Common questions
How much does a Ford Mustang GT cost?
Over the past 12 months, 106 have sold publicly at a median of $22,750. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $27,000. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $10,275 to $36,750, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 1979 Ford Mustang GT worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $27,000, up 10.8% over the past 12 months. That sits above the $22,750 median of actual sales because the median counts every car that sold, including high-mileage examples, while the estimate describes a clean, low-mileage one bought today. Confidence is high: 106 public sales in a year gives a firm read.

The Fox-body Mustang GT represents Ford's phoenix moment, rising from the malaise era to reclaim American muscle credibility. Launched in 1979 on the lightweight Fox platform, the GT truly hit its stride in 1982 when Ford dropped the 5.0-liter H.O. V8 under the hood, delivering 157 hp that felt like a revelation after years of smog-choked disappointment. By 1987, output climbed to 225 hp, making these cars genuinely quick again. The clean, angular styling aged remarkably well, and the platform's inherent balance made it a favorite among enthusiasts and racers alike. Production totaled over 2.6 million Fox-bodies across all variants, but clean, unmodified GTs are increasingly scarce. Today's collectors prize low-mileage examples, particularly the later high-output cars and special editions like the 1993 Cobra R. Values have steadily climbed as enthusiasts recognize the Fox-body's pivotal role in reviving the pony car legend.
