I don't know if they will ever escalate, but we shall see. I've always thought a good buy right now would be 94/95 Cobra in stock condition. I think they will escalated in the next 5-10 years.

Terminator cars have already started an upswing, but it's not too late to get into one without too much hurt in the wallet. I think they will be the next really hot buy, especially in stock condition.

What hurts the Terminator is that there seems to be lots of stock low mileage cars.

My ford tranny tech has his original 91 Saleen w/ 16,000 miles all original minus cat back. White with the side stripes in the trunk never installed. I've been working with him for 15yrs and only seen it at his house one time. Beautiful Mustang
That's awesome, I'd love to see some pics or if you can get the number of the car.

The fact that this car had 33K miles on and still got nearly 80K is crazy. Gotta wonder when the top is in.
Exactly.

I can't believe someone forked over that much but ....

I did put my 93 reef blue hatch on eBay for 35k. Will I get it? Likely not, but I'm not sure I really want to sell it either. Finally running out of room in the shop and that is a car I likely won't drive a lot.

The big question, when will the price balloon pop?

I don't think it will, at least for fox bodies. Yes maybe another teal in the some condition only goes for 60 tomorrow, but that's just a randomness.

2-3 times in the last month or so, I've seen a 93 cobra get listed on a FB page, and the ad is gone within an hour or two. It's almost hard to track some of the sales as if priced with 2019 values, they are gone instantly. I don't think it's a bubble, just more of folks wanting to move on what they've always wanted. A recent one you probably saw, but I'll mention it here so everyone can see the details... teal 93 Cobra, 135K miles, 700 miles bottom end, aluminum heads, cam, 5 lug, 2003 cobra IRS... AC not charged, heater core bypassed, theft recovery in 2008, side ground effects are cervinis, rear bumper doesn't have the VIN sticker... asking 20K. It was vultures attacking trying to by that car. Countless people within an hour saying they have cash, will pick up tomorrow, etc.

When I bought my teal in 2008, you could still get one under 10K. Now, you pretty much can't get one under 20K. It's "THE" foxbody. Mostly everyone who ever had a fox, dreamed of the 93 Cobra. It's iconic.

Pretty wild stuff. I am starting to regret selling my '87 notch a few months back!!
I almost doubled my money in 2 years but the cost of re-entry is crazy.

Foxbodies are cool, but for the driving experience and that level of investment... I'm out haha

This is why we passed on the 89 saleen white convertible on BaT. It just sold for 65k, pretty close to what we paid for the Shelby GT350..

That was a good looking car. 88-456, a black hatchback just popped up on FB for sale this morning for $30K. Looks like a solid deal in todays market.

Yeah, but I'm done buying foxbody mustangs for quite some time. I also decided NOT to sell my 93 reef blue hatch.
