What's a 4 Cylinder Foxbody Mustang Worth in 2022? - TIPS04E103

So I just picked up this 1993 Foxbody Coupe. White on ALL blue interior (yes I love it). I paid just over $5k for it and it was a roller. Mind you all the v8 stuff was already there for the most part so I think I got a good deal. What do you guys think?

I have one, non roller. Running and driving good, has a little rust on the panel behind the driver rear tire other than that car is clean as can be. Still has paint from the factory underneath. Interior clean besides the driver seat has a rip and people said i was dumb for wanting 2.5k

[@MrMl1986]

It’s a super clean, solid car. I swapped my 4 cylinder auto to a 5.0 five speed and I love it. If you do it right, who cares! 👍🏻

[@louisbrantmeyer385]

Keep it a 4 cylinder. Put the latest EcoBoost 4 cylinder turbo in it!!!!!

[@markweber7275]

My son found a notch 4 cylinder car in Chicago 2 years ago for my retirement project. Had 916 miles on it all tags, perfect body. Family just wanted the car gone only drove car to get oil changes and EPA checks. My wife was amazed it still had new car smell. Swapped in a 5.0 with a Pony Down turbo and built AOD. Would like to share photos with you if interested for your channel and viewers. Send message on my Facebook page. We just got lucky

[@jon-uc8th]

Awesome find. I'm doing a 90 lx right now. Would love to see a detailed on what's needed for the 4cyl to v8 swap. wiring harness, fuel system, computer. All the things to just get it going for a fun driver.

[@chaunceygore2741]

I did mine 6 years ago and I still have it. The easiest way to swap it is to find a donor car. Because they’re small parts that’s nearly impossible to find.

[@RRRx4690]

In my opinion that’s a great great deal... 4 cly cars is what you want because a lot of the v8 cars is ragged on and the body are twisted or twinked, 4 cly cars are real straight body’s .... as special buying a notch car..... Any Fox body that is clean is the one you just bought is worth to me if I had to buy 7000 ...... Don’t forget all of the v8 swapped stuff in the car already.....

[@Foxbodystanghead]

Not bad I paid 6k for a running 1993 4cylinder reef blue coupe with 5 lug cobra set up

[@MrDillon2029]

That’s a good deal

[@williamtauriello1581]

Just bought a 2.3 Fox convertible for $2k. Put a new fuel pump in it, cleaned it up, and it’s on the road. Had 2 prior 5.0 convertibles years ago. This one’s a keeper. And yes, a turbo’s going in later this year.

[@merrellroper2200]

As a man doing a 4 cyl swap now I would say you aren’t doing bad at all. Just the money in the 5 lug swap / 8.8 rear end 5 lug axles the gear subframe connectors and odd and end parts that came with the car you did good. I paid 5500 for a 92 calypso notch that didn’t have as much aftermarket stuff just a few resto parts but the interior was clean paint was pretty good and it was garage kept.

[@Seaparked]

I just bought a 93 LX 4cyl pretty clean for Canada. Paid 3k. All OG drove it home. Everyone says I over paid.... I unno. I love the car, and it's a great project for me and the kiddos

[@sendit9946]

That's a super clean coupe. Pinch welds and undercarriage are in great shape. No rust. Interior looks decent. Body panels match with no noticeable dents/collision issues. Plus, you got some upgraded extra bolt-ons and V8 conversion stuff with it to give you a headstart with your build. Not a bad investment. Best of luck with your build/investment.

[@caitijakewhitfield559]

your video inspired me again.. yesterday we got a 93 1 owner LX notch w/ documented 53k original miles and CA car since new. it’s even a runner w/ ice cold AC. back in 2016 we also got a 93 LX hatch (1 owner / low mile pristine CA 2.3 / auto - now 5.0 5 speed) they are both 2x of the cleanest Fox’s i’ve ever seen, and obviously never beat on or abused.

[@TheInfamousProject]

That's awesome! Congrats on the find

[@fitfogey]

I believe your comment about clean older mustangs staying hot in the next 5 years is accurate but I don’t believe it just applies to mustangs. I think late 80s and 90s cars will stay/become hot regardless. Cars have become way too big, way too heavy, and way to teched out. Cars barely need us any more. I want a car that needs me. That era of cars needs you. The tough part is finding a clean one that is decades old. This mustang was a good find and purchase.

[@coldstne1]

Absolutely good deal! I paid 6500 for my notch about 11yrs ago. It was a 4 banger stanger as well and the previous owner did a full 5.0 swap. He didn’t do too good of a paint job though, there’s overspray on the vin stickers. I can overlook that, all of the panels are original and never been hit.

[@kb01663]

In 2016 my fox 5.0 aod coupe was bought for me as a high school graduation present for $3500. AZ car whole life zero rust, no accidents. Dude the next investment car is definitely gonna be the new edge mustangs, they're relatively cheap (same price foxes went for 10 years ago), and are better looking than the 94-98 mustangs. Just wait stock GT new edge coupes will be going for 15k in 10 years

[@paulhudgins5120]

Wow what a pickup Chris, the body looks in great shape, mostly clean interior, a little pricey but you know what the market is getting for rust free foxbodys.

[@2camsam]

I have 2 4 cylinder swapped coupes. One with a 410 Windsor the other a mild 306 in it. Both are 83's, Just like you said hard to find clean fox bodies period.

[@dennis17116]

Straight, clean no rust. Easy 8-10k right now.

[@adamn5821]

I wouldn't pay it as I don't know enough on how to convert it to a 5.0. But it is worth what someone will pay for it. You said there were multiple people willing to pay what he wanted for it so it is clearly worth it. You will be able to make money on it once you have it converted to 5.0.

[@55naudet]

Great video! Very informative. I have also been thinking that 4 cyl are the potential of 5.0 progression. Well at least for people like me that perhaps have more of a limited budget for purchasing cars. Thanks TIPS...keep them vids coming! Merry Christmaa!!!

My dad still has his 87' 5.0 Blue exterior, interior. When I make it back to Ottawa I will take pics.. All Original.. Blue interior....:)

[@automotiveaddiction428]

For me a car value is based on how bad you want it and what you plan to do with it...from this side that is a clean car.i buy junk and fix it up..but never over pay on a project..it could end up costing more then just buying a finished car.

[@simcoecountygearheads]

[@jvogler_art4708]

A kind of understated swap for the Lima is a 2.3 ecoboost swap. Can make 300hp all day and has even more potential for power. Tons of them out there, pretty complex engine tho. I’m thinking of doing it to an i6 4 eye fox I’m gonna buy from a family member next year.

Super clean with a lot of extra goodies,its getting harder to find any clean foxbodies here in Florida

Just bought a non-running fully swapped 4cyl coupe in San Antonio for 6k. 93 rust free as well. Id say you paid market value for a rust free coupe.

[@royenri01]

That's definitely worth it. You got a great deal. Considering you have the know how and the parts car to swap over all the missing parts/drivetrain, it'll be a nice ride. It has some nice parts already installed.

It has almost 500.000 miles on it and mostly original i just recent got a radiator cause for 8 yrs it had pinholes in old radiator . Its all original ac still runs good with old freon i have one can left then not sure if to switch to 34 . Its a great car although its a 4 cycliner but has 8 plugs n 2 distributors . I guess that ex pony power .it surprises that men folks arent fimiliar with this engine .they think i dont know shit but i lift the hood and surprise they are.its the same engine they put in ford ranger trucks.

[@elliottbutts153]

I agree with the rust free statement. Heck look at all the cloned cars at Barrett or Mecum. A super clean muscle car that had a 6cyl or smaller V8 but now swapped with a V8 or more desirable power plant still goes for big money.

[@henryoddsball2164]

Good buy! I like 4 cyl cars since the torque boxes are usually still solid and they typically aren’t cut up. The problem in my area is that most were driven, therefore they’re rusty. But in the south they’re great

[@louisbrantmeyer385]

Only challenge I find with the 91-93 4 Cylinder is the Air Bag module where the internal module fuse goes bad and you can’t replace it without replacing that module.

I'd say you did good......fairly clean and already had some needed stuff done!!

[@michaelmayer8618]

Me personally I don’t see why it matters if it’s a four-cylinder or 5.0 originally. as long as it’s in good condition it’s still a foxbody and that’s what matters.There’s really not much difference between a V8 and a four-cylinder car at least that I know of. The spindles and struts are a little different because if you put v8 spindles or do a five lug swap with sn95 you can’t use the four-cylinder struts you have to buy V-8 struts. Mknow the fuel lines are ran a little different, and I know the brake lines ran a little different. oh, and it comes with a 7.5 rear end instead of the 88 which 99.9% of the people who buy fox body is going to change all of that anyways more than likely it’ll end up with a tubular member of five lug swap brand, new fuel lines from front rear and 8.8 or in subframe connectors and stuff like that that really don’t matter if it’s a V8 or fender and then you got the same damn car. i’m sure they’ll be people who disagree with me but that’s just my opinion and I think it’s pretty accurate honestly

[@bluecollarfox916]

It’s nice. I actually struggled selling my 5.0 notch. Ppl beat me up and didn’t show up to see it. I ended up selling a freshly painted notch with a new 347 for $7k. I wasn’t happy
