93toNV Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Well, I just got my income tax back and im deciding to do the responsible thing with it. So I decided to buy another car. I have around 2500-3000 to play with here. Does ANYONE know where I may be able to find a Foxbody 5.0 that runs good and looks halfway decent for that kind of money? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Dave1647545494 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 if you can come up with 4500 you can buy mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93toNV Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Wish I could bro, but after paying off other bills thats all I have left. Everything on craigslist is either junk or too far away, and the mustang specific sites are all either too far away or they want a boatload of $$ for them. Im running outta ideas here. Finding them at a decent price and not ragged out is alot harder then it was 2 years ago. Guess I shoulda kept mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 look on autotrader and search west and south out of the rustbelt you can find deals sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEMAN1647545504 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 It will take you a while to find one that cheap and look good. The ones I have seen on CL for $3000 are beat up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93toNV Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Well I dont mind a little work here and there, like paint/body work, minor engine work, I dont want a 4banger because I want the 5.0 for spring/summer cruisin and I cant track down a drivtrain and have it bolted up ready to go in that amount of time. Im not lookin for perfection. I KNOW that they can be had in the price range im in. Alot of the ones I tried to go after were already sold or someone was there looking at it. I just keep callin too late I guess...I'll just be patient...they're out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
