I have a coworker that just bought a sweet 79 malibu. I need to get some pics of it, but he doesn't drive it to the plant very often. @TOOLOW91 would like this one.

Allen, here's one for you . Guy has to have $2000 in parts in the car... If I had the space I'd offer $1500 and part it out.

The other thing that is super hard to find is the side molding. Nobody reproduces the pre-86 that I'm aware of. If someone else does, post it up.

I haven't been up to speed lately on the value of Fox bodies as I'm neither buying or selling and kinda was out of the loop for a few years, but holy hell when did these things take off?

Looking on CL and Ebay, I see the value of clean cars approaching $7-10K! Nothing special, 100-125K miles, stockish, but clean.

Have they really gone up?

It's not just foxes. All the 80s bic razor cars are going up. G bodies, f bodies, everyone wants their high school car back. I was honestly ready to sell mine, but they are just steadily creeping up.

About 4-5 years ago I predicted that here on this site. It's just the normal market flow of cars, I've seen it happen before. Several of the regulars including one with a black ttop 86 told me I was nuts. Lol. I pointed out supply and demand, and for some reason that concept just didn't ring a bell. Guess what? They're not done climbing in price, either.

In another 10 years we will see decent foxes bringing 15+ with the crap parts cars running in the 4-5 mark. I know these cars were mass produced and for that reason no one was afraid to junk them or cut them up into race cars. Makes the nicer road worthy ones just that much more valuable.

Also means everyone driving a nicer one should adjust their insurance policies accordingly

It's the same thing that happened with the 64-66 mustangs. When I was a kid riding to the grocery store with my mom I'd literally see 5-10 of those on the trip across town. They were everywhere, as some of the most produced cars literally in history. Now, depending on where you are, a restorable specimen starts around 10k. The fox is no different, just two decades roughly behind gen 1.

browsing around other stand sites in the classified, found a lot of owners asking $10K+ for their "average" 100K+ mile Fox 5.0's.

Seriously?

Don't get me wrong, these are clean, tasteful cars. But at we really at that point where a stockish, clean LX hatch with 130K on the clock is worth $11K?

They may be working on it. The 86/86 door molding has to be fairly new.

No, we aren't, not in the Northeast anyway. That's describes my car exactly, and I got it for 3 this past winter. I've seen a few more for sale in between 3 and 4 now that it's warmer out.
