Default Cheapest worthwhile foxbody?

Im looking for a cheapo foxbody in my area to make into my racing car, my sn95 is too mint to modify (also its an AOD vert)

how much would your average foxbody with 130k+ miles on it, in decent condition, interior can be ****ty, few dents is fine, but about how much do they usually go for?

Ive seen as low as $500, for a rough body but running 5.0 to as much as $10k +, its all in the luck of the draw.

PS: 79-82 models are the lightest.

IF youre going all out drag mighta s well get a C-4, theyre cheaper to build than AOD's. The c-4 has only one set of planetaries where as the AOD has 2.

i got my 86 notch, witha 92 engine and a c-4 tranny, with 2 carbs, torque converter, some extra pipes, and an extra 302 block, for only 600, all it needs it electrical parts such as alternator, and coil, and ignition box, and it will be up and running
