Your "AVERAGE" Foxbody in 2023 - What does it look like and how much should you invest in one?

New mini-project at the shop and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to discuss the average Foxbody market in 2023 and what you should expect to find and buy. Most importantly, how much should you invest into one!

Lol

Zero chance of buying a car like that for 5 grand. ZERO

[@brianpulaski5396]

I agree. Rust and rot free, running and driving fox… up in the Northeast you aren’t touching that for $5000. If I had a guess this car would be $10k ish up here.

[@mistersecret88]

@@brianpulaski5396 yep 10k

[@adamrushka8096]

Agreed.thats a 10k car easy in CT

[@lowsoydium3194]

I'll give him 5500 right now. 500 over "market"

[@Hammerback972]

5 grand wont touch that car in my area. 10k easy. There are foxbodys on marketplace with a beat to hell body (not as nice as the shitbox fox) an old carbed engine that doesnt run for 5k. If i could get that white car for 5 grand id buy 2

[@bobevans3209]

Man, this made me feel pretty good about the 92 I bought last April. $5k, bone stock, 1 owner, and in great shape!

THANK YOU! People are over pricing these beautiful cars! Us FOX lovers appreciate these cars. He is exactly correct. When you buy theese cars to make them good, it cost 20 g and more. So consider all this

[@edwardautrey3671]

Hard to believe the last year of fox production was 30 years ago 😢

[@brianhansen2082]

The metal plate is to add support to the fire wall. Some end up flexing in that area from the clutch pedal

[@lr7993]

Always appreciate your info and work. Thanks for coming thru with the videos 😎

[@jeffreychico6968]

You can't buy that car for $5000 in Texas anywhere. My Guess, would be around $8k to $10K ballpark. The fox prices are still very high. Motor starts leaking, blown head gaskets, second gear on trans goes out. All of a sudden, it's torn apart and your doing a restoration. They are more than likely a money pit, you just can't see it. Pretty much happened to my fox. Just buy a restored one, will be much cheaper in the end.

[@scottireed7747]

I bought my first one for $2,500 I got my second one for a little over that, I’ve been living in Texas my whole life, never drove over a 100 miles for one. They are out there, don’t loose hope, or faith or whatever, but by all means, never get in a hurry for one, gonna have to take a big lone if you’re in a pinch, sellers can literally smell that I swear 😂

[@wyattyeary8050]

Not a popular opinion. But! Pays to be a mechanic.

[@1fastford795]

Just got a 92 gt vert 82,000 orginal miles needed a fuel tank and exhaust. $3500.

[@elementl1166]

A lot of good points from someone who’s been in the fox mustang game for 30 years. I just picked up a very similar white ‘91 GT for $5k a couple months ago. Didn’t have the 5 lug swap but similar mods and a little rust nothing too bad but a pile of brand new parts came with it. Also agree on NPD. I give LMR and CJ Pony lots of business but some parts are significantly less expensive at NPD.

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

Love your passion and knowledge of these vehicles

[@Tumofox91]

Love this guys videos but it’s in his best interest to keep project type cars cheap so he can buy low sell high. Truth is, Fox’s are iconic classics and the prices will continue to rise.

[@dannysublett1014]

My pinch welds were exactly the same as that one. Took me over an hour to pull them out. Still not perfect but getting there. You are right about the "hidden treasures ". I'm still finding them

[@JimmyJamesJ]

Fox mustang bodies were painted with heat cured paint. Plastic bumpers and mouldings went down a different paint line than metal panels as they were sprayed with chemically cured paint. All fox mustangs have different coloured bumpers and mouldings than the metal body unless they've been repainted. That's a good thing, it means they've no hidden any body damage under new paint.

[@elliottbutts153]

I’d think this would be a popular video considering this is a good example of what the majority have. A person has finally scrapped the money together to buy their Fox but number 1 priority is a rust free car. Paint not perfect but good enough to get the thumbs up from 25 feet away. Slowly spend money and work on the car to make it better. But your so excited to actually have a car and can drive it 👍🏻. Look forward to the “mini series “ Chris.

[@DjDestinyChicago]

I wish I could find one like that in Chicago for $5,500! They’re either flawless for $30K or rotted out for $3K

[@axm203]

I’d be content with a healthy driver like that for $5500. No rust and I’m good to go. No cosmetic repairs for me, every penny towards performance. Just have fun!

Great video Chris. Loved your take on the market and having a car to respresent/demonstrate an average car. Lookin forward to the shitbox and elite videos too. Glad to know my car is well above average based on this one! One thing I gotta say is my anxiety was going off watching you run that car in an enclosed space! LOL 😂

Yeah… your right about those junk door lock actuators from LMR… I went through 4 of them… I thought something was wrong with my door until I seen that you have had the same problem… not the first time you have mentioned it…lol

[@jasonthompson8479]

The sunglasses were fine, they compliment the hat, seriously I heard about this on the pod, not problem, it's the content, I will wait for the elite and shitbox version. I am interested in seeing those NPD headlights out of the box and installed since I am in the market for a set in the spring.

[@Fishbowl5.0]

Doing gods work, ridding the earth of one piece headlights 🙏😂

[@jpp9846]

In the end, it's only worth what someone's willing to pay. You are a collector of these cars, so what "you" would pay for it is very different from the average Joe. But it's good you throw your opinion in the ring on this subject. Mine isn't for sale, but there is a number in my head (whether or not someone would pay it) that I'd part with it for. But I won't advertise said number either, she isn't for sale

[@williamkadel400]

I’m saving my money and one day I hope you buy one from you! I love what your doing homie I’m 30 and growing up my brother had probably 10 different cars and I’ve seen a lot of them around but the price is crazy on them and there not up to what I think they are asking but in my eyes all ur cars a 100% up to Standards and I would die to owning one of ur cars in my dreams lol but I promise give me 5 years and I will have one lol I pray you are still doing this I’d die for one lol but keep up the videos I love the cars

Whenever I see a fox that isn't show room condition but looks well maintained and actually gets driven, they always impress me more then the garage queens that do nothing but sit in a corner and collect dust just so the owner can collect a quick buck once the market for them peaks. Like yeah its cool seeing a mint car an all but then again, Its just so awesome seeing others like myself actually drive these things

Great topic and explanation! Will definitely help those just getting into the Foxbody game!

[@SerfatyProductions]

I recently bought a fox in canada for $5500 CAD about $4000 US. It was dark like you said so many little imperfections I had missed. It's not so easy to find them here in running driving condition. Stock original motor aside from cold air intake and custom exhaust. Interior fully converted to black leather looks better inside than on the outside. Body needs work but he threw in spare fenders and a clean hatch because my rear wheel arches and hatch are rusting. Rear bumper is cracked but he also threw in a clean bumper. It runs and drives very healthy motor and transmission. ROH wheels and brand new BFG tires. I'd say given the market I feel like I still got a good price. I talked him down from $7500 CAD. That said I do see why I got the price I did. I bought it as a project so it's the name of the game.

[@SerfatyProductions]

Note: It's in a condition I can enjoy right away at the very least. It will evolve like all projects should.

[@zyrabell69]

Good information Chris, I hope we'll finally get to talk on the phone.

[@robturner7853]

Nailed it, I bought "3" b4 the prices went stupid!!! 1 for parts / sell & use on the 85 coupe I bought to keep & build and the other was such a nice car at a great price to clean up and sell!! Prices are Def coming down here in Virginia / east coast yet some are still way up.

[@The_Bears_Tracks]

In Toronto area rusted out high mileage running parts cars go for 3500-4000 depending year, mass air higher. I think at the moment the low end of running not rotted out is around 7-8k.

The doors close nice, better than what I adopted 😂

Great vid. Very informative! 😀. I am an orginal owner of a 1990 Mustang LX. (4 Cylinder). (I live in Vancouver, Canada.) No modifications. (Well...silly me! When I ordered it all those years ago, I asked for a sunroof to be put in. So there's that. ) Other than that it's never been in an accident or hard driven. I'm the only driver. The km. is 125,000 The odometer (99,999) has only turned over once? I've not had any problems with it, & always took pretty good care of it. As far as oil changes, etc. It's still got a lot of pick-up (whatever that may have to do with it?). The car, unfortunately, has been sitting out in the weather when parked for about 10 yrs. (I live in an apartment with no underground parking.) So there is some cosmetic problems & all dash light are out. What a pain for night driving! No real rust to speak of. Just a couple tiny spots on the window frame on the side that used to face North.) Also, the clear coat looks like it has eczema. Lol 😢 Now I'm thinking of selling my baby?🤔 What's your ballpark on what I should ask? Just to compare what I've been told by a guy in the business? I'm watching videos on Fox body Mustangs to do my research but I'd like your professional opinion? I hope I'm not being presumptuous by asking? Please? 👋😀

[@TommyT236]

Big fan of white fox bodies. Where would 4-8 swaps fall into place? Or cars that are low production colors? I switched to buying only 5.0 cars. And cars mostly from the south. A 20k car all painted and refreshed could be hiding a lot. Rather buy something that needs work bc I have parts cars and I know it was restored correctly. That car is a good starting point. I would say 7k today is fair. End of this year or next year is a different story. They are leveling off a little. The best cars to buy weather a project or complete is from someone like you. OCD. I can tell by the headlights comment. Keep the great content coming. Thanks!

[@billymanilli]

This is why I've been holding onto my "unmolested" Fox bodies and 3rd gens for a few decades, now. Eventually, they're gonna become old, scarce, and people are gonna want clean foundations for builds. edit: WHY do people put those damn ugly one piece headlights in? I know people really like that stuff... but I just don't see it! lol again edit: WOW!! I bought that same EXACT ebay cold air kit, about 20 years ago when I was putting together my 87 2.3t car! ...and those standoffs aren't the remains of an MSD ignition! ...it had a Crane Fireball HI-6 ignition. 😁

[@sbf_fox2434]

Two years ago the taillight lens fell off my 1985 GT as I drove into the Detroit area for the Woodward Dream Cruise. I noticed it was missing when I gassed up. I also recalled seeing the back of the NPD building from the highway just an exit back. I felt so lucky. How many places can you walk into and ask for a new taillight lens for a 1985 Mustang? Changed it out in the parking lot and enjoyed the cruise, not having to worry about law enforcement pulling me over. The salesman at NPD was super nice too.

[@TheInfamousProject]

Nice! That's some good luck

[@inthedougout301]

I can't snag one for $5K but I will stay patient

[@BrandonKnight-il9xs]

I used those scott drake quarter windows in mine excellent excellent! Quality, i held 1 side by side with the original and the only difference is 1 doesn't say mustang

[@9Apilot]

That plate under the clutch cable is a repair for a cracked firewall. Mine was so bad I couldn’t disengage the clutch. I was running a King Cobra clutch/ firewall adjuster and that combo was too much for a 250k mile car.

[@timcole421]

Clean rollers are 5k. I would put this 8500ish and up, the AC stuff looks all new as well.

[@Bob-Pye]

[@blackbirdfpv1981]

Spot on about mods. You can actually change it back to Orginal and get more then sell the after market parts and get some more. People want the perception it's factory when most likely not many Mustangs now a days are factory.

[@TheInfamousProject]

Then you sell them all the mods back after the fact lol

[@livelife069]

So goes the old adage "you get what you pay for."It all depends on how good of a job you want & how much you want to spend or what your budget will allow.Good luck 🤞

[@ZXDF51]

Way too much money for just a paint job. If it was body work, fixing rust/dents, high quality paint ect.... It may cost up there. With that said you don't need to pay 20k for a nice paint job. Remove all the glass, trim and strip it yourself then have it painted to save money. 👍

[@horriblydi5figured470]

You shouldn't be paying anymore than 5k for a good looking paint job imo. $20k is for paints like mystichrome and such. At the same time you get what you pay for. For example, $900 for a maco paintjob...your gonna get a $900 paint job. You could learn how to do it yourself and paint the car yourself like i plan on doing, but thats alot of work that i understand most people dont want to do

[@alejandropena9970]

Disagree with the price… put it this way, if I was to reach out to you or anyone on Facebook marketplace seeking a cobra upper and lower intake, well guess what that’s an easy $1000.. the cobra breaks, the 5 lug swap $1000 , THE BLACK INTERIOR $1,000 , the SVE wheel kit on LMR are about $1,700 … there’s your $5,000 there alone.. not only that, it’s the infamous Foxbody that everyone knows about from import to American muscle car guys… not a 5k car IN MY OPINION… nice ride 👍🏽

[@carlosnsosa99]

Went through 2 sets of those actuators and just gave up

[@95Sn95]

Foxes will never loose value there's just too much of a cult following now and there definitely getting trendy, so folks will still pay good money for average 5.0 cars cobras will always pull a premium also, once more people figure out how good the sn95s and new edges more people will just say ahh hell with it there to expensive and grab a sn95 or new edge sn95. Personally I love the early sn95s over the new edge but there both cool. I have a 95 gt vert and I feel other than the 32v cobras there the best of both worlds they have the beloved real 5.0 but the improved fox chassis and I just love the looks of a sn95 with a nice set of wheels that is factory rollers and those big ol rear wheelwells they look pretty goofie. I have 18x9 cobra (replicas) with 265/30r18 tires with 1.5" rear spacers and 1" in the front. Other than a ripping deal I would not bother with a 2v 4.6 I think there not worth it there expensive for even a small gain in performance and the price of a serious build easily exceeds a coyote, now 32v 4.6 cobras are just super cool and hopefully I can snag one before there price soars and they will, a 6 to $7k one a year ago is over $10k now...

[@Acesnickvlc]

It’s only worth what someone is willing to pay. People are smoking crack asking these prices for a 15 second car.
