Suggestions needed: Here are some possible trades for my 89 fox.

Been kicking around the idea of trading my car, here are the offers I have gotten. Which one do you like?

Here is the first: 1980 Firebird. 327 chevy engine, gears, gauges, headers and flowmasters, turbo trans am hood.

Here is option #2: 1984 Mustang Convertible. 2.3 Turbo swap, 5 speed, 3:73's, Turbo Coupe interior including dash seats, steering column and console were all swapped. Disc brake rear end from the TC as well as the ride control and ABS. 11" rotors in the front. 17" BBS rims with new tires. Pretty much everything from a TC wrapped up in a mustang.

*comes with new top*

Well in the long run the trans am would probably be worth more, even with the chevy motor. But I gotta say, I do like that mustang. I like turbo coupes, they are neat, but I wouldn't call myself a Ford guy. I'm not a fan of yellow, or brown interrior, but those are both things that can be changed easily down the road. I'm going to change the brown interrior color in my 442 as soon as fund allow. :) You already have a couple of mustangs, but maybe its time for a change? lol

Well I think I am partial to the Firebird because my 2nd car was a 79 Trans am and I loved it but I sold it for a mustang. I love the swap on the 84 though. Just something you dont see everyday.
