"Its hard to pay too much for something you reeeealy like." Zig Ziglar

[@T_Ak]

It is what is foxbodys ain’t cheap no more crazy in the 90s everyone wanted gts nobody wanted coupes now coupes are hot 🥵

[@danielknepper6884]

Exactly

[@user-eh8kt7cv4j]

Years ago, I was reading an article that said the Fox body was going to be the next 57 chevy. This is 100% accurate. I ended my search for a "Nice" fox. Everyone wants $20,000 and up for a good fox. Everything I looked at under $20K has been a piece of junk that is ragged out. Any fox with little to no mods low miles will run you $30K and up. Muscle cars are just for the super-rich today. I remember when these cars were everywhere, and people were street racing the crap out of them. Now, it's an expensive car to take to a car show and park back in the garage.

[@adamn5821]

Anything is worth what someone will pay for it.

[@chetzeidler9517]

I've personally seen this car and definitely in the Unicorn discussion...fantastic condition original car...appreciate your video on it.

[@CalypsoCoyote]

I’m guessing this is Bradley’s reef blue notch with black interior low miles.

[@Kevins93cobra]

Yes. I forget which group but he posted it, and turned off the comments, for valid reasons. Someone then screenshotted it, posted that with your typical "OMG this guy is insane" type comment. Several well known names in the online fox community, including Caleb, were all arguing it's more rare than a Cobra and harder to replace. Oh course the poors were all out in large numbers posting their crack pipe gifs, etc.

[@angrygaragemechanic]

If an lx is nice these days it's worth it. Too many torn up and abused mustangs for sale.

[@doughty_performance]

When cars are sold at such a stupid and unreasonable amount such as a $60k Fox makes no sense to me. Yes the seller is trying to capitalize on his investment but also drives the market up and makes it difficult for the “average” to obtain one. I’m a GenX’er and grew up in the Fox era and also owned a few but the prices for these cars are absolutely ridiculous.

[@redefinecycles]

100% agree

[@NotchFox]

Why is it my job to make it easier for a gen-xer to buy a car he or she wants? Have you never heard of supply and demand? I guarantee you Ford is not going to lower the price of a 2024 F-150 4x4 to heal my hurt feelings!

[@doughty_performance]

@@NotchFox supply and demand? That’s obvious Business Economics 101. My point is that those cars are not worth the money they are asking. A $60k stock Fox? GTFO here 😝 So It’s a documented Notch with low miles? It’s only worth that to a collector. Not your average Fox enthusiast. If a seller can capitalize off of an insane high selling price then more power to them. Hell that’s getting close to an even more rare Grand National and you see what they’re getting for those.

[@ogsuperflygarage]

Great points Bro! Paying that much for a unicorn Fox is an investment!

[@brianspangler3771]

At foxtoberfest 2022 there was an 85 LX coupe. All original with only 840 miles. The car was never dealer prepped. The original center caps were still in the plastic bag.

[@cassellracing]

Imagine if that were a 91-93 !!

[@Kevins93cobra]

Yes that car was 99% perfect. I say 99% because it did have the dreaded front plate bracket and thus holes in the front bumper.

[@bosshog4292]

It's a lot easier to find a really clean, low mileage foxbody cobra than it is to find a really clean, low mileage coupe.

[@danielknepper6884]

Notchbacks have always been rare

[@rusttrail3]

It's hilarious how people say stuff like "they would never pay that" and it's just like you said Caleb it's worth what someone will pay and the cars are getting ever more rare no matter which one of the Fox bodies. I have a triple black 5 speed 93 vert. and yeah I know everyone hates on the verts but when I saw it everything was there all stock, factory mufflers, smog pumps, cats, air silencer boot on the distributor, etc.etc.etc. I didn't want a convertible but when I saw how well it had been cared for compared to some of the others I saw I bought it. I think sometimes people put a don't want to sell it price on it and just to see what happens and then adjusts accordingly. Whenever you sell something the cheap skates always come out of the wood work, I mean who in their right mind wouldn't sell something for as much money as possible? I should’ve added this to the original post. I bought the car 15 years ago and the guy wanted 5500 bucks which was top dollar and a bit but again the car was in really good shape compared to what others I had seen so I gave the guy $250 Deposit came back the next day and got the car. I think people immediately look at the price and then just voice their opinion without even looking to see what shape the car is and if it’s documented or whatever and then just proceed to burn the person to the ground. What I did instead of cutting them off at the knees on the price, I would just come up with some generic reason that I was gonna look at other cars or whatever and not insult the guy. The person selling the car could be sentimentally attached to the car as well making it even harder to part ways with it. Nobody needs added drama and bs to an already difficult decision.

[@user-mo9tu7wq1v]

Yea they will never pay that but go to the stealership and pay 80k for a new truck .

[@NotchFox]

Verts are not my first choice, but hell, who wouldn't love having a beautiful vert to ride in on a great fall or spring day!

[@rusttrail3]

@@NotchFox yep that's basically where I was at, it's better than the other clapped out stuff that was out there at the time.

[@Gramps83]

I prefer Bimini blue. I had a factory '92 5.0 5 speed Bimini coupe with sport cloth seats. Should've never parted it out.

[@sombra6153]

I had a 92 LX hatch in the same color. It was intact when I sold it and I’ve regretted it every time I see one.

[@DanKennedyEats]

I always wondered why ttop coupe cars aren't worth cobra money being that the production numbers are low also

[@ZXDF51]

Some nice coupes are bringing in big money. Colors have a lot to do with the values to. A reef blue black interior coupe will bring in some good money.

[@biminiblue]

A lot of truth in this video! I’m sitting on a mint 3k mile, all original (down to the tires) 92 Bimini w/ black interior. Not another one with my specs is known to exist.

[@redefinecycles]

What a waste of a car letting it sit.. lol drive it brother

[@biminiblue]

Just scooped it up! It will be driven!

[@jamesprocharged3022]

Supply and demand... pretty simple. People really like the coupes and want them. They have a dream spec and there aren't any out there to buy. The guy with this car knew what the market would bear and he was obviously right on. That money is nothing for a LOT of people, and if preserved it will only appreciate.

[@crazyhorseracing6130]

Don't matter how you try and describe it a fox will never be worth $60K. And I love these things and are my favorite cars!!! I've had probably 15 of these through the years and still have 2 right now but they will never be worth that much. People have gotten stupid with these prices and ripping everybody off!!

[@Roger-fs5yo]

I would NEVER pay that for that or one like it. You know not because I jate the car, in fact I love it. The problem with this is I'd be driving it and that's NOT good💁‍♂️ Oh, and I'd rather have a notch back 4 eyed over a 93, I'm just saying💁‍♂️

As a Reef Blue owner, this is great news!

[@yaboieatbeans7162]

Does anyone have the link to this auction?

[@StrongStacker1]

Sounds about right Caleb!

[@imperfectbeliever8127]

I'm on the poor side but you guys have to understand whats happening. The foxbodies that are left are in that price range. Just like the old mopars and 67 to 71 firebirds and camaros. What do you think war admiral and the silver dech coupe are going to sell for? Calebs car especially with that wing and the ride tech front suspension and gen 3? I wouldn't even talk to anybody for less than 60. The ksd notch. The white and blue notch on 20s. The syracuse orange coupe. The stalker vert. In my opinion are all 60 plus cars. You cant build them in today's market for less. I got 30 in mine and it will still be a shitbox. Lol.

[@CalypsoCoyote]

I’ve got a calypso notch with a gen 1 aluminator and a whole bunch of custom stuff only thing is it isn’t boosted. I wouldnt sell mine for less than $75k. Have more than that in it.

[@FireflyHill24]

In the video you mentioned undercoating. How does undercoating affect the resale price of a 80s-90s mustang.

[@Dabber422]

Big time. I don't want undercoating. My light crystal blue coupe is a Canadian striper low option model without undercoat. Undercoat is ugly. Real collectors don't want undercoating.

[@FireflyHill24]

@@Dabber422 my silver 85 GT has only 9500 miles on it. But it was undercoated when it was new and now I know what a big mistake it was. It’s also a zero option car. No air conditioning, cruise control or power windows.. just what came standard with the GT package

[@HD24680]

There is a super clean triple white 93 5.0 in Vegas on offerup. All stock. 87k miles.

[@onlyfords69]

People forget these cars got way harder to find after cash for clunkers

Definitely a notch above the rest! As a notch owner I always loved the notchbacks and would buy another one over a Cobra. I like the Cobras but I love the notchbacks.

[@jaysonescoe5799]

I paid 15k for my 93 gt one owner 92k original miles. I’d do it again

[@StandAloneAdventures]

I’ve got a 92 LX that I’ve completely restored with the exception of the original 4 cylinder engine that I still have but decided to put a 408 stroker in it instead. Not sure what it’s worth to others but it’s priceless to me so I guess it depends on the buyer and the seller as to what they decide it’s worth and both are in agreement and please with their selling and buying price.

[@Calhayhee714]

I paid high 7k for mine she was completely stock only thing it didn’t have was ac and stock cats short after the head gasket went tranny which I replaced my self. Old parts go bad especially lower intake manifolds to your cylinder heads which creates the rabbit hole I would not sell my mine for less then what I put in it.

Hey I would if it the right one btw love the channel like what your doing saving the fox one car at a time lol thanks

[@therocket280z7]

It makes sense to me, and I'm not a big fox body fan, a car like that is a car to be collected. For anyone else you can find a lesser car, for normal money, to build and drive. Even then you should be shopping an sn95 because it's a much better platform to build. Mostly because you would need to add a lot of the fox body weight savings to handle even moderate power levels, so it doesn't bend, and you essentially have to replace the whole too end with all those parts to even get close to that.

[@FosterFarmsOk]

had two fox bodies before i was 20. now none and wish the prices werent so high

[@autofox5.067]

Well I wouldnt pay it, heck I couldnt pay it! But Im glad they are getting it! Im keeping my fox period. It may not be as desirable but its the one I want. Thats what matters to me.

Considering folks wanting 15 to 20 grand around here for rolling chassis with vin plate and title. Most of the rest available have obviously been crashed.

There are still really good, solid, hatches and verts out there for less than 10 grand. Maybe even a notch. Great drivers and fun cars, if you want one, you can still find them.
