The more I look the more discouraged I get :nonono: I either get one of two catagories the car is either extremely nice and is ultra expensive or its a rat trap that looks like hell and is not wroth putting the money in to begin with. Here is what im after, i want a clean decent looking 90-93 Coupe ( although I would take a GT or hatch LX if it was what I wanted ) minimal mods if any at all milage doesnt really matter and price somewhere around 5k. I dont want one that has been beat to death, flat out abused, cut and welded back together :nonono: or any crap like that. I never though back when I bought my last fox body a 91GT that I would have this much trouble finding one I like. It was BONE STOCK 91GT automatic clean and well maintained with 100k on the clock......got it for 5k WHY CANT I FIND ONE LIKE THIS :dunno: :dunno:

Clean Fox are hard to find at a good price, there a lot of 2.3 L convert in 5.0 L, look on Ebay and take your time, but at this price it's will be not easy.

not to be harsh but good luck. i think youd be better off lookin for a clean body with no motor or something, half the mustangs in the world have been beat on

what are your intension again?? i would find one that needs work in all areas to get the price down...do what you want...and open the door up on the available cars......

dont spend big money on these cars they are worth nothing really and wont hold value over time they are what they are unless you go the 93 cobra way...truethfully its only worth what your willing to pay ...sure they were what started the muscle trend blah blah blah ...but i would say get a roller or 4 banger for the cheap...1k or so nice shape rollers go for ...spend the other 4 to build a good powerplant and you got what you want...

i have been considering getting a older 4 eye notch since there seems to be a ton availiable and making it a complete aero-nose conversion (87-93)

I posted a link to a notchback in Rick's looking for a Mustang thread. Guy wants 7500 OBO. I think the car is located in Florida. Very good looking car.

Good luck with your search though. Trying to find a clean fox body around here is tough, either its modded like crazy, beaten to death, or its straight up eaten by rust.

Damn man, we just sold a real nice one a few weeks ago. it was a 88 hatch LX. 50,000 miles one owner. My parents bought it new for a wedding present. Beautiful car, and he only sold it for 5K!
