See there’s two guys local that buy up all the coupes.If I were to actually buy a very clean, lightly modded foxbody, I would probably make an effort to demodify it and return it to stock. This is actually part of my plan as I seek out some sort of Fox/Sn95 to purchase after my car is finished. I doubt i'll find a stocker, but if I found one with bolt-ons, I might be crazy enough to return it to stock. A no-brainer if the car is something like a Fox Saleen, or a '93 Cobra, however I actually think if I found an LX convertible with a 93 cobra intake on it, that I would put the HO intake back on.
The nice thing about my current fox is that I know i'm never going to sell it. It's been 23 years, and the sentimental attachment pretty much mean it's mine forever, so it stops me from thinking about what mods I should or shouldn't do. It's freedom of sorts and I could care less about perceived value of the car, although it's flattering in a way when I used to get people try and make offers on it when I went out for a drive. However, buying a collectable fox like a 93 Cobra, I could see myself selling that as values appreciate, especially if it gets to the point where they become a $100K car like a Boss 429. I feel in that case, I couldn't modify it, and needed to locate NOS parts for it. I would also feel bad driving the thing.
I remember when these things were a dime a dozen. You could get 50-75K mile examples in near stock condition for $5-6K. A driver was a $1500-2K car that didn't need much other than paint and some interior trim. Parts cars/rollers were $500-1000. You could drive down the road and see at lease one on every used car lot. I spent my teenage years drooling over $7-8K 90-93GT's with 50K miles, and had to "settle" for my "cheap" $4500 LX with ~45K miles on it. Now I find a 93 Cobra for sale for $25K and think to myself...maybe I should buy this?
Could do the BBK bolt on ls but have to drill themIf you do any modifications, make sure they aren't permanent and keep the parts you remove.
I'd say a good set of subframe connectors would be a permanent but necessary modification.
I don't see how bolt in subframe connectors are anywhere near as effective as the weld in type.

Most are modified original 5.0 coupes, they pull everything and return it to stock. Sell it for more as “original”.
Then they take the parts and either sell them like big ticket items like the Blowers/Trickflow heads/ stroker motors
Or use the left overs for their converted 4 cylinder builds to incentivize the buy.
