It's unbelievable what you can get these days. I saw an 8 second Outlaw car go for $16K not long ago. It cost over $100K to build one of those.

I will be looking at the car this Friday. If by chance we do make a deal, the engine would be getting pulled, built, and put into something more to my liking. There are all kinds of Mustang rollers available these days.
Dropping the top is major affair, and they always leak. Always.

When I say "build" the engine, I mean swap out the heads, cam, probably the intake, and add some kind of forced induction; the internals are forged and good to go. How much would it cost to build a Boss or Dart based engine comparable to what this one is? Ford Racing sells a Boss based 302 kit for around $2700 that still needs to be machined and assembled, plus the cost of the rest of the parts to finish the build. I really don't see how it would be easier or cheaper to build one outright.
No, it is not an OEM block. It is a Boss based crate engine. The last time I checked, Boss or Dart blocks weren't that cheap. Sure, Corral has a few 4 bolt blocks for sale, but most of them need machine work, plus the rotating assembly, plus everything else.
Meh, those creeks and stuff add character. lol. You think people who own mustang's older then foxes don't have the same? If it was a DD then no, But for a weekend toy? Why the hell not? More and more people these days want clean examples of foxes, not so much SN cars. Their value is ever so slightly rising. You'd (in most cases) fetch more for the fox in a sale then an SN.
