I would really check out the torque boxes on the foxbody because those southsides tear up torque boxes easily if they are reinforced first. Believe me I now from experience.

The ad for the fox doesn't say if it has a aftermarket block. Personally, I wouldn't touch a fox making that much power with a stock block.

Ya I was thinking the same thing but some people say it's okay as long as the car is tuned right and you don't rev it too high, but I agree with you.

that fox isnt really that nice, and its a rolling bomb on the stock block.
Also, im saying this to help you out and not be trying to be an ass... but 14k is a little much for your car, the book value is 7,600 bucks, and i know you have alot done to yours, and its in good shape, but nobody is gonna pay close to double the book value. especially right now, nobodys buying anything
Foxes go for way above book all the time, but they are getting harder to find clean, so people are paying good money for them in good shape. Its pretty easy to find a new edge mustang, no rust in decent shape, cause theres a ton of them around right now.

But it's still no $15K fox.
I'd value the fox at around $6-8K and put the GT around $8-10K. That's why said if you trade, he's making out.

100 pecent agreed, id take his GT over that fox anyday. much tamer, and 100x more reliable
