Talk some sense into me... Foxbody infatuation

That fucker looks brand new. Only color that trumps it on a hatch is emerald green IMO.

I have used this guy several times. He can definately help you out. The last job he did for me was repairing the factory AM/FM cassette with 7 band graphic equalizer out of my 1991 Fox GT.

Thanks. I am going to try and find something a little closer.

Damn nice. I have only seen the color in person once. A friend in high school had one.

It is rare. I am confident it is the lowest or top 10 lowest mile lx hatch in royal blue.

Need help as my emotions are getting the best of me on a car:

91 GT, 75k miles. Exterior red and is damn near perfect in every way. Interior is a mint and I mean MINT black interior with everything present. Car is all original down to the air silencer except the battery, tires, and alternator. Car is an AOD which brings the value down but damn this car is clean and I don't mind the AOD at all. You would think this car had 30k miles and not 70k.

The price is $9k... and he seems pretty tight on it. That being said this car is nice as heck and my plan would be to keep it original and just cruise it.

Backstory:
My first real car was a fox GT 15 years ago. I married the woman who I dated all my life and through HS driving that car. I have so many great memories of my first fox that it's making it hard to say no to this car. My dad has been a factory worker his whole life and when he got his "20 year gift" of a Rolex (not DFW baller rolex), he sold it to the jeweler and bought my foxbody.

Things have happened over the years. I sold my first fox to buy my wife's ring when I joined the service. Then I sold my new edge when we moved to Okinawa. Finally sold my next fox after we moved back to the states and bought our first home.

Interested to see what you guys have to say as these don't come up locally very often at all.

Over half of all purchases are emotional

Nice find man! I want one.

[akfodysvn]

well did you get it?

Oh yeah! It is so clean on the inside. Exterior is in good shape too... very happy. Not perfect but I also didn't pay near his asking price.

I am hoping to find someone who could repair the factory radio. It is getting power and has a good ground at the radio. It will not turn on however. Previous owner said it worked up until this spring and then quit. Interestingly it came on one morning for a minute and then turned off. That was the only time.

I really like the look of the factory head unit so it would be nice if I could find a place to repair it as it's out of my skill level.





This shows the difference between the color from sun to shade... pretty cool color. 1 of 513 Royal blue LX hatches ever made. Documented 30k mile car.

why was that car at 4k RPM with no one in it?

one of the things needing repaired...

Just got a new truck. Not in a position to buy anything. That would be a dick move anyway.

Hey now don't go chasing down my car

Found the ad on the blue one. Very reasonable price on what looks to be a very clean car.

[akfodysvn]

sorry it took so long to get back. i was searching for a black interior car and he emailed me out of no where with the red lx. had no interest. the blue one looks bad ass. good luck.

No sweat. I saw him do it to one other person and I reached out to him actually. It's a nice car and can be had at a good price. For me the ziebart turned me off on it. He now said that I finally gave him the push to list it for sale instead of just putting a few feelers out there. Guy seems pretty honest about the car for anyone interested.

very nice. I dig the blue and definitely prefer the LX

I had a bright red 89 GT as a kid, and I fucking loved it... and I've had a couple flame red Dodge trucks

But I will never buy another red car unless it's a ferrari. It's one of those love/hate colors, and I think more people hate it than love it. I think it looks slick, but my troubles in selling my red vehicles has me gun-shy of buying another

Thanks. I'm going to get it Saturday and will have pics up soon in a new thread.

I know what you mean about red. I used to not be a fan but now I LOVE anything that is fire engine red...guess the job is rubbing off on me.
