Well Im thinking about getting a fox body for a project car, that needs work but runs and I was just wondering whats a good price range for one? Is there anything to look for when purchasing one of these cars?

 

Price range depends on your budget. The bigger your budget the sweeter the ride you can afford.

 

needs works but runs...anywhere from 1k to 3k depending, if you can drop 5k on it you can get away with a really good lookin car that runs well. check out autotrader.com and put in a range from like 1k to 6k, trust my, you'll notice a vast difference between 3k and 5k

 

It really depends, what model, condition, frame condition, rust, body condition, interior condition, engine, trans, rear, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

 

I got mine in good running condition with 97k (original) with some performance upgrades (intake, exhaust and a few other parts) for $2700. It has some rust and a bunch of dings in it but thats all getting fixed now.

 

ya i bought mine fo 3500 with no dings and upgades, well maybe a ding or 2 but thats it

 

some rust isnt a bad thing as long as its not through, you will find some of these cars have them even when they look clean at first glance, but the more you can spend the better off you will be but that doesnt mean you cant snag a nice one for cheap, or one that has great potential.

 

Well I found one today was in pretty decent shape needed some work, had some pretty nice rims and tires, but it was a 4 cylinder, so I offered him 500 so we shall see you think its worth it? How hard is it to put in a 5.0 motor? And im on a really tight budget right now but if I wait It will be better. But I just want to work on one so bad.

 

Mine had holes in the lower rear 1/4's and the fenders are junk.

 

Man your is clean, like eat off of clean, compared to this one, LOL! Anyways he says he will only go down to 800 just got off the phone with him and he says that the motor has a rod know or some crap like that so dont know please help me make a decision, my basic use for this car was to learn how to drive stick clean it up and then sell it or if I get really addicted to it keep it and swap a bad boy motor in it what you think?
