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

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
