I've been pushing to get this thing out of my driveway since it moved into my driveway. I feared that it may never happen but I got a ray of hope tonight when my girlfriend asked if there would be any money in parting it out. It is her first car, but it is a rusty ass fox body that would require way too much time and effort to save when there are eleventy trillion other fox bodies around in better shape.
It does run and drive fine, but has issues, like one window not really staying up. As far as extent of rust, the doors are pretty much gone. The quarters are pretty rusty, the right front fender is damaged from the previous owner and her dad tried a terrible fix that really only made things worse as it has this shit on the front fascia that otherwise would be good. The left front fender might be good, the hatch I think is ok too. The floor looks horrible underneath, completely rust but no holes. I think it is pretty much stock aside from a Holley 4 barrel and 3.55 gears...in a 7.5 because it's an 85.
Am I right in assuming that this car is worth basically nothing as complete running driving car?
What are fox body parts worth? Stock 85 5.0 engine? T-5 and King Cobra clutch? 7.5 with a 3.55 gear in it? Set of nice Pony wheels, probably the most desirable part of the car? Would it be worth the time to part it out?
I don't see this as being imminent, but I'm all about pushing the conversation along.
