look at this, u see how much he wants for it! plus it's a salvage...but never have seen a fart can on a v8...wonder how it sounds :scratch:

 

it's totally out of real value, with that amount of money you can build something better that this.

 

That car is a great piece of work. The reason for the exhaust that way is because of the pure fact it was easier to mount those instead of trying to put mufflers under the car between the 18x12" rims on the back. It could have been done, but not easily.

Look at the engine in that car. It is probably one of the baddest street fox's around. turbo'd 5.4L DOHC modular motor. Sorry but thats sweet and the car itself looks great on the outside.

Personally I would change the exhaust, but its still awesome.

 

i'm totally agree with you but i think that you can build it with less money

 

He probably has the 35k in it in all honesty.

I dont think he will get that much though

 

i made some research about the value without mods:
Private Party Value: $3,400
Retail value: $4,600

 

yea, it's been in a wreck....he wants waaay too much 4 it...even though he maybe invested that much, u never sell it for that much....i am surprised so many people r biddin on a wrecked car

 

that was in MM&FF awhile back, he had to pyut the mufflers back their due to the drag radials and the suspension. I just wouldnt use mufflers, car is worth it, makes 779rwhp if i remember correctly

 

I would pay that price, it is a 4 cam navigator motor, and everything all together built is around that price or more and u have to find a car in good shape to do that to, so in reality it is worth it

 

Could YOU build the car yourself without any help whatsoever? If so then maybe so....but the avg person under no circumstances could duplicate that car for less money.

I build cars for a living and if anyone wanted that done start to finish would be well over $35K.

And Kelly Blue Book means absolutely squat in regards to this car or any other modified car....when was the last time NADA or KBB actually compared prices of cars other than stock?....That's right, never.

 

KBB is not realistic about mustang values, they are basically useless when it comes to the fox stangs, i am not trying to offend anyone, but the books dont value the rarity of those cars, just the age and model.

 

Exactly.....I'll give 3 examples from my own experience. I have sold 3 cars for WAY more than KBB or NADA valued them at....2 Lincoln Mark VII's with a book value of less than $2,000 for nearly $10,000 and one '88 LX with a book value of maybe $3K if you consider miles on the car itself for $13K. Each car was a custom built car and heavily modded....value guides are worthless in those cases. That is why an appraisal for a specific car is helpful for both insurance and sale purposes.

 

Hey, that Mustang RUNS, it was featured in MM&FF and I have the issue. That's no joke fart can exhaust there buddy lol.

Edit: Somebody already metioned the MM & FF thing.

 

i did. the car is sick, not a fart can and not junk and the seller isnt an ididot, crazy car, i believe Jach was just mislead, so i dont mind, everyone has an opinion and set of beliefs.

 

All it needs is a shiny jet black coat of paint B)

 

i think all it needs is a new set o ftailpipes, who needs mufflers anyways?

 

heck the engine alone is worth over 15k with the turbo and fast system. and it made over 750HP on only 14lbs of boost. the guy said it can be turned up to over 30lbs of boost. and then you have the custom work to fit those huge rear wheels out back. and KBB doesnt mean poo. you have bone stock notchbacks with low miles going for more than their original sticker price.

 

oh, and salvage titles arent always bad. if a good shop does all the repairs. they can be better than factory. my 92 was stolen, and was a salvage recovery. they recovered every part for the car, just some of them had been taken off. but the car was put back together and doesnt have a single rattle or squeek. and all the parts are original. they even still have the factory id tags on all of them

 

Exactly! Salvage means nothing unless the repairs were done poorly. I have a car in the shop right now that is not going to be a salvage car and it has over $11K worth of damage. Salvage is based on whether or not the insurance company totalled the car which means that the repairs exceeded 75% of the book value. You could (and I have) find an SVO with a salvage title because the insurance company could not find a bumper cover(prior to them being reproduced) so they totalled the car.

Even an expert will not be able to tell this car has been fixed when we are done with it...everything from the firewall forward is new along with a new quarter panel. The problem is that most body shops look for the quick and easy way to make a buck...few of us in the industry still take the time to do a job right and take pride in what we do.

Here is a couple pics of the car...at the accident scene and as of 2 days ago during it's repair...it's an '03 GT with 13,000 miles on it....no salvage title because it did not total out but it has had more work done to it than many salvage title cars out there.

 

Yes, a salvage title is easily changed to a new title, they inspect it and everything must have paint or primer on it and look original.
