Not sure what the odds are on this, but i'm driving through newark nj and i see it on a used car lot.
Turns out it's for sale by owner on cosignment at a helfty 30k.

Always liked the nose on the car and in person it looks pretty good, other than the billet grille.
Fenders and door seem to look pretty good too, but the rear, not so much, can't put my finger on what's wrong, but just doesn't look right.
Car is an auto.
Snapped a few pics with my phone, but it was cold and windy so i didn't waste too much time.

The only thing "insane" is the price.
Wheels look pretty dated, it could use some saleen wheels to match the body kit.
Tailpipes don't line up real well either.
Interior, all black with yellow piping, not the biggest fan of that either.

Love it or hate it, there it is.

We're talkin like a $5-8k car tops IMO. If its in incredible shape that is. Because lets face it, all that swap does is devalue the car. It's kind of cool but I'd say most of us would take a normal clean fox over this thing any day

I don't like this car, but i respect the work that went into making it work. For what it is, it was done really well IMO, it almost looks more like someone put the roof of a Fox onto a SN95.
 
Magazine Cover Car floating around a local car lot in Newark, that's great.
Well, I guess we should consider ourselves lucky it wasn't involved in a murder or armed robbery.

I'd say to the right buyer in it's above average condition it's worth 12k or so. What really hurts is the rear bumper fitment.

Mob, come on man, you gotta start reading the titles not just looking at the pictures, lol.
 
It's amazing because many of these Magazine cars get shuffled around to many owners. I was watching Stacy David "Gearz" on Speed Sunday AM and they got back Ted Nugent's Bronco where a year earlier they probably put $45,000 into it. He said the truck got sold like 6 times, 3 times by shops that went out of business. It's all rusted out and Stacy David installed new suspension into again. Now they're going to repaint it. Ted Nugent wants it back.

That famous Super Trooper Florida 5.0 coupe that was in every Mustang Magazine doing a wheelie promoting that shop in Orlando, stolen. There was the MM&FF project car that was stolen in front of their HQ in New Jersey. Dumped a bunch of coin into that, never finished it only to be stolen.

Sad, many of these magazine cars get sold a few times, stolen, destroyed or dismantled.
 
I think it looks like ass. Pick a style, either SN95, or a Fox. Don't combine the two. A New Edge at least would have matched the squared edges of the Fox better, though that would also look pretty bad.
