It seems like so many are missing the MAJOR point about these cars.
Once cars hit the "30 years old" mark they are never priced like they were at the 5-10 year old mark.
That's due to so many people wanting to relive their youth.
I'm able to look back at 50s/60s cars that were $1500 and less in the early 80s and are now a $25k and up car now.
And I'm talking they are in SAME condition they were back then.
We all want a piece of our youth but you gotta pay to play.
Yup, bought my first old car in 1994. 74 Chevelle for $500. Followed by a 69 Road Runner in 1998 for $1800. In 2001 I bought a 70 Cuda with a 440 for $7000. Old cars aren't cheap like they were.
I want the Geo Prism of my youth.
Now I feel a lot better for my recent buy- 1986 LX ragtop with 80k miles. 5.0 injected that was owned by a 91 year old lady who bought it new. Got it for $6700.
You stole that
Bro listen I got a 1990 rag top. One owner ,123k miles, just for 8k.
not bad if you like verts and like four eyes. me personally i dont like neither one. to each their own though and if your happy thats al that matters. enjoy
Suddenly, I no longer feel so bad about my car. 😮
Same..lol
Same here
Fact😂
Same. My car is just a garage ornament at this point but it looks great. Compared to this poor video, night and day.
Same
If you can't swing a Fox Mustang...check out their brother the Thunderbird. Rides better, tends to not be abused, takes 80% off the same parts, doesn't attract "5.0" attention when you're out on the road enjoying its potential. My 1986 turbocoupe was nearly invisible to police but my 1986 GT Mustang was always being followed by cops trying to find an excuse. And you rarely see one at cruise nights, so you don't have to spend a lot of dough to stand out with one.
Very cool that you guys got it running for that guy. I hope he appreciates it. You guys are welcome to come over here to do a engine swap on mine. I got beer 😁🍺
I like beer
Thats a bad ass truck in the back
I talked to the guy on market place. It definitely sounded like a guy wanting to get rid of it because he was done messing with it. You guys doing God's work helping him out.
This makes me feel much better about my LX 5.0 Rag top. Had it for 20 years now and just got it running decent, but the interior, my god needs work.
That a/c delete is an old kit that CJ sold long time ago. I bought one for the 86 I had 10 years ago and that's how it was. instructions said just to use factory pulley. How I ran it until I went with a march set up.
Been looking at fox bodies for a few years, prices went through the roof are rapidly dropping now. Some are still being offered at inflated prices but i saw a bunch at reduced what i feel are normal prices
Trailer load of. Foxbodies from southern states are still worth gold up in northern states. Add inspection laws taking many rusted ones off the road...
What are normal prices?
@@tstelogeannis $15-$20k
What kind of conversions do you look for?
Been looking since early 2021 myself for one
Bought an 87 notch roller for 2k. Super clean, was all original when I got it.
We just picked up a really good one for a great deal ! Gotta beat the bushes and be ready to get it quick!
That blue one might be my old one I wish I could get one back
I have a bone stock 1993 LX 5.0 with 59,000 original miles. Garage kept, 2nd owner at around 8,000 miles. No rust. I can send you pics.
you selling it? im lookin for one to buy
Cars nice has potential love ur videos man gotta give u credit for the stuff u do anything is possible
This is a random question. I have a 1988 GT convertible. My cruise and horn isn't working. Someone has replaced clutch cable and aluminum quadrant. There's a creame colored box under the dash on drivers side that has 2 plugs on it. It's not plugged in. Do you have any idea what that is? I've had a few foxbody but never had to mess with that. I can send pics if you have a place I can send them too.
This is about $7500 in my area 😱
I got my 86gt for a ragged out audi A4. Thinking I got a good deal.
These videos make me wish I lived close by and could just come over and lend a hand at times! These cars are part of my memories of the days when I first got my license. I couldn’t get one back then but I loved them from a distance. Besides maybe I could help push if need be! 🤣
I got a 1988 lx convertible, hoping to upgrade the engine at some point . But paid $500
Dam hate when people hack away 😮hey you guys figured it out fast
Interior lights were on while yall were rifdimg down the road.
How do I get in touch with your shop??????
When you going to give those three cars away? In three years or so maybe? I dropped my sub, I havnt heard anything about Frostbite in months.
Well that one's in better condition than the one restored its been 15 years of fun and money. Lol
It’s a decent parts car I guess
This is the fox we all started with 🤷🏻♂️.
Makes me like the S550s even more ! As a guy who bought a 5.0 fox body new I can’t see paying these prices for such beat down cars ! 😢
take it to the junkyard
I drove a Fox body when it was 6 months old back in the day. What a pos. Should never be called a Mustang.
There's worse at that price
Good job premium for paying him for nothing
It Breaks My Heart Anytime I SEE a Fox that's abandoned
What a pile, accident damage, doesn't run, no AC, rust with paint coming off, it's not even a Notch. Prices have been ridiculously high ever since Dennis Collins sold his Foxbody collection in 2018. Now every owner is trying to sell their rust bucket Fox like it's gold plated
Is a notchback preferable?
@moonbeamskies3346 I guess it's whatever preference the buyer has. I've had four, all were notches
Shit that would be 10k here in Ontario Canada
I feel very lucky. My friend had an 86 GT T5 that has been sitting since 2006 with about 80K on it. I had the same car but AOD in the early 2000's that I totaled and had a bunch of parts still.
I bought his for $1500 with all the parts (mostly wheels) that he had 2.5 years ago. It didn't start and needed some work. Just to get started was Battery, Cables, Fuel Pump, and Oil Change (fuel filter and tank bushings while I was at it), but it ran.
Finally got to work on it the past few months and got rid of the oil leaks. Now I have to bleed the brakes and throw some of my suspension parts on it.
After seeing this for $3500, I can get about $5000 easy, but I'm keeping it as long as possible.
I would've passed on this car,3500.....
I'm in Indiana and gauging selling my 88 5.0 5 speed quad shock vert and after seeing this I don't think that $5500 is out of the realm of reality for it. Solid boxes no rust needs a repaint and the quarter windows fixed!
I would name it the Uh Oh 5.0
For $3500 last week I got an 83 GLX 5.0 5sp vert with under 44 K original miles. The guy put the wrong clutch or something when he did a TKO swap and the clutch wont release. He threw a bunch of nice front end parts at it ,adjustable coilovers 5 lug etc..
Lol! that is a hard pass car if i ever saw one. The amount of money required to make that a nice car you could just go buy a nice car and have money left. even if you did the majority of the work.
I've got a 91 that's gonna be for sale in a few weeks and I'm not taking less than $8500. But the hard work is done next to a paint job. Just a bunch of little thing's that can easily be fixed👌
That would be an interesting build but looks like it will require a lot of body work to make it a solid car what does the floor pan & frame rails look like? Good Luck with it . 🇺🇸🇵🇷🦊👍
@ferdinandcuevas8457 there is ZERO rust on her my good man. The little things I'm referring to are.... The power windows. I'm not 100 percent certain but I believe the window motors are bad for the windows won't go all the way down. The hatch won't stay closed, typical Fox problem. Where you put the gas nozzle in leaks, another typical Fox problem. She still has the factory interior in her. But unfortunately the carpet in the front and the hatch, and the front seats need replacing.
The good things is the dash, the headliner, and the factory kick panels are all there and look brand new. The back seat doesn't look like anybody has ever sat on it. She's got cup holders "bought from LMR" but I have the factory center console and yes the ash tray lid still works.
I'm not gonna lie or make up a bunch of ridiculous B.S about the car. Is she perfect? Well no of course not. But the old girl is mostly original and you can drive her while you fix the little thing's she needs👌
Good luck prices are bottoming out right now should have tried to sell a year ago.
@@msk3905 I'll hold onto her, I'm in no hurry to sell🤷♂️
That's about 8400.00 more than I would pay for it junk yard price isn't even worth keeping around 😅
So glad I got my fox for only $700 a few years ago.
Looking at that car in 2023 relate to looking at 1953 cars in 1988 !!
Good Lord I am old and so are Fox body Mustangs !
My 04 GT seems brand new comparing both, it just goes to show how a budget car can need a boat load of work & parts, this knocking fox is a prime example
of what the owner had bought and how much over his head he is, great job of getting it running guys.
Just got my '90 Foxbody Convertible to the house. Ive been watching it sit for 8 years. I finally got it. Spent the last two days cleaning the Spider webs and a dirt off of it. Now comes the fun of dropping the crappy stock parts. Any ideas?
Makes me realize how much I LUCKED OUT, when I bought mine back in '15. and I was ignorant about the Fox Body fords. The big positive for me, also was. I'm in the Southwest. NO RUST. Still, It's nice that you guys got this running for the "cat" that owns that car. I bet he felt like a million bucks, driving it back home.
I don’t feel so bad about pulling the motor on my daily driven convertible and freshening it up.
Good video caleb. This is right on point.
Guy I know he has a 90 fox body 5.0 there's no motor no transmission no front glass or back glass the head lights are out of it an tail lights are gone the inside is all gone no seats no back seat all different size tires different wheels it's a mess ..he wants $10,000 for it I thought dude your crazy .
Sounds like he's a little dim.
lol he is nuts
I I paid 4900, for a 1983 glx convertible 3.8 v6 auto. All original polar white exterior and top. Cadet blue interior. Just hit 92k og miles ive done all its maintained. The car runs like new and looks like it just came out of the factory. 1 owner history a farmer in kansas, passed down to his son who couldn't fit in it so he kept it safe n under tarps. Went to buy jet skis left with a foxbody
Best decesion in my life
MSD, take it off,
You people forget the the Mustang wasn't the only foxbody! I got a 78 Fairmont wagon! 4 speed, manual rack, non power rack! A 393 and my tci transmission! It's a South Carolina car!!😂😂
Thinking bout a low buck redneck build! Got a 95 roller block, .030 over trw pistons on the rods, balanced! Roller 95 block! Got a 94F150 flareside! Got a 78 Fairmont wagon! Factory 4 speed, manual steering, manual brakes! Got a 94F150 flareside! Got a access to 2 460's! The wagon would be an awesome driver, but no air!!
If that car was in Michigan, people would be asking $5k-$7k, believe it or not. Those GT cars hide rust, and is why I always give them the side eye.
Mustangs are way over priced and people paying upwards of on 10 to 20 grand is crazy I love them but not paying that everyone ridding the wave and on band wagon people mess up car game for us mustangs and f body smh most of time they look like this trying sell it for 6 7 grand in my area after it’s been beat to hell not in good way
My project cost me 5 yrs and about 500000 later runs 5.63 at 268 lol alot of blood sweat and tears ..so i know exactly 💯 what they take to get show worthy and race worthy
Yeah, like the svo mustang that doesnt even run for 6000k in brighton tn. I get it, its a complete car and rare but for 6k, come on guys. Its a tin can foxbody.
The body is rough which is sad looks like someone painted it and didn't do the best job. The strut towers and all look decent. Normally they go first. Mines in great shape. Other then the wiring. So termix fixed that
I picked up an 89 lx a month ago for 3800 with a little over 98,000 auto I have loved this car I’m looking into turbo kits thinking about posting so videos of it
Bought mine for 1,300 1991 vert it ran just needed tires registration alignment strut tower bushings and a new convertible top
I think those Ford mustangs are all just a big bunch of hype and not much more than that like seriously people 😂😂😂🤭
I wouldnt take less than 12K for mine and it still needs paint. I have easily that much invested in it, not including the 6500 i paod for it.
Same here. I've replaced just about everything mechanical on mine, it's just got small thing's that need to be dealt with.
@Roger-fs5yo I didn't have to touch the drive train either except for some little things. It was all redone. Parts add up fast.
@adamrushka8096 I put a 600 Holley carb and a brand new T-5 from LMR in mine and that's basically all I had to do to mine. That transmission was 2 grand straight out of the box.
@poconofrank9476 the only T5s available new are made by Tremic. So technically he did.
@@adamrushka8096 the design of the T-5 regardless is weaker than the Tremec 3550 or TKO variations. Technicality or not, the T-5 is an inferior design.
Is that car a 88? And anywhere near Ohio? This may be my old car from high school and I’d trade a pristine one for it
Clapped out, cowl hood, a tachometer with shift light?
Walk, no, run away.
Needed a $500 ecu and a $100 battery to even crank over. So over 4k into a bad car that still needs one of everything
And I have a 22,000 mike lx 5.0 for sale , that I can’t even get any interest
Just watching this walk around gives me anxiety...
I wish I had land like that. That would be like 850 million dollars on stupid long island
Glad I got my 88 for $3500 when I did years ago.
Got my first Fox body this year. An 89 GT. Only paid $900 for it. Body in good shape. Interior was gutted but he still had the molding but no seats. He took the top end of the engine apart so I'm trying to figure out what motor to put in. I know I'm going to switch it over to a manual. Will be a fun toy.
351w my boy. I’m building one for my 93 gt convertible. I’m going with the Edelbrock 2092 top end kit. Bbk headers, x pipe flowmaster super 44s. I’m changing the seats and the steering wheel and putting a new rag top on it for the summer I CANNOT WAIT
Looks like an abused pile, parts car possibly only.😮
That Fox has had a hard life, and patched up most likely to unload.
I see a Fox that’s all there . Love and lipstick and she’s good to go.
I just need the hood... The one on the LX would be fine also 😆
7 months later you can get the same car but instead its a 4 cyl
Give me one them mustangs I have a 289 an trans to put in one
I wouldn't pay 35 dollars for that
I need you guys to do some work on my car 92 GT
Snagged my project for 2k but it wasn't a complete car and didn't run. Body is good and straight without any rust. 🤑
That’s a dam shame someone would let it get to that
I sold my car for $6,500 to a guy in 2016. In 2022, I bought it back from him for $3,800. GT40X heads, E-Cam, GT40 intake, Black interior, t5 car with plenty of suspension stuff. He screwed up the electrical in the car with a hack job stereo system install & he let a little rust get into the floor boards. It's come a helluva long way since then and is my daily, now.
Look at that drivers door gap to fender😳🤦🏼♂️ she can be brought back…hopefully! I guess my project roller 86 T-Top is not so bad after looking at this fox and she needs a floorpan but….well…t-tops🤷🏼♂️
I've been lucky, i just picked up an all original 92 4 cyl notch manual car for 3500 and a 89 hatch 4 cyl auto for 1300 original paint etc as well neither have been in wrecks.
Just bought my first hatchback for 400 hopefully it was a good deal, has no interior or engine but has a roll cage already
Thats what i paided for my coupe about a year ago 3k
Did it look like that?
@Roger-fs5yo my driver side was also hit and it kinda bent the frame a bit with a 4 banger. It had a few rust hole also along with 2 marble size crack in the windshield
@@musclecargarage8882I understand
OK my car isn't that great but I feel it's worth a million bucks right now! (CDN dollars if course lol)
Shes a beauty
"I love these cars,but there not worth what people are asking for them these days,it's a shame it's came to this it truly makes me sick,guess I will do without one for now"
What a shit box 😅
Parts car
That’s a full resto IMO. Still some decent deals out there, just gotta beat the resellers to them lol
theres been alot of 4cly cars around me for around 800-1000 running and driving in better condition than that lol
If the body was just faded and had no signs of a past accident and filler that would be a really good project cat
You should make a video on your thoughts about how these cars got in bad shape
Yeah when u drove down the road I thought that ole boy should have charged more
Men you have to go to Puerto Rico you still get good foxs for 6k
Did you adjust the lifters, or do anything to eliminate the valve train noise?
I will stick with my 06 GT with 345k miles on it.
Think it was ecu or ecu ground?
Almost a 100,000 subs……!!!!! WOW!!!
