Are these typical prices on the 100,000 to 200,000 mile cars?
The best places to look would be Auto Trader and Craigslist. Here are a couple for sale in your area. The second one is not a GT but it looks like a good deal.
1988 FORD MUSTANG GT 5 SPEED, PRICE DROPPED TO $3700
5.0 mustang 88"
Its a fender off an 88 Mustang and is an original Ford part.You are right about repro fenders, i tried one off a diff parts car that was a made in taiwan fender(it was only one i had at the time) and it didnt fit properly.It stuck up higher than the nose section where fender/nose and hood meet.It took me maybe 1-2 hours to remove old fender and put new one on then line it up properly, it fit perfect all body lines match up.You can reach in behind headlights thru engine compartment/front area and remove the 4 or 5, 11mm nuts with a small ratchet/socket. 3, 8mm across the top in engine comp, 1 in door jam area behind driver door and 1, 8mm at the bottom between wheel well and drivers door.The 3 screws holding the inner fender can be accessed with the wheel removed.Just carefully wriggle it off the front studs and lift it out and backwards to rear of car more or less.
As long as its American its all gooditd be a lonely drive with no Camaro's,Challengers ,Corvettes etc for competition.
Ive had pretty much my entire car apart now, completely gutted the interior to mop up the antifreeze( previous owner shinanigans again), entire dash was out to replace heater core,i pulled engine and tranny one friday night just to wash the engine down of all the grime ( and repaint) and to fit new engine mounts for BBK headers and complete exhust.Its all back together no rattles squeaks, runs excelent-much to my own astonishment
Yes, the typical price for a decent condition Fox in CA is anywhere from 3-5k. The trick is finding a decent condition fox for sale. A lot of the foxes you see in the ads are in very rough condition.
BTW Are you looking to buy a new Fox? I thought you were going to have your car fixed.
As long as the car doesn't get a Salvage title I would just go ahead and have it repaired. Just make sure you take it to a reputable Body Shop.
In that case I would suggest finding another car. Having a Salvage car sucks imo.
Take whatever good parts you can from your car and then sell it for parts. The insurance money plus the money from the sale of your car should be able to get you a decent Fox. Maybe this time around you can get an '88 T-Top.

Salvage = poor for life.
Yeah but then you have to pay out of your pocket to have it fixed which in turn, defeats the purpose of having full coverage.
You definitely have one bad a$$ car but imo you should have invested all of your money and time into a car with a clean title. The fact is Salvage vehicles, no matter the extent of the damage (if any) are worth considerably less than a clean title car. It is also one of those things that potential buyers try to avoid like the flu. Now I understand that you are probably not going to sell your car in the near future but its always good to know that you can sell your car easily if times get rough (hence buying a clean title car).
In the end, there are way too many project worthy Foxes with clean titles to justify building up a Salvage car. Of course if the car in question was a 67-68 Shelby GT500 it would be a whole different issue. Just my .02.
oh and btw my last "clean title" fox was moer ****ed up then my current salvage title mustang
I'd just take the money and buy another car. I don't think you'll be able to get any more from the insurance company.
I know it sucks but unfortunately thats all you can do. Even if you tried sueing the insurance company you'd have hard time proving to the judge that the car is worth more than $2,100.

True, but i'd still go with the clean title car. You can't expect the average buyer to have the same thinking as you. 9 times out of 10 when people see a Salvage car for sale they walk away. If I was investing several thousands of dollars in a car I would feel more comfortable in putting it into a clean title car even if didn't plan on selling it but thats just me.To each his own.
Back to the original guys question. 2,900 seems pretty fair. I owned a fox when i was 16-18 I'm now 20. If its in good condition its worth it. I bought mine for 2k 103k miles and a dent in the quarter panel. When i sold it I got 2,800 for it after only spending maybe 300 bucks in touch up paint and a lot of hours cleaning it. Clean title foxes are in demand if their not beat to hell. The guy I sold it to wanted to put a 347 stroker into it.
Be warned it will get lose on you if your not easy on the gas. They slide extremely easy even if the roads aren't wet. If your responsible you should be ok. Good luck
