  • There looks to be a number of Fox Mustangs at Barrett-Jackson this year, from 79 all the way to 93, but only two are of the four-eyed variety.

    First up is a 99 mile 1984 G.T. 350 scheduled to go across the stage on Wednesday. A 1979 Pace Car is going to be sold on Sunday. Both are no reserve and are not during prime bidding times, though the Pace Car gets a little better slot.





    The description for this 99 actual mile 84 Mustang G.T. 350/20th Anniversary car is vague and filled with typos. The condition of the engine compartment is a little disappointing for such low mileage, though certain things are expected to deteriorate with age. One might wonder, though if this is due to less than optimal storage conditions at some point, which would not be unreasonable over the course of 30+ years.

    For more pictures and the full description, click here.





    The 79 Indy Pace Car Mustang claims full restoration instead of low mileage. Again, an exceptionally underwhelming description was slapped on the site, although it is at least refreshing that they aren't trying to tout it as a low-production car or rare as many do.

    Additional pictures and brief description are found here.

    We're hoping to get someone to the auction to check out one or both cars in person. Getting there on the right day to see certain cars can be a challenge as the show tents at Barrett-Jackson fill up (and empty out) over the course of the week. If we are lucky enough to get someone on the ground at the auction, we'll follow up with more detailed pictures and first-person insight and certainly we will be watching for auction results.

    Although Barrett-Jackson may not be the most exacting indicator of the overall market given the excessive hype the event receives, it is certainly something that can show us where the market it going. Watching for the other Foxes this week may also be a value barometer of sorts.

      I mean the auction sale price, is what it is. This is about what auction bidders were in fact willing to pay. Popular street value doesn't really have much to do with it?

      I think we had a misunderstanding. I I'm not knocking your opinion, but if you seen the car in person I think you would agree that it was not worth the money. But if say a low mileage pacecar hit the blocks, I would hope it would be in the $20000 range

      Let's not forget that these cars are getting rarer and thus are becoming more collectable. The restoration was not perfect and (not top notch paint and moldings coming unglued) but it was still a nice car. I call it an 8 out of 10 but I think you would be hard pressed to find many any nicer so if you want a one, it's a good one to buy. I don't think it's a lot of money for a pedigree car. Bandit edition Trans Ams (not the movie car, just the package) were pulling $70,000-$80,000 so the pace car seems like a deal at $11,500. I think over the next few years the collectable fox bodies will start to rise I value.

    Those are very nice. I saw a set on a car last week which were peeling.

    No oil in filter?

    You're not lying, are you? j/k

    That's so weird. I could see the gasket looking good if the mating surface was really clean, but the innards

    Motor has ran for maybe 3 or 4 hours. I haven’t really drove it that much. Hasn’t been started since maybe September of last year.

    That's bizarre! Since you had good oil pressure, it shouldn't be a faulty oil pump. How long did the motor run with that filter on it? How long did it
