Putting Feelers out

[InUrHead]

I've been having a lot of trouble with my 5.0, and I don't have a place to work on it. It's a 1990 5spd Black GT hatch. As it stands, it's mostly stock (ford racing X303 with dual coil valve springs and new retainers are the only upgrades). I'm just putting it out there to see how much I can expect to get for it, and see what kind of interest it draws. Body is in great shape, never been in an accident, and theres very little rust on it (small bit at the antenna, small bit at the hatch glass seal, and a little around the gas cap door. The car ran fine until the cam, and then start stuttering on me, I suspect it needed tuned, but I didn't jump on that and get it done as I should have. Shortly after the break in miles on the cam, roughly 505 miles, the car died while running and won't restart. I've replaced the ignition system, the fuel pump is running with the key in ON, it DOES have gas in it, and there was plenty of juice in teh battery. The interior is in great shape as well, no rips in any fabric, or the headliner, the carpet could use a shampoo, but that I can do anytime. The seats still work perfectly (adjustable side bolsters, sliders, and power lumbar all perfect working order). I installed a JVC head unit with MP3 playback, a JL audio 500/1 monoblock pushing 3 12" Sony Xplod subs (don't knock em, they pound HARD) in a custom enclosure built around the shock towers in the hatch, and an MTX road thunder 280w pushing the sony xplod 5.5"s in the doors, and Infinity 6x9's in the back seat. Door speaker panels were "modified" to fit these speakers (aka, could prolly be replaced). Limo tint on all the windows. Car is also equipped with an alarm/immobilizer, very loud, and it won't start while enabled. The car got oil changes religously with full synthetic for as long as I've owned it, and seldom did I put less than 89 in it at the pump.

If anyone could give me suggestions on what I should be able to get out of this car it would be appreciated. I don't have anywhere to continue work on it, and I'm wanting to buy a mustang with a warrantee on it for the first time. If pictures are needed let me know, I can get some tomorrow and post them. I love this car, but I have to let it go. Thanks if you made it this far into my rambling.

If anyone wants, they can email me at [email protected] (old email address, no longer in the UK). Thanks again.
