Default Well.. I just sold my car.

I just sold the car in my sig for $5650. Looking to get an LS1 or fox body mustang. Found this, wondering if it seemed like a good deal:

The current owner has had this car for only 15 months, that would concern me. They also say it is clean, but to me the engine is dirty. I would look at a few more cars.

I would upgrade from your formula to a formula. If you would consider and auto I would lean towards this one before the camaro. That camaro is dirty... they can't even wipe the dust off the interior.

Not too bad with the cars. I'm really trying to stay with something that is bone stock as well as a m6 though.

Why would you get a fox? I was definitely shoot for a ls1/m6 is you can afford it. You will have more power stock than a H/C/I fox plus get better mileage. Not to mention ls1 cars are 100 times nicer all around.

Yeah, this is true. I'll have to think about it. I took an ls1 car out yesterday and I guess I'm too used to my LT1's low end because it seemed slow... the speedometer said otherwise though.

look in the F/S section. There is always cars there and usually ones from members here are taken care of

Good luck finding a stock low milage fox... They are hard to come by these days. I shoped around for about 6 months looking for mine. A fox will be quite a bit cheaper, which will leave you with mod money. But its older... It just depends on what your looking for... You could take that 5650 you got for your car and buy a fox and a kenne bell and you will be in good shape ( camero what? )...

If you want an F-body, just keep looking. If you can afford to wait and travel, you'll score. I only gave $6,500 with 70,000 on the clock for my Z28.


If I ever get rid of this one, my next car will be an '89-92 notchback. Mass-air, and forged. They might make 100rwhp less, but they aren't hard to get below 3,000lbs. I see used blowers routinely going for $2,000 or less, and top end kits are pretty cheap. Plus you already have a decent 8.8 rear to start out with.

I don't think that last one's bad at all, so long as it's been well taken care of and has a clean history. You ought to be able to talk them down a little too.

the white one? or red one?

the deal with the red one is that i'd have to pay the car off for her and they'd mail the title and it was a big pain in the ***.
