I followed that build on YouTube . It's a nice car, just don't think it's priced right

a coyote swap is fairly expensive right now....not saying it is priced right but darn close...he's got the right motor, expensive wheels, trans setup and suspension

Seen this car at knotts last year parked next to my friend. Car is clean but I personally think it's a little overpriced.

This ^^^ I have 40K in receipts for the Coyote swap/suspension/trans/fuel system and everything else that goes into it on my '93 and that doesn't include the car.

the more I look at what is into that car..I would say $26k is just about right...the body isnt "show worthy" but man I would think this car has about $40k into it as well...

Have fun (people) duplicating this car for less than $26k... lots of labor into it as well.

My friend Jeremy recently bought his swap items..the 9.5:1 motor, astro T56, ECU and swap parts is $18K just for the motor and trans..and not everything else he ahs into the supension fuel system etc...

Yep, people think the swap is cheap but that's for people who don't know what they're talking about. My engine alone was 9K.

Fuck around and find out, if you don't like the price build one for yourself. See how much it ends up costing and if you even have the expertise to pull it off.

I'm just waiting for someone to say "you can buy _______ for that price!" All in all I love these unique builds [burnout]
 
Posted by NavidR (Member # 3164) on :
 
The issue isn't building it or how much it costs, In my opinion and lots of others, these builds are just not worth the MONEY! Don't get me wrong in the thread yesterday, there was a red cobra done for 21K ish, that was clean as hell.

Seen lots of clean swap and they look amazing, but in reality these builds aren't worth it, you build it and drive it, than some idiot hits you and well the insurance will give you 5k-7K if your lucky???

Obviously I am a huge fan of modular swap foxes but in going to disagree simply because the body is not on par with what a $26k dollar car should be! Now Jeremy's car will be a 26k dollar car once his swap is done! I'm sure u can clearly paint that picture! If not then tell me what u think Jeremy's car would be worth with the coyote swap! Yes u can't replicate it but like most say, u dont get in what u pay! It is what it is. I think the price of this car should be $20k. No way does he see $26k. Just off what the market has these cars actually selling for!

This is why you get collectors car insurance, they'll pay you what the car is worth.

A Plummer paint job would make this a $26k car...but as you said in another thread...you cant duplicate the work that is in a car such as this...


Jeremy just did a bunch of recent work to his as well ...I'm not sure of the value on the car.. it's going to be as perfect as you can get for a "show car" that will be driven a lot...and will eventually get boosted as well...$30 -$35k ????...Every little piece on the car has been gone over...but he wants a driver..not a race or show car...used to have 850rw through and auto and now he's "downgrading" the power to drive it...

I'm glad he shaved the engine bay. Although his car has always been nice, I personally have only seen 1 fox sell for over $30k so what I was going off is real world selling price that would actually sell. What comparable vehicles have sold for. So as we can all agree on is you can put any price you want on a car but that does not mean it will sell for that! Jeremy's car looks great though. Can't wait to see it done!

yeah it'd be hard to price any car with that amount of dollars in it....I've seen 30k foxes before but they're mid 8 sec monsters with great paint etc..

Oh and you know that we will have over $100k into Finns build but even if he was ever to sell that car I would say it would be hard to get anything over $30k. Of course it would never be sold. Sucks but this hobby has no return investment, this ain't real estate
 
Posted by losbadgts (Member # 4394) on :
 
I think its all about the right car. Sure this may be worth 26k to someone or less to others. But u take the right car and build it and u could make a bunch of money. My friend has a jeep xj, looks ugly on the outside but he has spend about 8 to 9k into suspensions tires and gears. If he ever sells that he wont even see close to what he is putting into it. But take a mustang fastback make a nice build and money will be made.

Yes I can agree. Here is a great example of a fox that I think is priced right because of exactly what u just said!

This.

50 cents on the dollar would be lucky on builds on like these. 30% is probably about right. That being said I don't see the value in the coyote swap. And yes I will say it, you can buy a brand new 5.0 with all the creature comforts and a warranty for what this guy is asking in a nearly 30 year old chassis.

I'm a little bit confused. YOU think this car is worth $20k but YOU think your Mach 1 swap fox is worth $25k? I don't know about you but I'd have a Coyote swapped fox(way better motor) than a Mach 1 swapped fox. Not trying to talk shit just don't understand. [Confused]

Actually I said that I wouldn't sell my car less then 20k and with the upgrades I'm doing right now I wouldn't take less then 25k. I just put another 10k in my fox. A and my fox has show quality paint job, new edge interior swap and iRS! So even u can see the difference. Plus my car is on a whole nother level then the car in OP, it's a motor swap that anybody could do theirselves, don't impress me. My car is wired front to back with everything working and no lights on my dash! And my car has been BAR'd, 100% smog legal! Would his pass smog? No. Shall I keep going?

Ok with that being said. Most people do the coyote swap for about $12k. All new parts. Add the tranny in and some suspension. 18k and the stock 4 eye body(nothing special or expensive in any way) say $3000.so investment without labor we are looking at roughly 21-23k! But the people on here think this car is worth 26k??? Lol get outta here. Where is the 50% investment? I base cars off a whole package not a silly motor swap that all conversion parts are sold for! Don't take anything more then a set of wrenches and some time to put one of these motors in

Nate to make that car smog legal would take a TON of work. My car has the full evap ran from tank to motor, tank, all EgR
Parts, and no to u smog don't mean anything, me either. My new build won't pass simply for the longtubes I'm putting on but will still pass pipe if I run pump gas

I think he's got closer to $40K into this one, he has a top notch suspension and a few items that make it stand out from the crowd. The car also has national recognition which does count. I'd say high teens is a fair price.
 
Posted by *BlownMach1*- TRMYN8R (Member # 5400) on :
 
Well to be fair, I love these swaps and want to one on my next project. I honestly think that it could be done on a budget using used parts. I seen a complete motor on SVTP the other day for $3800, a couple conversion parts, a K-member, exhaust and control packs and it's done. Grab a used T-56 out of a cobra and I think this swap could be done for about $10k into a rolling fox chassis. Using manual steering and manual brakes if course. I would think a used hydro boost setup wouldn't be to expensive either. Would be a fun project. Maybe I will do it and ask $26k and see what cafords says then.

Although I am glad that cafords is coming around to the idea of foxbodys being worth more money. At one time people were saying it's stupid to put over $10k in a fox cause they would never sell for more then $10k! Times have changed

Here's what it REALLY costs to do it the proper way with new running gear. ..this doesnt include the clutch and transmission to hold 800rw either
And then the blower setup

Suspension

paint

Custom wheels.

you can it cheap..or you can do it right.

Ya Jason that setup is for boost and has a lot of upgraded parts that are necessary for high HP. The car the OP posted does not have those parts. There are many ways to tackle this. Jeremy is doing it right!!! I'm sure he will be throwing on a big blower to. Should make great power. Some twins would be sick. Make over 1000rw

I've built, modded, rebuilt..plenty of vehicles. .my own personal when through a full redo (suspension, fuel, drivetrain) 2 years ago...decided against a swap and dumped the money into an HP setup instead of swap parts...

Never have done a swap yet but definitely looking forward to doing one someday soon..thinking of going 4v in my car

Jeremy is doing it right!!! I'm sure he will be throwing on a big blower to. Should make great power. Some twins would be sick. Make over 1000rw
Actually he's shying away from the 1xxx digits anymore. .he wants more of a driver like the 700 to 750rw area at most...he's thinking of doing one of the new prochargers with that step boost system so he can a low boost and higher boost tune on the fly...

I've built, modded, rebuilt..plenty of vehicles. .my own personal when through a full redo (suspension, fuel, drivetrain) 2 years ago...decided against a swap and dumped the money into an HP setup instead of swap parts...

Never have done a swap yet but definitely looking forward to doing one someday soon..thinking of going 4v in my car
[Eek!] Yes do the 4v mod!

Really considering it...a lot more streetable especially in the higher HP area...heads are better...handles boost a lot better...newer technology etc...

4v FTW!! Do it Jason, I made the switch like 5 years ago and will never build another pushrod motor for myself. Yes modulars are a little more pricey but it's about the technology and the streetable power aspect. My motor is at don's shop right now. My pockets are getting drained fast!!!

I've said it before, & I will say it again... A Fox is worth whatever someone will pay for it! I'm getting tired of hearing people argue about what a fox is or isn't worth. Every "overprced fox" thread I've seen over the last few weeks all had badass, well done foxes that were all worth a nice chunk IMO... Guaranteed none of the cars in question could be properly built for under $30k, period!!!

This is why I will NOT sell my fox anytime soon, because even though my car is clean & has a bunch of good parts on it, to the average Cafords'er, My car is worth $6k... I wouldn't sell it for less than $12k & my car ain't even "nice" like these ones, but that is what my car is worth TO ME!

Not to mention y'all, but that full Maximum Motorsports suspension setup ain't cheap either, on top of all the other custom parts involved!

Foxbodys worth 2500 at the most lol
 
Posted by *EPIK* (Member # 7481) on :
 
So. Since these cars are worth $20k-&26k, I wonder what Streakmatts fox would be worth?

Power to weight is always the best way to judge the FUN factor of any vehicle...do the math!

2900 lb Foxbody + 450 Plus HP Coyote = [Wink]

How many coyote swaps under your belt ? How much did it cost you after it was done?
Just wanted to hear from your experiences in cost compared to the asking price of coyote swapped fox orginally posted, IMO I think this one is priced right

as others said im sure the fox posted has well over 30k and thats probably why not many are building them like this and because of the work it takes to do it right

"To do it right"..... That's the key there. Is it cheap, what's cheap to you? Can a simple coyote swap be done in a relatively affordable manner, yes! There is no reason you can't find a good take out motor, buy a cheap UPR K member, buy the computer/harness, and make it all work with a little time and effort. Most people would just rather bitch about it in one way or another and nit pick anyone's build they come across who has actually done it. I'm sure the owner of the car for sale at the start of this post doesn't give two shits what anyone here thinks.

It seems that most here bitch about the cost and smog. Well, there are plenty of people who can see the time and money invested in the car, and don't have any concern for smog. You see..... There are other states outside of California that smog is not an issue. Amazing concept really....

Carry on haters....

well if it really was cheap to have a coyote motor in a fox built proper with top grade suspension and passing smog im sure you wouldn't be asking how many people on Cafords have done it
yea im sure you can cut corners the whole way and use upr products and "make it work" but then you still end up with a rather expensive build with second best components and who wants that?

doing it right is using the best components in your build, which the fox posted has and im sorry but 30-40k is not cheap

IMO i think the swap would be cheaper if ford made this engine a mass production engine in other cars and trucks not just in the mustang. give it another 5-10 years this swap will be the new LS swap.
