This car should stand as an example of what Not to do with your car.

It's amazing how easy it is to look at a car and tell what race drives it.

Its a foxstang, nothing of value was lost .

on a serious note, a little of taking the crap off, and replacing it with new bumpers, headlights and grill, and some proper wheels, this is a salvageable car.

Nobody wants to spend $9k on a salvage V6.

Assuming it's never been in an accident and the power/drive train is in decent shape, I'd value the car at maybe $2-3k. Everything needs to be undone including the headlights. God knows what he might have done to the interior. The only thing this car has going for it is that it's a new-edge car.

Asians can spell. This kid is Hispanic and is an obvious victim of the "standardized testing" performed in Texas public schools, where they teach to that test instead of the way it was done when I was in school (back in the 60's/early 70's). I also have recently found out that he drives the car to car meets on the south side of town, and while everyone laughed at his car, his girlfriend is evidently extremely hot (which is no excuse for what he did to the car, AND brings her overall taste in anything into question).

I'd rather have a "foxstang" as you put it than any mustang made after '05. Like I said it's an example of what not to do to your car.

Yeah, they make a little more power, but I don't like the way they look near as much. And they're 3v's I'd rather have a 4v.

good news.. they made alot fo 4 valve motors over the years. The new 5.0 in the 2011 and new cars.

the fox stangs were only 2 valve.

This guy, personally I'd rather have a 6v for maximum flow.

What's that(this guy) supposed to mean? I don't like the body style '05 to now and I'd rather have a 4v in a new edge than a newer 'stang with a 3v.

Kind of irrelevant comment anyway since the car that this thread is about is not a fox body mustang.
