.

I had a 94 Mustang with over 50K of mods done to the car. It had a hand built full race 20K motor without the supercharger. (A4 block, Ported TFS heads, Custom intake, Billet rods, custom pistons, TI valves, Shaft mount rockers, on and on.) I sold the car in '97 for 20K plus a '92 Supercharged GT which I sold for a stock '93 Cobra (which I added $$ to buy). I figured the total trade and I got less than 30K on a car I had 70K invested in.

Switch to last week. Traded my 2010 2SS/RS with MBRP 3' exhuast and Rotofab intake. Car had 18K miles on it. I got slightly better than blue book but it was a battle to get it.

The reason I sold my car was to buy a ZL1. I had been thinking of modding my car as it was past the 3/36 warranty. But I would have a car that cost me what my ZL1 did with no warranty and the value of a 2010 SS.

Moral of the story is for resale.... Buy the car that meets your performance wants "AS IS". Modding is fun and great but never consider modded cars to have much more value than stock.

If you are going to buy a modded car. Get the history of the mods. Who did the work is as important as the spec's. But only buy if it is a screaming deal.
