Hello,

I've checked out the forums and didn't really find the information I was looking for. I am looking at and possibly wanting to buy a four-eyed fox. I've only looked once because my car is not sold yet but I am definitely planning on going back very soon. I haven't talked to anyone about it I just saw it and looked but it is red with a red interior, black convertible top, 5.0, 5-speed, and it is not a gt but it does say mustang glx on the left of the trunklid and someone on ebay has one and says it is RARE. I do know that whoever owns this car is asking 3K and would like to know, if given a little tlc, would be worth some more than that?? Thanks for any input!

Id say that just about any fox giving some tlc will go up in value. Some of the nicer foxes are starting to fetch higher prices already.

Hi

I was just wondering EXACTLY what year it is? In 1982 there were 5828 Coupe GLX cars made and 9926 GLX Hatch backs. I am not sure how many were convertibles. If it is a 5.0 it should have a 2 barrel carb and make 157bhp @ 4200rpm and the compression ratio should be 8.3 : 1. 1982 was the year the Mustang "made it's return" performance wise. If the car has the 'TR' package (came w/ low pro michelin tires and matching wheels) it will be worth even more. But with low production numbers, the chance of a value increase is always higher.

I just found out the convertible came back in 1983. In that case there were 23,438 total convertibles made - still not sure of how many were GLX.

They've got a ton of info on the older gt's and the like.

GLX was a trim package, but I can't remember what it consisted of. Check the link and they tell all about them....

Don't you mean the metric TRX package which tires are impossible to find for?
