looking to buy a fox

[2fast4u770]

so i found a fox with a perfect body(new paint, no dents or anything. but has no engine or trans for $1000. but the average fox with a motor and trans in my area is $4000 to $6000..i all ready have a daily driver and looking for the fox as a project..what is the better deal.need help

depends on your end goal. are you going to build a race car and a custom engine? is it going to be a weekend cruiser?

if it's going to be a race car the shell might be a good deal as you will probably change everything anyhow.

if it's going to be a stockish engine type car i'd buy one ready to drive.

$1000 for a roller with a straight body is a very nice deal. If it's a project car, then you're free to build the drivetrain anyway you wish. It's essentially a blank canvas. Does it have an interior?

 

[2fast4u770]

well its gonna b a little of both..weekend driver but gonna be taking it to the strip alot to..i would like to get a 347 short block and start from there..engine wise nothing stock.

have a old redline and huffy frame

 

[2fast4u770]

yes it does..complete car only without motor and trans

 

[robo]

i'd buy it then.

what kind of redline frame do you have?

 

[2fast4u770]

idk..its a old racing frame

take a few pics and email them to: robertkuhl@aol

you might have a good one. i might be interested if you want to sell it.

good luck with the car.

Is it a 4 cyl car or original v8 car? Makes a difference IMHO

 

[2fast4u770]

[RacEoHolic330]
