Click to expand...

well I snapped the front off my crank shaft last june, so the motor was rebuit .... AGAIN. Then when I got it back together (driving the motor back and forth to chicago) the clutch would not disengage. So I had to take it all appart, turns out that the engine builder swaped the disks on the clutch (dual disk clutch). So I put that all back together and NOw my trans wont seat back in the bell housing. so I have some strong guy comming over this weekend to get it back in.

Long story short the mutag has been pissing me off latley I have even toyed with the Idea of selling it / trading for an 03 cobra. But I dont think I can ever part with her. Plus I have such a crazy amount of money into the car that I just dont see that happening.

Im also building the t top notch, that is going slow, and of course costing lots of money.

Somebody front me the cash to buy the original rare car in this thread, I will have OCC restore it perfectly, we will get Jesse James to autograph it, and sell it on Barret Jackson. I'll split the take even.

What say? I know someone will go with me on this....

Heh, I gotta chime in on this one. First off, it is somewhat hard to find a Fox Mustang in reasonable shape, we all know this, right? Or do we? A lot of folks are trying to pull one over on peeps who have no clue about what they are buying but 1 out of 5 peeps will know Fox's and know what to look for to avoid getting ripped off. I for one can't stand people who say things like "I would not pay 1500 for that car that needed body work"! Well lets get real, our cars are 15 to 20 years old and have seen many owners and have been put through it. Some just need TLC. It's a matter of what that person wants to buy and how much they are willing to spend on it to make them happy. Do a search on E-bay and see what the Fox's go for! I have seen POS Fox's go for 3- 4k that needed all sorts of work! I for one plan to ask 4k to 4.5K for my 87'GT and mine is in great shape, not show room perfect, but in great shape inside and out and not ragged.

Yea I paid 3500 for mine, it needs paint, needed brakes, needs valve cover gaskets, needs everything. I couldn't find a fox let alone a 5.0 5 speed for my life.
