It is a hard call...with all the little extas, like 4 wheel disk, 5 lugs, new paint, good heads, cam,convered to MAF(but looks like the stock crap)and being a clean looking notch could be worth that to someone. I have way over that into my car and I still have stock brakes, stock heads, cam and I am due for paint. I just know if you were to buy a lesser caryou would eventually buy those parts and pay more in the end. I think it looks pretty sweet and I would be willing to pay a little extra for it.(maybe $6,500 or so)

Ya the molding looks bad, and the paint does not look amazing, but it is still a pretty clean car. Also I have always had a thing for 4 eye notch's hah.

BTW thats a nice lookin fox.
