For 11k you can buy a really fast fox body coupe.

18k in motor work, sounds like everything was polished to look pretty and some bolt on's, OR he had a shop do all the work and they soaked up alot of labor.
I can only imagine what 18k worth of motor work to a 5.0 could do.
to be honest a lot of it was labor.. but in the 1/8 he ran low 8's PRIOR to the engine mods.. and theres no way you can get a 5.0 coupe for under 4k now a days.. maybe a hatch.. coupes are so popular right now.. look on streetcarforums.comOriginally Posted by CopyRight
but the 18k is:
-motor work
-turn downs
-labor
-what he paid for the car
-rims&tires
-new tranmission
etc. so it's an overall price..

I've been on streetcarforums before you were driving, and I know most of the guys over there, the reason you aren't gonna get a cheap car from that site is, they know exactly the kinda money they can get out of a coupe. Everyday sellers will not and just KBB it. Did you know that GA State and Mercer purchased about 40 or so 91 Coupes to be used for security? And some are still around? Every now and then, when they hold school equipment auctions, they've sold off one or two, and they have not gone for higher than 2200.
you've shouldve specified that 18k was for the whole car, you said 18k in motor work.
for 18k, that car better be immaculate, stroked and at least have a 5-lug conversion.
and btw, you can get flowmaster turndown's at Andy's in snellville for like $100bucks. You do understand turndown's are just hacking off your pipes and putting like a 75degree elbow on it. Most people refer to it as "dumping" your exhaust, I did it to my mustang.
well sorry for not specifing.. and all of his motor work was done at Pro Speed.. and it does have a 5-lug conversion.. forgot about that.. i helped with that too lol i've slept since then..Originally Posted by CopyRight

and 90-97 is pretty broad. He doesnt care if he gets a Fox or a Sn95 bodystyle? Which would he prefer?
yeah details help..
we ahve a bunch of Mustangs....just call 770-476-2090
ill let u guys know asap... probably lookin for sumthin cheap tho... he wants to do everything himself i think?
I'll vouch for the motor work if it was done at Pro Speed..Jeff and the guys over there are some great guys and build great cars!

I got my fox coupe for 1k
haha ownage![]()
but anyways let him know that he probably wants someting like 87-98. That covers all FI foxs and all sn95's. If it were me (but its not so don't flame) I would go with a 96+ sn95. They can be had for super cheap and you can build mods for almost as cheap as pushrod motors now. And you have the advantage of the option of an aluminum block and rotating assembly. Get some PI heads and a diy turbo and youd be set 4 life..... until the tranny crapps out. But I can weld and fabricate and assume so can he. Labor charges suck.
k preciate it! bump
see preciate it.. yeah jeff did most of the work himself too..Originally Posted by buddha@TeamFX
