There are many differences in the years of foxes. 79-86 are the ugly ones for starters.

I didn't relize that motors had mileage limits that once they get to a certian mileage then game over. A 20 year old car with 100,000 miles went around 5,000 miles a year that is baby mileage really. plenty of 4 y/o cars with that mileage and plenty of motors with way less than 100,000 that have seen poor maintenance that run hoorible. It really comes down to the motor itself, I would think that before doing a major mod like that one check the state of the motor. My car has 109,000 has perfect compression, oil pressure well within spec, runs at perfect water temp on hot days in traffic and idles nice and smooth and doesn't leak a drop of oil. I would throw a supercharger on it w/o a problem if I was in the market. mileage is a number, just has easy to have a hurt 40,000 mile motor.

I'm going to spend the money to build a motor around the blower.

Just so I understand here. You are going to build a motor around the blower? shouldn't be to hard. Motors are electric, Engines run on gasoline.

No **** Sherlock, common terminology. I hope you feel superior with your semantics.

Shaolin Crane · Nov 22, 2011

I'd give it a good look over, but seems straight for the price.

Bryan83taco · Nov 22, 2011

That looks pretty clean for the price. I'd definitely go check it out before you buy. There can be lots of issues hidden in these cars.

Here's a good thread over at allfordmustangs to check out. It covers pretty much everything you need to look out for when buying a fox

What to look for when buying an used Fox Mustang - Ford Mustang Forums

Good luck, it looks like a good buy from the pics

From what I can see, if you are looking to make this perfect the paint will need redone. It is inconsistent at best. Rear bumper is down past paint. The gas door needs replaced or fixed. The rear windows molding will need repaired or replaced, and the door window trim on the exterior is missing. The carpet is done and the seats can hopefully be cleaned. All in all, this can be done cheap and the body appears to be straight! Not a bad buy, but the running gear would make or break it for me. Good luck

Bumper covers are cheap to have shot in black, less need to blend too.

True, but the fenders looked faded. Cant tell, so would need to see in person, but if my assumptions are correct at that point, entire respray...

and its all cheap for me, I do my own

Shaolin Crane · Nov 22, 2011

I think a buff would do that car good before a respray, or at the very least a scuff and clear

Where is this car located? Because there is a guy in socal who buys and flips foxbodies. The surrounding area looks alot like his shop. If not in socal disregard, if so PM me.

Foxfire or oestang or whatever he goes by

puma1552 · Nov 22, 2011

If it's clean and everything checks out I would scoop that up and see if you can't get it for under $3k.

JUSTaDR3AM3R · Nov 22, 2011

yes this is in the soCal area, PM if you need to tell me anything..

Shaolin Crane · Nov 22, 2011

No they're straight forward. They buy low low low and sell for reasonable enough prices, they'll definitely haggle too.

puma1552 · Nov 22, 2011

For comparison, here's a local GT:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...id=p5197.m7&item=110778781362#ht_30724wt_1167

For the record they are advertising it for an asinine $8400+ on their site (LOL) and I emailed to find out the reserve and it's $6000 (LOL)...so even if you pay $3600 for that car I'd say that isn't bad, but I bet you can get it down. I would jump on it, it probably won't be there too long.

Fox Bodies :)

Now, give me a damn CT!
