There are many differences in the years of foxes. 79-86 are the ugly ones for starters.

I didn't relize that motors had mileage limits that once they get to a certian mileage then game over. A 20 year old car with 100,000 miles went around 5,000 miles a year that is baby mileage really. plenty of 4 y/o cars with that mileage and plenty of motors with way less than 100,000 that have seen poor maintenance that run hoorible. It really comes down to the motor itself, I would think that before doing a major mod like that one check the state of the motor. My car has 109,000 has perfect compression, oil pressure well within spec, runs at perfect water temp on hot days in traffic and idles nice and smooth and doesn't leak a drop of oil. I would throw a supercharger on it w/o a problem if I was in the market. mileage is a number, just has easy to have a hurt 40,000 mile motor.

Just so I understand here. You are going to build a motor around the blower? shouldn't be to hard. Motors are electric, Engines run on gasoline.
No **** Sherlock, common terminology. I hope you feel superior with your semantics.
you know how you guys say "when you see it, you will know"
well i think i found it...

That looks pretty clean for the price. I'd definitely go check it out before you buy. There can be lots of issues hidden in these cars.
Here's a good thread over at allfordmustangs to check out. It covers pretty much everything you need to look out for when buying a fox
What to look for when buying an used Fox Mustang - Ford Mustang Forums
Good luck, it looks like a good buy from the pics

From what I can see, if you are looking to make this perfect the paint will need redone. It is inconsistent at best. Rear bumper is down past paint. The gas door needs replaced or fixed. The rear windows molding will need repaired or replaced, and the door window trim on the exterior is missing. The carpet is done and the seats can hopefully be cleaned. All in all, this can be done cheap and the body appears to be straight! Not a bad buy, but the running gear would make or break it for me. Good luck

No they're straight forward. They buy low low low and sell for reasonable enough prices, they'll definitely haggle too.
For comparison, here's a local GT:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...id=p5197.m7&item=110778781362#ht_30724wt_1167
For the record they are advertising it for an asinine $8400+ on their site (LOL) and I emailed to find out the reserve and it's $6000 (LOL)...so even if you pay $3600 for that car I'd say that isn't bad, but I bet you can get it down. I would jump on it, it probably won't be there too long.
