'91 LX convertible
302 FRPP Boss crate engine
Windsor Jr heads
Scorpion 1.6 rockers
Mac equal length headers, H pipe, out to Flow Max mufflers
3.73's
rebuilt T5 with new Centerforce DF clutch
BBK subframes

I have not seen it in person yet but it looks super clean in the pictures. The biggest attraction for me is the Boss block 302. So what do you guys think ? The offer is this car plus cash on top for my Cobra.

I guess if you want a Foxbody vert. I'd be pretty hard pressed to trade an SN for that. The block maybe good, but the Boss block is by no means the best, and with those heads it's of no advantage whatsoever. Not sure if you have a vert now, but I would never own a Fox vert. It is not a Ford car, all the vert mods were done by aftermarket companies and then shipped to the dealers. Dropping the top is major affair, and they always leak. Always.

if it was not for the fact its a vert it would be more tempting from my point of view but if thats what you like then go for it.

It looks pretty clean in the pics, but all depends on what you like. I am not a fan of fox verts, so I would keep the '94 and build your engine in it. Plus, your '94 has 4 wheel disk brakes, and the fox has rear drums. I hate working on drum brakes, so that is a negative for me. But just because it isnt my thing, doesnt mean you wouldnt enjoy it. If you want something different, then I say go for it.

Your car has dual air bags, ABS, 4-wheel disc brakes, better sound system, electric fan, much much more and looks nicer than a FOX. I'd keep what you have unless you're in love with FOX verts.

That's a pretty FN nice Fox. That's all I really have to say about the whole thing except I'd probably buy that for my kid.

I think I see a stain in the back seat. Car could have been used in Highway Gangbang 10: In Da Butt. I'd work him down if that's the case.

Remember, he is offering cash $$$ on top of the car and I would have to see at least $3000 to even consider it.

Unless the Mustang was built before '74, I wouldn't even consider trading...and even then only if I was in the market for a classic. Trading backwards from EFI to an archaic carburetor?!? As far as I'm concerned, he ruined the car when he removed the EFI. Unless your Cobra is a complete pile, pass on it. I don't care how nice a shape that Fox is.

Don't mind him.... they read backwards that far north. I think water swirls down the drain in the opposite direction too... At least during the few times that it's in liquid form.

Definately something to consider. I think your $3000 is very reasonable, and I wouldn't take anything less. It wasn't too long ago that 94'-95' Cobras were commanding upwards of $12k, but they seem to have dropped down to about $8K recently.

It is a total buyer's market right now. I have been seeing unbelievable deals on highly desirable cars lately. Another guy offered me a 2003 Harley V-Rod for trade.
