The one piece headlights justify the sales price by themselves. Salvage probably only due to theft right? LOL

It's getting harder and harder to find a nice one, I am looking at this one but I don't think it will go cheap

man i remember a few years back I bought a few foxbodies in GREAT condition for around 3000-3500.. Now even the buckets are going for like 4000-5000.. You wouldnt believe the piece of shit trade offers Ive had for my 2000 gt, and some dumbasses actually go as far as asking for cash on top on MY end for a car thats worth about $3000 max on a good day!! [Eek!] [BS flag]

HOLY SHIT, thats a bad ass ride!! See something like this is worth the money.. But even then, the price usually gets to a point where you gotta stop & think "is it really worth that".. But i guess its a buyers market right, people will continue to mark up prices as long as people are willing to pay these outrageous numbers..

Market goes up and down. Everyone always wants to get the most money the can. What's still surprising is even with in immaculate low mile fox, people still only want to pay "35hunnit" for it! Lol!

Fox body prices are straight laughable. A couple years ago you can find them in decent shape for $2500-$3000, Now you cant even get a salvaged title sideshow fox for that lol. I doubt any of these cars are selling either, People are just asking crazy stupid prices for nothing.

I'd rather buy a nice 96-98 Cobra before i even touch another fox for the same price.

You better hope it has push rod motor or coyote motor in it, 4.6s suck.

Buy a stock AOD and swap in a T5.
No one wants an AOD and there is less of chance they were beaten on.

Fox body prices are starting to go really high for the ones with salvage and need paint, and interior. Who comes up with the worth? Must be people thinking a salvage titled car has the same resale value. Since 06 I have bought and sold 24 of these mustangs, all bought for less than 500 bucks. Yes they all needed work but that was the going rate. Now that I'm almost done with number 25 it's almost time to sell it. It's a stock 1990 five speed car with black interior and vermillion red exterior. But I'm not really sure what it will be worth when done. Maybe 1 million bucks? Why not price it high like everyone else ,SMH

Exactly!! I know people with automatics who beat on their cars worse than people with 5 speed foxes..

$1000 isn't bad at all if it was a good running driving car.. I see cars that don't even run right, have beat up bodies, whooped interiors, etc for sale asking like $2500.. haha

You're right... I think I was lucky w/ mine. BUT, they are harder to sell/resell, so you can probably get a solid deal on one. How many times do you guys read a CL ad then say, aawww, it's an auto.

What am I missing here? Should these things be in the $1500-$2500 range? This guy wants $4500 for this junk

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/4584579252.html

And this guys wants $4K for this junk

I know Coyote Swaps are cool but this thing is at $18900 so far for is just a NA setup it is only making around 500hp, for that kind of money you kind find one making 800-1000hp with a push rod 4 bolt main motor, with an A4, R302 or Dart Block.

Agreed!! I would ask a lot to accommodate for low ball offers.
