Hey guys, Got a call the other day from a good friend. He was doing some work at a guys house and the garage door was open. He peaked inside and saw a mustang, he wasnt sure of the year but knew it was a foxbody and knew that I have a few of them. So he told the guy to call me if he ever wants to sell it. Turns out the guy is selling it, but he only goes on the word of mouth deal. So he called and I went over and took a look. It an 85 Gt, hes the original owner and its mint. Its been inside since 1990 and he said if he put 5k on it within the past ten years he'd be lying. Its a 5 speed and has A/c. Its 100% stock even down to the exhaust! Its got a few things wrong like the passangers side door handles broken, the Gt decal on the hood is cracked/faded and it has a tiny bit of rust behind the door where the rocker panel meets the body. Over all the cars pretty clean. He told me he'd take 2500$ he just wants it to go to a good home. So with this being said, whats it worth? If im aloowed to ask that question in this thread. Oh and it has 90k on it. Here's a few pics:

That freaking thing looks new on the inside! If you dont buy it maybe someone on here could pick it up but i would say that its probably worth 2500. how does it run?

runs alright..Deff needs a tune up. Im hoping its worth more that 2500..I'd like to do the things it needs and hang onto it. He also said that when you get on it from a dead stop it makes a bang noise....Havent driven it yet so I can confirm it. He said its been doing it for years and years..

I had an 85GT, the rear is a 7.5" weak link, could be the bang. Too bad it wasn't an 86. It's a nice car though, interior is mint in those pics.

Depends on where you live. I have been looking for a Fox for quite a while, and I could never find one that the sellers were willing to sell it for,what it's "worth", until I found my Vert. I had to drive 4 hours for it, at that. Most were way above Kbb and the other value sites.

Around here cleaned up that is worth a couple grand more than $2500. Foxes are bringing stupid money the last year or so. Thats why I bought my 99 I was looking for a fox for DD duties but couldnt find a reasonably clean one for less than $8500 and it wasnt as clean as the 99 I picked up for $4k

If you can fix that rust, 2500 is a killer deal. I'd love to have a carbed fox that's actually supposed to be carbed.

New Hampshire I see, nice! Whereabouts if you don't mind me asking? Looks like a good deal for $2500 to me, in the Northeast it could be worth $5k probably if the rust was fixed and the car ran and looked good.
