twistedfocus1647545489 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I'm having a hard time finding a decent shape fox in the $4500 range. I know they are getting rarer as time goes on, but there has to be something out there worth having around this price. So, has anyone here seen any decent deals on foxes lately? Craigslist is full of junk or shitty ads by shitty communicators as usual. I'd like something that runs well and needs no work. Decent interior and 5-speed a must. Rebuilt or low mile engine would be a bonus, as would upgraded driveline (trans, rear, etc) and fuel system components. No real preference b/w bodystyles (GT,LX, Coupe) though I'd prefer to stick with mass air cars and forged pistons (1989-92). As you might guess I intend to eventually go turbo. :fuckyeah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a few clean, unmolested cars on C-list that are 100-150 miles away. I may go look at a couple this weekend. Problem is I obviously want something cared for, but I don't really want to start from scratch again either. Converting a completely stock car into what I want will probably cost me more in the long run but maybe it's the only way I'll be happy. :fa: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDHG940 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Keep an eye on corral, there are a lot of cars coming and going on there too. I found my coupe on there, only issue is most people on there know what they have and want good money(which I had to pay as well for mine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Thanks guys. I'm not into the carbed route though. I found a halfway decent coupe near Cincinnati I may go look at this weekend if I don't line something else up first. I'm still looking, so by all means post up any decent ones you see.

ICEMAN1647545504 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 whats a decent notch run these days? V8 Notches can go $5k+ for a clean one, depending on mods. You can get some for less than $5k but expect some rust with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice ass roller though. Also, I have a purchase pending on a Coupe. I'm going for the test-drive tomorrow. :fuckyeah: I'm probably going to spend too much on it, but it's a really solid car. :fa: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hold out for a coupe- May have to pay 500-1000 more but IMO worth it for weight and rigidity... I will have another someday. Unless you are going to be a restoration snob and want an E-code VIN why not get a clean 4 banger coupe and swap? I spent a lot of money on my v8 car replacing everything anyway and your more likely to find a straight/not molested/intact torque box model...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Well, the search is over. I bought a car today. I probably overpaid for it but it is a solid car and has some potential. It needs some small things including a hood repaint to make it actually match. I'm not a big Powerdyne fan, so that will probably be for sale soon but I may just go have Brian tune it and leave it alone. It's rich as fuck right now at idle. I suspect the FMU is for 19lb injectors and it has 24s on it. It has been converted to MAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEMAN1647545504 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Nice coupe man. Just tune it and have fun with it. It will probably make mid 300. What did you pay for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 6500. Seller claimed 406 wheel, but has no doumentation. It does have Edelbrock heads, intake, B cam, longtubes, etc but that sounds optimistic to me. I was basically going for the solid body and fresh engine (supposedly Eagle rotating assembly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEMAN1647545504 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 It probably is close to 400. My cousins 306 with trick flow top end at 7.8 psi out of a powerdyne made 427. That's not a bad price for a clean coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
