I believe right now is the best time to buy a SN95. The prices will only go up from here! Maybe not as high as Fox prices (with the Terminator being the exception), but get a good one while you can. I love how they drive! My '96 had a P.I. head swap (which Matthew tuned), with several bolt ons, and it was alot of fun to drive. Thanks for the awesome information!
Best time to buy was when they were 5-10 years old, private sale. You could get a really good deal because you weren’t competing on the global market, since listings tended to mostly be in something called a “newspaper.” They were old enough to be devalued, especially the round bodies, since the new edge made the older SN95 more dated. Didn’t look old, just obviously not new. This was also the period when you most likely were buying from the original owner who probably took care of it. I got my 94 in 98 for $7500, and still have it to this very day.
I totally agree...even pre covid prices where better, especially for Fox bodys . That's awesome you still have your car. There are still a few nice condition, nice priced 94/95s around if a guy really looks...but as time goes by, it will be harder to find a creampuff as they get spoken for. I really like my 95, and was really happy with my 96 with the PI head swap...
@306foxbody1 and @UmmYeahOk , Outside of that first 5-7 year old period, now might be as good of a time as any to get one. As time goes on the quality goes down, and the competition with other collectors or enthusiasts will go up. I am of the opinion that the modular equipped Mustangs have been crushed at a rate not seen since the Mustang II, so this has really cut the supply down. I sold that 02 rag with the Fox Lake P-51 intake in 2011 and although it was a super rare setup, I have never seen or heard of it since. I assume someone totaled it and it was crushed. Calls from SN95 guys at the shop had dropped to near zero except for the pushrod cars but in the last couple of years they have really picked up again. I take that as a sign that there is some real current demand for them out there again.
@@tecmotiondynoI’ve been seeing more and more SN95s at mustang events each year compared to 10-20 years ago. Sure, the ones I see most on the road tend to be the New Edge, but there is starting to be a small increase in rounbody SN95s. I don’t know if it’s because the new edge is newer, or if you can’t get your hands on a terminator, buyers settle for a regular new edge, or if the round bodies are considered more feminine. I’ve had a few people tell me this was the reason, new edges looked more masculine… …and TBH, I’m a woman with a round body mustang, so maybe. But these tend to be the same people who claim that convertibles are also chick cars… …and, yeah, I suppose I’m guilty of that too. But I would just assume that roundbodies would be the first to gain value, collectibility, and restoration, before new edges would be, simply due to age. In the early aughts, people were buying up fox bodies for this reason. They were the upcoming classic car. But it looks like buyers are skipping this body style for some reason. Maybe it looks too JDM? Back in the day, Ford was trying to see if they could tap into that market. I saw a dealership education video, teaching car dealers the type of buyer that would want each model of 94 mustang, and they mentioned possibly gaining interest in that car buying segment. When I went to Japan this year, I saw so many 90s tuner cars. So many looked like my mustang!!! 😁 I guess that if you were interested in owning 90s JDM, you would buy 90s JDM, not a mustang. And the new edge, in no way, looked like 90s or even 00s JDM.
@UmmYeahOk I think the main reason that the modular 96-98 cars are viewed less favorably is that they were kind of doggy in terms of power by comparison to the new edge cars or even the Foxbodies. Also I would say that the main reason the convertibles have been seen as less desirable across the whole fuel injected Mustang spectrum is that you can't go quicker than 13.50 on the strip with one unless you have real rollover protection, and people don't want to do it, but they can go 11.50 in a coupe. Enquiries and actual tunes at the shop for all the modular SN's are up in the last few years. A lot of the people they really appeal to are in their 40's now and that is an age where a lot of people are suddenly in a position to indulge their car dreams a little bit, and the SN95 Mustang is IT for those guys. Also, on the topic of convertibles, I prefer one as a daily summer driver. I have had one for years, and I actually have two convertibles right now. Volkswagon Golf convertible might be a "chick car", but I don't think a Mustang Convertible really is. Heck, even Vanilla Ice drives one! :)
That’s getting harder and harder to find. I saw a couple of very nice barely modified terminators in the last year, but a LOT of them have been through the wringer! Thanks for watching!
I dynoed one for a guy one time who bought it used at a dealership and they didn’t understand what it was and sold it to him as if it was a V6! Craziest Bullitt deal I ever saw!
Thank you! I work hard to deliver a quality product. Sometimes guys ask me on this channel about merch, but frankly I would sooner see you get something useful for your car than a coffee cup with my logo on it, and sometimes the parts bring in a new viewer so it works both ways!
I’ve owned multiple foxes, 94 cobra, 01 bullitt, and currently a 01 cobra. The 01 is by far my favorite having the all aluminum 4v and IRS. I bought it with the intention of coyote swapping it.
@FoxyMcFoxFace93 , My Dad and I were watching old machinery videos over Christmas and we were watching one on combines, a few of which we had personally owned and operated. The information was straight up wrong, and I came to realize that the whole thing was an AI construct - AI scripted, imagery grabbed from the web, and AI voiceover. Here's something to think about - what about a few years from now when the next generation of AI's are trained from this flawed content that was produced by today's AI's? Think about the feedback loop of crap that is going to produce the content of tomorrow! I don't think I would call my video style "slick", but at least it is REAL. :)
@@tecmotiondynocaught a few myself. The videos stolen weren’t even of the topic they were taking about! Example: showing a Disney store instead of a Disney park. Talking about things in a Disney park that were clearly only in a Universal park. They didn’t do any research at all, knew nothing of the topic, and clearly just had everything aggregated via AI. I hate that google has implemented it because I will start reading things as answers to a question believing they are fact, forgetting that, oh yeah, this is AI, and therefore, could be wrong.
@UmmYeahOk ,Exactly, and it is only going to get worse. I'm pretty sure that these video are created by telling ChatGPT or whatever to make a 10 minute and 5 second video script about 10 "whatevers" (combines in my example case), then produce the video with a script and then they use one of these digital voiceover systems to do the narration. Probably takes 10 minutes of human time, and someone gets paid for it - more than me for my hours of hand edited, real narrated video. And they can make dozens of them a day. Right now the tip off is the voice inflection and pronunciation of technical words, like they have the wrong inflection on "Combine" or say "Cat three thousand two-hundred and eight engine", which noone would say, but this stuff will only get more convincing. And like I said, tomorrow's AI's will be trained on this junk as if it was true. Heck, someone out there probably hears a little "Albertan" in my voice and thinks I'M an AI!
My 95 GT convertible oddly just started having a bunch of issues all this year to started really falling apart and stopped moving passenger window stopped working driver seat recline broke, struts smoked trunk doesn't like to open by the key and couple days ago I went to check the oil and 3/4 of the oil dipstick was gone! It had a few things like the driver's side door pin is worn the usual drivers side inside door latch trim flopping around and the rear main leaks. But mechanically it's pretty sound, it has a running issue of a rough idle and running rich but it starts and drives great, I can go out on a frigid morning at 5:30 am and vroom starts right up. Normally its parked for winters but my son lost my one caravan key in 2 days that I've held onto for 10 years so it's still my daily until that's resolved and so far $450 for a new key from the dealership! Plus a tow so I haven't resolved that yet. The other morning I was backing out frosted windows 15° cut the wheel too soon and dragged my mailbox over the spoiler and made a 4" cut in the top! Not to busted up the clear is screwed so it needs paint. It was my mom's since 2000 until she passed in 2014 so the drivetrain has always been babied and she put it in storage every winter so it's 100% rust free, so I hate driving it in the snow plus it has 18" 95 cobra style wheels with 265/35 tires not the best snow tire. Hopefully the key thing is resolved soon and I can park it then douche the undercarriage hard in the spring. I love that car it's due for some money and TLC this next year. Paint and a top and I'm collecting parts to build a nice 5.0. but they are not only a great mustang but a great car for any person got just a daily they are very solid built vehicle,well engined, very very simple especially 94/95 and easy and cheap to work on and fun to drive, pay no attention to the they are slow snobs, they feel lively and especially with a 5 speed they feel pretty quick n they are very fun to drive. I would probably stick to a hard top coupe not a convertible tho.
a 95 GT is 30 years old this year, and like it or not as time marches on these cars get a lot of "old car problems" just like we get "old man problems". Hopefully you get yours all sorted out. At least with a car like that, most of the stuff you will need to sort it out is readily available!
I swapped a 94 5.0 motor and t-5 transmission from a wrecked GT into my 89 gt roller. The mechanic that did the swap threw away the accessorie brackets so that's been a pain trying to figure out also the shifter is a little too far back and has been a pain to swap out the stock for short throw shifter. As well the xpipe that is specifically made for a fox 302 with long tube headers do not fit...🤯
@@ValentinoMustangs that all sounds like expected problems, except for the throwing away of accessory brackets. Not sure why he would do that. Good luck sorting it out.
@tvelis513 yes, the rods are the strongest connecting rods ever put in a production Ford engine. The net result as you said is that you can crank the Terminators up to 750 HP or so without opening the engine up and without having to worry too much about a failure except under continuous boost operation.
I think I mention the 95 Cobra R. At least one of the 94 Mustang brochure excerpts shows the removable hardtop setup, but I am pretty sure that none of them actually ended up being offered to the public. I set aside a couple other excerpts showing that convertible hardtop for a follow up instagram post. In Canada, there were no Cobras until 1996, which is ironic since Ford called all the GT's here Cobra GT's up until 1992.
I’m not referring to cobra R’s. They made regular cobra’s in 94/95. I have a 94 cobra sitting in the garage right now. The removable hardtop convertible cobras that were made in 95 were sold to the public, they made 499 of them and were only offered in black. These might not have been available in Canada, but were available in the U.S.
@rudy6223 By the way, I'm not doubting you but I would love to see pictures of your 95 Cobra with the removable hardtop. Like I said, the 93-95 cobras were not offered in Canada and I don't think I have ever even seen one in person, and I KNOW I have never seen one of the removable hardtop cars except in a Ford brochure, which it turned out you couldn't order anyway (at least here). I was always interested in that option. If possible, DM me some pics at @tecmotiondyno on instagram just for my personal enjoyment!
Nice! I have a couple coyotes of my own including a Roush stage 2 2011 Mustang convertible. Love the power. Always loved the hood on the 96-98 cobras as I said in the video. Thanks for watching!
@ that’s awesome, I also built a 99 GT anniversary edition with a gen2 coyote. Both builds are on my channel. I’ll def be checking your channel out more!
I checked out a little of your stuff. I like the 2 tone paint treatment on the 97 Cobra! A lot of my subscribers scream for Foxbody stuff, so I am in the process of doing a Godzilla swap in one this winter. There will be lots of that on the channel for sure.
@ that’s gonna be a fun car! A friend close by me put a 7.3 Godzilla in his 1995 Mustang GT then put a hot rod whipple kit on top! I subbed and I’ll check out your Fox when you get around to it!
You know I thought I was going to buy a distressed corvette during covid but instead they all went up 40%! You bring up a good point though - I bet the absolute best buying opportunity in the last few years was the fall of 2019. Often they cost less in the fall because guys don’t want to store them, and once covid got into full swing the price of everything from toilet paper to Mustangs just went through the roof!
You are correct about modding 4.6 2V Modulars....don't waste time and lots of money on anthing N/A....just bolt on a blower! Or get a junkyard Coyote 5.0 and swap out that turd 4.6 2V.
Yeah. I did an NA build on mine and I included the dyno sheet for the project difference in the video. It’s always a disappointment for the work. Yes, you can change the throttle and elbow, put on underdrives, change the gears and shifter, but more than that on an NA build is a very diminishing return. You get more for just a cam on a Godzilla or Chevy LS than that whole heads/cam/intake/exhaust project on my 02 GT!
