That's a 500 car at best. I've been buying and selling mustang s in Florida for a decade and there are MUCH better deals.
Foxbody 2.3 Need Some Help!
- Thread starter Dennis.A
- Start date
Yeah true, buy why all these low prices? Is it cause it's a 2.3? How much would it be worth if I were to get a 5.8 in there with maybe like 60k Ish miles semi built , new paint fixed and cleaned interior, fixed exterior be. Cause if I do sell this car after owning it for a while id like to see a profit. And well it's gonna take a lot of convincing to go to 500, the guy did a lot of suspension work
You would easily have 6k into that car trying to restore it. That's a donor car at best. Look for a clean roller if you want to do a 351 swap.

Damn really, even if I do most of the repairs myself? my dads really good at working on these cars, I thought I'd be more around 1k for paint about 1k for motor and tranny from CL,(comes with exhaust but I need swap headers) interior parts that it needs 300ish (it honestly doesn't need much), exterior I'd say about 1.4k for tails,headlights<(have some laying around)new hood and some wheels with tires. I also planned on selling the 2.3 and tranny. Also we have all the tools that we need, (he owns a car dealership now, but we repair cars to)
Trust me man. Trim and interior parts add up quick. As do the 351 swap goodies. By your math you are already at 3400. And you haven't covered incidentals, gaskets, fluids, swap harnesses, ecu, injectors, And you still have a swapped 4 banger that does not sell well. Everyone wants an original v8 car. run screaming.
Here's another car that you could likely get for under 3k

Hmm not bad,(just not a fan of 4 eyes
) pretty good for all that it comes with, yeah if I do get this one if go 500, I appreciate everyone's help, this car is a POS but I think it'll be a fun POS that my friends and family can all help out on, I think I'd be fun, I'll check CL again cause I saw a clean black foxhatch for like 500 just she'll though, no interior either. Also he said to me something about a pinion seal needing replacing to... Hope the seal isn't to muchDamn dude that car is
ing gorgeous!!! 
woow man I'm gonna have to message that guy later, see if I could get it for like 2800 maybe, cause Atm I can't afford to much

If you get that 4 banger don't pay a dime over 1k. Get it running and drive as is. When/if you buy another Fox swap over the suspension, that 3g alternator and anything else that may be worth saving. 4 bangers aren't worth turning into anything other than transportation.

Damn dude that car is ****ing gorgeous!!!
yeah, beg borrow and steal to get that car. If it wasnt literally as far as possible as you can get from where I currently am located, I would be all over it.
He figured a grand in materials if he did it himself. It's doable but even in material costs he could be into a much better car.
Well I know a couple people who can do it for me for free, as long as I purchase paint and prep,I've been doing work at there shops since I was like 8, they say it'll be my "bday gift from us" lol
He's looking to trade for a daily maybe your old man could help you out in that dept.Damn dude that car is ****ing gorgeous!!!
Yeah man, jeez I'm starting to think
this car I'm looking at now and hop all over that, damn she's a beautTrue true, hmm I'm starting to think this could work out pretty well, and if that's a legit 25th anniversary the price of them will definitely increase over time
Haha I'm still looking at it in shock and awe, wow is all I have to say hahaTrue true, hmm I'm starting to think this could work out pretty well, and if that's a legit 25th anniversary the price of them will definitely increase over time
