1 year later the market has gone up a LOT. A car like this looks typically listed for 8-9K today.

[@guys2nv]

Pretty awesome seeing an OG Mustang/ Magazine guy like Evan doing a KZbin channel. $4700 is certainly a good deal for that car. In the Northeast people would be asking 7-8k no doubt.

[@ryandaly9831]

I have a 1987 LX Hatch Mustang, it is absolutely mint condition. It was bought brand new by an old lady and when she passed away her son built it up a bit and I bought it off him. It still had the original spare tire, jack and everything lol.

[@chucksgarage7165]

That tee in the heater hose looks like an old Preston flush kit that you connect a water hose to for flushing the cooling system.

[@boostedsaleen6146]

Solid car at 4700

[@jpp9846]

Hell yeah it's worth $5500, it's definitely worth $4700. Great buy. I'm looking forward to the Fox content👍

[@canadianclassics]

J PP agreed gotta love the foxbodys I’m looking at buying one right now for my channel but it’s an automatic

[@kaloboriley9713]

I would kill to find a car like that for that price. I've been looking for months.

[@kimcokevin]

I would have paid that, looks pretty good for a 30 year old car. Just detail stuff, nothing major.

[@ShinyKnife]

I sold my 1990 LX 5.0 for $2500 but it was a salvage title and a little rougher than this one. Ran perfect tho, and didn’t smoke like this one either

[@pawns2prizes]

It's an honest car. I'd take it if the price is right. Well i figured y'all was going to buy it. Gratz and i can't wait to see more. 🤘

[@cb2536]

On my last trip to Disney I bought a 94 GT 5spd for $1,400 that was on Craigslist. I changed the oil and drove it home 600 miles. I miss my days of getting clean SSP coupes for $2,000.

[@b.s.adventures9421]

The prices have got outta hand. Most I ever paid was a grand back in the day. Have Had 7 of em. 4500 is fair.

[@dboone9781]

The prices have been skyrocketing.

[@morganblack3555]

If it’s a 160 speedo then it’s out of an SSP and isn’t the original.

[@emeyer6963]

Center armrest was an add-on also.Nice car though.Has held up well for being 30 years old

[@anthonylaudano9751]

My vibrant red 93 cobra is just going up in value fast

[@busslayer4790]

This is a nice change of pace for your channel. I'm excited to follow along. I hope to see some modern performance improvements in addition to the resto stuff.

[@jeffchan9176]

A steal at any price under 10g. When I see guys fixing floors and fixing the body, seems like such a waste compared to cars as solid as that. No rust equals potential for anything.

[@mikegager]

sounds like a great deal!

[@RealTime612]

Beautiful video! Coooooool car! Thanks for documenting this.

[@jcnpresser]

Paid 5200 for an 88 gt in 2000 with 118000 miles, pretty clean stock car with turbo mufflers. I’d say you got a good deal, just seen a 91 gt on Craigslist for 12,500 that was bone stock really clean.

[@emeyer6963]

Paid $13750 for my 1988 back when new in 1988.Miss that car!

[@jcnpresser]

E Meyer miss mine too!

[@fernandochaves9665]

Great car, sexier than any modern vehicle. 4:04... Yes.

[@djdev3077]

I laugh at people who say foxes are only worth 3 grand and so forth,a stock car with no rust is worth 8 grand easy,compared what it would cost to fix a fox with a rusted doors and floors or strut towers

[@VacFink]

Agree 100% the exposed tailpipes and visible rubber at the bottom of the fenders make it look the part, all business.

Damnit !!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to hear some of the offers he got.

Here in the Midwest that car is worth 6k all day espesially how clean it is. 4700$ is a great deal I would have bought it in a heart beat. I'm jealous what a great buy.

Damn good deal at $4700. I would have gave him what he was asking if he didn't want to budge.

Great price @ $4700 and a really clean car. Lots of extra parts for that price.

Great price but a year later, prices have gone off the wall

But y'all got the cash it's cool you didn't beat him up on it!

[@05gtdriver]

Charcoal grey 5.0L '90 LX in better than average shape? Here in CA, $4,700 is a bargain considering it's honest condition. Yes, east coast cars are much more crusty due to the stuff used to clear out snowfall and also the moisture throughout the majority of the year, but many times the cars have lower mileage and the soft trim parts aren't baked to death, so there's a trade-off between where a car is purchased. That car is easily a $7000-$8000 car out west.

[@revanevan]

Great input, thanks for watching.

[@VacFink]

Agree, even here out in CO a 4-5k car is in pretty rough shape and more rarely running. No rust but plenty of abuse. It doesn't help that people from east and west are shopping in my area for the same cars because we don't salt the roads. I was VERY luck to buy my mostly original LX Hatch in NM for 4k about 2 years ago, nice enough that I'm hesitant to mod it over restore, so I shop for other cars I can mod and they generally cost more and are need a lot more work. Today it would bring 6k and not last a day.

[@GasserNorm]

Nice score for that price.

[@nof-bdybs6948]

That car is absurdly stock. 5.0s rarely make it this long, and stay that stock, or unwrecked beyond repair.

[@k5wxp22]

Cool video! All the stock stuff is fun to see. No dizzy cover though... still have mine. 😆 Any timeline for updates on this sweetheart of an LX?

[@RangerDanger074x4]

I’d buy it for 4,700!!! I’m working and saving up my money right now and hope to find one like this in CA!

[@russellbroadwell]

Looking forward to the track videos! I hope the through out bearing / transmission issues are an easy fix. I have be burned before buying a car that I could not test drive. It had all the problems the PO said and more.

[@kindercarcaredetailing4768]

Hey guys just checking to see if I've missed anything but where's the content of everything else you were going to do the videos on?

[@anthonya.1958]

looks like palm coast florida... hrm....

[@mikemarks1834]

That car went for a cheap for $4700 where I’m from in Philadelphia New Jersey New York that car is all day long doing 8500

[@seanmc8340]

I think I heard you say at 5,000 dollars anyone can afford a car like this? I think that is one of the reasons more people don't save these cars because of the prices being drivin up by comments like that these cars are still dime a dozen and need everything as you mentioned

[@darrincarter8350]

Evan. I’m a big fan of the 87-89 cars. Don’t like the airbag & no tilt. Nice car though. Typical used 5.0 foxbody. Did you check the torqueboxes? I’ll offer him $4000 no more than 4500.

[@revanevan]

Darrin, thanks for watching, Yes, the torque boxes looked great.

[@darrincarter8350]

REVan Evan... Bolt on 11 sec Mustang. It can be done Evan. Just got back to your stock eliminator days. I have all those MM&FF issues from 1994 til 2015 maybe. My fox is parked right now. I miss those days. When get a chance Evan. Goggle Darrin Carter 5.0 Mustang magazine. You’ll see the 4 eyed Purestreet car.

[@canadianclassics]

I’d say it’s a pretty good deal if the torque boxes are good and you can get it for $4,000 ik I’d add it to my collection for my channel if you could get the price down

[@jpat99]

You guys spent that long picking apart a $5500 30yr old car that has all original vin tags (not stickers). Not too mention 5 lug axles, aluminum drive shaft, spare motor and hood.

[@wearewrecks4719]

We just bought 88 lx with no option all stock for 3500 so that one is well worth 4700

[@mw2guy999]

really glad i seen this. im buying a 91 gt tomorrow believe it or not. having to drive over 3 hours 1 way to bring it back. Hes asking about 3800, but i know its definitely not as nice as this one. at least now i know where to start. In my honest opinion this example is extremely nice and has me worried about what ill see tomorrow. but in the end ill see. Biggest gripe by far is that its an auto....

[@mw2guy999]

I purchased it. Being in the east coast 90% of cars are rust buckets.... ill say this. the interior needs some work BUT i got a 302 motor spare, a t5 and a driveshaft, 2 flawless spare doors (not for replacing the original doors but to use as parts for things like mirrors and trim with perfect inside door panels), 2 brand new spare oem headlights, a new in box shifter assembly. I had low expectations but when i say this was a virgin gem ... IT WAS. not a spec of rust anywhere under or even on the shock towers, only the rear end which is cast iron? didn't know that. Also no mods at all. its bone stock minus blue fogs and an egr delete..... BESIDES THAT, EXTREMELY HAPPY. Outer paint is a bit rough and interior needs work but besides that. its a perfect foundation.

[@rondyechannel1399]

I ended up buying a 90 with an AOD. It really sucked because it would not hold in gear, and it would always downshift overdrive at full throttle. First gear went to the moon, it was so slow out of the hole. I changed the gearing to 4.10 and with the .68 overdrive, it was perfect. Next a PA valve body lets you shift gear by gear and will allow full throttle overdrive. Completely transformed the car. So the T5 and clutch assy. will go on another project.

[@abetango]

Stay tuned....The interesting things you find out about a car when you get it home.

[@stonemichaels1774]

Is that an SSP? I've only seen the 160 mph speedometer in the SSP Mustangs.
