The fact of the matter is that the fox Mustang market is drying up in terms of a car in good shape at a reasonable price.  $3000 will get you a MUCH more solid T-bird/Cougar than it would a Mustang.  I've seen what people have been passing of for 3k in my area.  I've seen $600 T-birds in better shape structurally. 

That boils down partly to the intended target market of these cars when they were new.  It also boils down to the fact that one generally has to do a bit more research to get some performance out of these cars.  It's all there, just gotta dig a little.  More and more people are realizing this and the fact that these cars are lighter than a Mark VII adds to all this as well.

For those of you out there that own a fox Catbird who've held true to the car's original design and function as it came from the factory, you're dedication may soon pay off.

I was like growing members? WTF Then it clicked and was HEY YYEAH what he said. Not only on this site but at work too. Many more 83-88 birds and cougars crawling out of the wood work. Even more 89-97 style birds and coug's too. But instead of buying new they're fixing what they got or buyin/sellin person to person to maximize savings and  profit. These cars are a steal considering what you get in comparison. Now days it seems like the youth in my area are more be nice and comfy then go FAST like back in my days. Faster was much cooler than comfy cruiser now they buy BS not go fast parts like I did. That might have some impact too.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Hey I joined! lol

Still learing all about my 1st t-bird but I only gave $800 for an 88 sport coupe with 86k miles on it. You will NEVER find a mustang with those miles for $800! I have been thru many many mustangs, bought this for the same reson most of you bought yours, its different. Only thing I didnt know was there is no aftermarket support! Thats stupid! I am emailing a friend of my dads that produces cowl hoods around here to see what he can do for the market to get us some different style hoods!
