Total sales of Dennis Collins' Fox Body collection from Scottsdale tops a half a Million dollars. $528,500 to be exact at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale. This consecutive lot of Fox body Mustangs from 1979 to 1993 stole the show on Sunday .
I sold my two Foxbodies about three years ago for $7500. A white 5.0L 5sp. notch and a black 5.0L 5sp. hatch. Both cars were nice drivers with some engine/suspension work. The most fun hobby cars I ever owned, and I've owned quite a few different makes and models.
I've been without a hobby car for the first time in over 30 years since I sold them. I plan on retiring within the next 5 years and will be in the market for an 87-90 notchback 5.0L 5 sp.
Absolutely love these cars. Relatively cheap go-fast parts, huge aftermarket support, and easy to work on. There are other cars I really like, but the Fox Mustang just scratches my itch the best.
I had the same color as you did in my 83 .Bought it in 96 .With T Tops it didn't take a whole lot of arm twisting .2 hours later I was on my east driving across Canada .3 days and 3000 miles later I was home.I still miss the old girl once in a while.
Hey Rich!...Bro. Dave here! Nice Review of the Fox Body Mustangs! I use to own Fords other Fox Body, an 85 Mercury Capri RS 5.0 in Dark Red Metallic with the lower Gray Cladding, Front Spoiler and Fog Lamps in lower Front Spoiler! The previous owner I bought it from took off the Bubble Glass Rear Hatch and replaced with an 85 Mustang Rear Hatchback and added the 85 SVO mustang Dual Rear Spoiler! The Interior was in Gray with Red Piping Trim on the Sports Seats, that too is a Rare Car today!...God Bless!
David, They sure are fun little cars, I remember the Capri's too, that odd bubble rear though....had an '83 GT hatch myself back in the day. Thanks for watching!
Man, I wish I still had my 1986 Mustang GT that I bought brand new, loaded with automatic, air, cruise, silver w/ gray interior.
My grandpa bought a brand new 5.0 in 1986 a white one with reddish burgundy interior it was a beast back in the 80s
Unbelievable absolutely amazing collection it's all broken up but they are all beautiful cars in their own way I love that white one with the white rag top Jesus what a beautiful car
I think one or several bidders bought several so some of these are staying together. That triple white car brought a pretty penny. Thanks for watching!
I dont know why people have such a hard time accepting these cars as classics. An 87 now is 31 years old. How old are they going to have to be before they lose the stigma of being a 2k dollar p.o.s.? Hell, you dont even really see that many IROC's anymore. I guess you had to grow up in that era to really have given a shit. In the late 80's and early 90's fox mustangs were practically unbeatable as far as off the lot cars were concerned. IROC Z's were about it as far as anything that would have been considered a contender.
I guess its just the build quality and the boxy nature of the cars that came out of that era that puts people to sleep. I'm 48 and that was my era and I have fond memories of it so they will always be cool and a classic to me. If you grew up in the 60's and 70's then you had some really good memories and some killer hot-rods but foxes were our hot-rods.
They just arent a great looking car. Decent at best.
The Fox...particularly the 87-93 cars are beautiful
@@johndef5075 Relative to the cars of that era they were pretty much in line with what was being produced. The coupes are popular now but back in the day, a gt with the bigger wing and ground effects we're more popular. I was less than pleased with the downsizing that the 80's brought. Blame all that on the new government mandates in gas mileage standards.
The era was the problem, IMHO.
I agree. I remember not many old timers back than did not like the Fox body. I grew up with them as well. Same age as you. I owned an 81, 90 and 91. Loved them All. Had a couple 67's for a short time as well. Anyhow the Fox Body's are now being sought after. The new collectors are our age...
That white 1987 GT is gorgeous! I vividly remember when the '87 GT models hit the streets back in the '80s. I always thought the white GT with red stripe was stunning! The 1985-86 GT will forever be my favorites though, followed by the '93 SVT Cobra then SSP models I think.
I have to say I never cared for the 87-89 GT set up all that much , the turbine wheels, rear taillight treatment , "areo" effects. I prefer the early 4 eyed fox look Hard not to agree on the 93 Cobra, SSP and 85-6 some of that generations best~ !
Considering I am the original owner of a 1986 GT That as not been modified or ruined in any way I would agree with you. 86’ with the ultra-reliable fuel injection is my favorite.
I remember also.if you had one of these back in the late 80s early 90s, you were the man.
Not bad prices considering what a new plastic car will cost you.
I had 2 fox body Mustangs fastback back in the day, 79 4 speed and 84 5 speed great bang for the buck!
Agreed, they are fun little cars and the power to weight is great. Owned a few in my time too.
Hey, I'm a big Fox-body fan. But these cars aren't worth all of that. They are simple and cheap hot rods. That's what I like about them.
Man, cant believe that 83 GT sold for $33,000. It's super nice, but I'd never pay that much for it.
Here's the thing about the Fox, you can buy a nice one for $7-9k, put a little bit of maintenance money in it, drive it and sell it for at least that (possibly more), a few years later. Try selling a new Mustang for what you paid for it, a few years later....won't happen. The "classic" status has arrived for these cars. Every GenXer remembers them. The nice ones that are garage queens, will only become more valuable. There is certainly a following on them.
The mustangs today will be wanted by the millennials in 25-30 years and they will wish they kept them...lol...sadly I will be close to dead by than...😣
@@Anth230 I don't know...I "wish" I could get my hands on a 67-68 Fastback, but the Boomers have driven the price of that car, so far up, I can't obtain one...right now. I can afford the Mustang I grew up with, which is the Fox body. It definitely holds a value to me. The fox was "the" car to have when I was in Junior High-High School. But, I have always wanted a 67-68 fastback. So I think the fox will be a future collector to my generation (GenX)...much like the fastback is to the Boomer. I don't foresee the fox getting $$$ like the fastback tho...But I could be wrong. I could already make about $1500 over what I paid for mine, 2 years ago. Time will tell.
Um, try doing that with any newer car you mean.
A car has to be 25-50 years old to call it a classic. 50 years or more it's an antique if my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Same ages for Canada also.
Depreciation no longer!
I had an '82 GT with the Visibility Light Group! 1 of 17??? Never seen, or even heard of, that stripe kit, and I consider myself rather knowledgeable about '82 GTs and Fox bodies and Mustangs in general. Mine had Speed Control and the rear wiper as well!
Foxy Lady, is Mustang Sally, Fox bodies are really coming on strong now, hard to find clean ones that haven't been completely trashed, even junkyards don't have too many anymore, for drag builds. Have to settle for a fox platform which ended in 04'.......
Neighbor had a 1984 GT-350 T-top with the 2.3 turbo 20 or so years ago. Had the 83 non functional scoop from the factory.
I have 2 1991 TX DPS SSP 5 speeds which have all the specs including paint,dash gun lock,one key,quick release trunk,1st aid kit.window strones were removed but has a drivers side spot light,blue silicone hoses,HD Floor pans etc etc if you know the SSP..I bought both BRAND NEW frim Payton Wright Ford ...TX backed out because they are manuals!! One has red interior and the other has grey..Am radio with black phone dials with stainless Center caps..One has 5818 miles RIGHT NOW..annnddddd the other..... hass uhhh 3,659 miles. I paid 15,900 for BOTH!! They simply would not sell. I have all records and build sheet.
I've owned 3 1979 Mustang Cobra's. The first 2 are gone (junked), but I still have have the 3rd one.
1. Silver w/ Blue interior, Turbo 4 cyl, 4 spd
2. Vaquero w/ Vaquero interior, 8 cyl, 4 spd
3. Silver w/ red interior, 8 cyl, auto
Very cool!
I owned an '85 GT and a '91 LX. Both 5.0 5spd. They were fun cars, that with well thought out upgrades, became super quick cars that handled excellently! I'm sorry I let them go.
Thanks Rich, I love the Fox body cars and judging from the prices so do a lot of people
Hey Terry, Yes this was a fine lot of Fox bodies. Hard to restore these and I think people ( or a certain segment anyway) are starting to appreciate well kept examples.
Is that Dennis Collins the guy from fast n loud that went with Richard Rawlins some times when he was going to look at certain types of cars.?
Had an 86 GT. God what a fun car
wow nice collection. beautiful cars Ford mustang. Giovanni from Philly
When i was in high school in the late 80’s early 90’s, if you pulled into a paring lot with a fox body mustang, so many guys were envious, iroc z’s were the same thing. I love this collection . My favorite fox was the 93 cobra, that’s why i drive a GT500 as my daily driver now.
I've owned a few fox body mustang's. Mostly miss the 85 Gt. Never though I'd consider another one but that White 79 Cobra was perfect.
Wow foxbody heaven! I knew the 90 notch would go for around 33k,i called it,lol. Imagine a driving a super low mile svo,must run awesome.
It would be great to drive one that isn't hammered, modified or just plain tired that is for sure.
Man , thats amazing , now i miss my 85 notch back , great now i have to add another mustang to the collection , my wife is going to kill me ! Great job Rich
One of the coolest things ever about the Fox era, notch, hatch and convert.
All I saw was mostly Manuals, the near standard then, it took me months to find a 12gt convert. with a manual, they're definately not the norm now!
Rolling in my 5.0
Cupid stunt.........great name!
Thanks for the video I don't have cable so I didn't get to see this air I have a 92 that I love so much
Cool, thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it.
I remember my buddy pulling up in my driveway in a brand new triple black 85 GT going on and on about the performance features Holley carb roller lifters traction lok diff etc... Man we had some fun in that car!!
I had a 85 gt.. the first car I bought .. thought it was the baddest shit on the road 😂😂😂 man to be 16 again
Absolutely amazing!!
Thanks for checking it out!
Holding on to my 79 and finish restoring I hope in the future it brings have as much
I remember these cars when they were new, now they are collectible ? Very surprised to see how much money they bring, that white one sold for over 50000 that seems like a big amount.
Yes top dollar on the white one for sure, thanks for stopping by.
The White ones were heIIa- rare back in the days. Green very common, Yellow quite common, Red sort of, White=The Rarest.
Some bad info on that last LX convertible...ALL 87-93 automatic 5.0 cars came with 3.27 gears, not just the convertible.
Very cool Rich thanks for sharing it
Thanks for watching Joe!
The added strut tower brace should have dinged the value on the blue LX convertible a bit, but it didn't seem to have much effect.
I would have loved that '79 Cobra - I would have paid $20K for that easily. I was 16 when they came out and I fell in love with them. Brings back some nostalgic memories.
Amazing all those low mile cars! Just sold mine with 103,000 miles for $8k
Oh man, I was predicting this about 3-4 years ago, that values of Third Generation Mustangs were ready to explode! In the past, if somebody had one in "wrapper" condition, it would usually sell for around 14-18 thousand, rarely ever 20 thousand, unless it was a '93 Cobra.
John, I think this is still a somewhat insulated sample size and not really the overall market. Time will tell, I do know that the '93 Cobra and certainly the CobraR are still the money in this space.
The values are gonna drop eventually there not that rare lots of hype right now
Amazing footage great video gotta love them fox body's.
Thank you!
I have an 89 Georgia State Patrol lx coupe SSP car 798 post 44 Forsyth. Trpr Paul Roberts was assigned this car I've owned it for 22 years.
Notch / trunks will always be my favs
Simply an amazing collection of Foxbody’s
Yes a nice link up and he timed the market well on this sale yet again.
Wow that 86 sho went for a good amount my friend has 4 of them all in great shape and 6 turbo coupe t-birds.
Yes they all did pretty well, your buddy is a turbo Ford fan it sounds like!
I had an 86 SVO. loved it so much I put a turbo 2.3 in my Pinto :)
the 85 gt 5.0 is my fav. i had mine for eleven yrs drove everyday and raced prob at least once a day i beat vettes and porches and i had to transfer the engine and trans into another body when i let someone drive it and he hit a street light and almost killed me.i was 21 and drunk and dumb.first body was black and second was grey and it was a hatchback so i got lucky in it many times when i had no where to go.
I had a 79,81 and a 87
These cars were built Very well and quality was much better than it's predecessor.... Iroc z28.
Rich kid: my daddy owned a Ford dealership and let me pick out a new Mustang every year and then I drove them for a year, then I put them in a warehouse to sell years later!! LoL
I have a 1990 mustang gt with 31,000 miles all original
82 GT, the color stripes down the hood and grill, was that a Ford option?
The 87 and up EFI cars seem to be more popular. I’d be happy to find a plain 79-82 hatchback without rust, T-tops or a 2.3. I had two 5.0 Pace Cars from 87-91.
That '79 Cobra is not completely original as the rear spoiler was not available that year except on the Pace Car.
But still, I love how crisp the 79-82 models look. I painted my '79 Ghia with the 80-81 Cobra side stripes, and added a rear spoiler. Looks sweet like that. Mine has the 2.8L V6.
The demand is still not there. Seems high tide passed. If you adjust for inflation and carrying costs, the cars sold for a loss.
I got to service a few of these models. Several pace car Mustangs too.
Steve, Who is the world would have thought....collector car......on these ?!Q!
MustangConnection1 Several of the buyers didn't want the decals installed. Even the Cobra edition. We even had a man that would add custom stripes/horses to plain cars. Anything to sell inventory.
I'll bet I think those sticker packages had sorta run there course by then as they were remnants of the 60's and 70's. Kinda silly when they are all show and no go and that 79 to 81 those ponies had none. Hope you are feeling healthy this Easter weekend.
MustangConnection1 Over at the GM dealership anything that had wheels was getting a SS treatment. Mr Goodwrench must of had a pickle barrel of peel and stick super sport emblems.
very nice examples of foxes but those prices were running high but a very nice collection of foxes indeed. i think for me personally at the average price point most of these sold for id rather find a good clean driver and restore it to like new condition. i hope this sale doesn't go to peoples heads
They brought a premium because they are so low mileage,original and the Barrett factor of course. It's hard to compare real world prices against an insulated sale . I agree that you can find plenty of clean drivers still, well cared for at significantly lower prices. As with everything , it is what a buyer is willing to pay the determines the overall market.
Now every scrub thinks their rusty fox is worth 20k awesome!
Notchbacks are my favorite but I have always owned a hatch - 83' and 89' - white/white LX Convertible was tough.
Really enjoyed the video, I’m glad I own two fox bodies! Probably won’t ever sell them though...🤗
Cool , thanks for watching, make sure and sub, lot's of Fox body coverage on here.
I don’t understand why people like these cars.
This is now why every guy in the country with a fox body thinks they have a $10,000 car
The market place will hardly be effected by this. These are super clean, low mile , original cars. No one is paying 10 grand for clapped out fox cars.......yet......and if they do then that is what the buyer is willing to pay.
MustangConnection1 After this aired asking price on fox bodies went up everywhere. $2000 cars became $4000 cars, $4000 became $6000 and so on. Yeah these are very low mile, rare, highly documented cars but fox body owners are using it to jack up the prices.
Bob Falfa the value is going up every year now. There considered a classic and ones all original low miles are hard to find these days
mossow71 This had a big impact, the average fox body guy is a certain type. This made even bigger egos and almost instantly a $3000 fox became a $6500 fox. The low mile original cars have a reason to bring good money, the limited production ones even more. A (insert year) manual notch or GT with 130,000 miles, Flowmasters, K&N and shorties that ticks and "only smokes when you start it" isn't a $5000 car, no matter what they saw on Barrett Jackson.
Bob Falfa haha I agree I have a 88 gt convertible 98,000 miles has some mods I wouldn't sell it for 3000
Great vid !1 (First) I wonder why the 87 and 88 convertible sold for 27,000 a pop. The 92 convertible for 44,000. And the two 93s for 45,000 and *59,000* ? I thought convertibles didn't resale very well.
It all boils down to condition( miles too) and rarity I don't think the 87-8 GT appearance package is all that attractive.
Convertibles are better than hard tops
Not many people remember that in '89 a loaded GT convertible was almost twice as much as a base 5.0 LX. Time has definitely equalized values on 5.0 foxes.
I worked at Carlisle Ford back in 92-93 and it wasnt very often that a triple black gt came in on the carrier. I do remember a guy that would come by that did gold leaf and would plate the emblems in gold on the white and black gt verts.....lol. Ahh, the glory days of fox's.
How do you even find cars like that in the first place lol
David, Agreed he must have done some serious work hunting these down. Well deserved result I would say.
There are a ton of them
Having a lot of connections and a lot of $$$$$ lol
@tedddy edwards I live in Wisconsin and my 91 convertible had 0 rust with 103k miles. Never driven in snow or rain. Just sold it today actually.
@tedddy edwards i live in Northeast Indiana and i bought a 88 GT hatchback from original owner who was in his 70's when i bought it. It had been baby and garage kept since 88. I was only caught once in the rain and never driven in snow. Only things wrong is a small dent and the classic clear coat peeling. They are out there and hard to find but worth over paying a bit when found.
What did the 79 sell for??!!!! I need to know!!!! I have one
As they drive the prices thru the fkn ceiling. Thanks. Thanks alot.
I dont follow the Fox cars so I'm pretty clueless, but that sure seems like strong #'s on those cars to me
Agreed they went for some very strong money, even being low mile original cars.
Ridiculous. Rich fuckers take all the fun out of everything😂
I would love to have that 86 SVO
The 82 mustang in my opinion is the best just don't like the appearance package
1989 Convertible Mustang GT / 5.0 / 5 speed / Limited Edition / 59,800 original miles FOR SALE on Craigslist in Walla Walla, Washington. CLASSIC / STOCK
I will keep my 1985 gt....my car is a strange 1....lots of extra wires that go no where...so i think it may be possible to plug and and play a fuel enjection...but im not going to try..gas tank also had 2 fuel sending units..i found that out cause they crossed each other.fuel gauge never worked..it does now
Good they're all in one place, now bring in the flame thrower.......
Wow! That's all I can say....just wow
Hey Billy, well they are pretty clean versions of those now 25 year old ( or more) Fox bodies. Very hard to find super clean ones.
Man oh man that was a treat Rich. What one did you like best ? I was digging that triple white but I don’t care for convertibles. The svo was cool but the purest hate the 2.3 turbo lol. Hard to go wrong with any of them . I wonder if since someone went crazy at a previous auction on a fox they decided it was time to unload them ...
I like the 4-eyed cars the best, so any of those would do... These seem to be insulated results, I have not seen fox cars bringing any real money outside of these past two Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale. In fact just these large groupings, the rest not so much.
MustangConnection1 probably cheaper to buy one of these than restore one lol
Very true, don't even know how you can source the parts you need to make them look like new again.
I have a 1987 gt with 97000 miles on it ! I’m the 3rd owner and it’s in very good unrestored condition! It was painted in a few spots but very show worthy! Paid 7800 for it with extras
Beautiful rides! Thank you Barret Jackson for ruining it for the fox body community with your overpriced Fox's.
Qué belleza de Mustang😱😱😱
Great vid. Wonder if the same person bought them all.
Hey Joe, No but one guy did buy several. I responded to you mail on YT and I still have your cell if that works.
You can also just email Rich@MustangConnection.com but definitely, let's talk!
Nice collection
-99.99999% sure the 79 cobras only came factory with the turbo I-4 2.3L. Maybe a dealer option.- I stand corrected. mandela effect.
I've owned a 74 nova ss, 84 trans am knight rider, 3 mustangs, funnest car to drive, MUSTANG EASILY
Never liked the Fox body Mustang. More of a box than a fox! But thank you Rich for sharing!
Happy Easter!!!
Pete :")
They were great for their time, I prefer the four eyed fox cars from 79 to 86 and that styling got very long in the tooth for sure. Bleated Happy Easter to you as well, I spent the week in Hawaii!
Maybe! Still I don't like the body style. For me the best body styles sadly lasted only for a single year. My fav is the 69! Best ever! Second fav 67! Didn't you have a 69 fastback a long time ago!?! Hawaii! Fortunate you! Miserable me!
Pete :")
Barrett-Jackson obviously these people have more money then they do common sense about the value of these cars.
Bet there isnt my stang there. 1979 turbo 2.3 4 speed notch no opions. Race ready.
Nope
Too bad they weren't all hardtops, or better yet, COUPES!...they would bring more money. A nice convertible is fairly easy to find, try finding a clean low mileage unmolested 5.0 5 speed coupe...and bring all the cash.
Really want to get a 5.0 liter notchback.
This is why rollers on CL are going for 4k
Steve magnate is the 🐐
Clean ass crowd surfers
At least IROCs looked nice.
Not a very good investment. I thought they would have gone for about 25% more and higher in some cases.
For who ? I am sure Dennis made a pretty penny on selling this collection and hard to say how the buyer(s) will fair in the long run.
Based on what Dave ? You shouldnt comment on things you have little clue about !
Well actually I do know. I sat with my son last night who is an investment counselor and we were looking at the returns on this Mustang investment and it is not very good. For instance in one of my real estate investments I had a return average of 29% per year over a 3 year period. The investment of these Mustangs is in the range of 5%. Inflation is around 2% per year so a 5% investment is close to nothing and I am sure there was cost to store these cars and to insure them and maintain them. By the way I have had near 10 mustangs and have a 68 coupe now. On my last mustang I sold my increase was in the range of 82%. Maybe it is you that does not have a clue!
Dave,
Not to jump in but how in the world do you know what his returns are ? You have no idea what his initial investment was or how long he kept the cars. So how can you determine what his rate of return was ? In some cases his returns were likely 100% or higher if you annualized it. It is likely he scooped all of these up in the 6 to 10 months leading up to the auction based on his success from last years auction.
I was understanding that they were purchased new and held or very near new. If that is not the case then that is an entirely different story.
Dennis Collins is a shrewd negotiator,but considering maintenance,storage, transport and auction fees, I really doubt he profited much from this sale...😒
I am thinking this was worth his time, those guys have a lot of contacts and have been at it a long time. I am sure he cleared a decent chunk on this lot that was worth his effort.
@@MustangConnection1
I'm just comparing between the potential profit from this lot,and some of his other trades which have netted him huge gains...☺
Many times Dennis has made more off the sale of just ONE car,than the entire profits of this lot ...😎
@@larannar123 Very true
That black 92 was descent a.f
I like them. Grew up around them. Had an 88Iroc though. Wish I could get that back. I’m sorry but I couldn’t pay 50,000 for one. Or a 5.0. Sorry cool as they are they aren’t that cool.
if I had a half million to blow I'd have bought all of them
Nice nice
Yep, Yep
Wouldn’t piss on that junk!
How much did the 79 Cobra sell for?
Well I took the time to put every sale price in the video, so if you want to find out watch the video.
I watched the video you idiot. I must have missed it and that's why I was asking. The audio wasn't the greatest.
Wow, it's actually in type in the video and then you are calling me an idiot. Cool, have a great weekend and keep on trollin'.
I was a subscriber and gave you a thumbs up for every video I watched. Every comment I ever left for you was positive. I asked you a simple question because I missed something and didn't have time to watch the entire video again. I had a few people read your reply to my original comment and they all agreed you were being rude. I subscribe to tons of people and have never received a shitty reply like yours. I unsubscribed to your channel and switched my thumbs up to a thumbs down. Just a word of advice: don't treat your other subscribers like this because you won't have them for very long.
You lost me once you called me an idiot sorry to see you go but no reason to be rude. I haven't seen you comment before.
it just shows me rich people have lots of cash but zero common sense.
I thought you meant one car for 500k lol. No way a turd will fetch that. Jk ;). I always loved f-body to me they always looked better overall and just had what I wanted. I did like the 89 notchback look with thw dual pipes and wide tired at the back that looks real good to to me. We had a friend in hs that got the last of the 5.0's yellow with black stripes down the doors 95' and he thought it was the fastest car ever hehe. He beat the shit out of that car but it never blew up.
That car is nowhere near worth that. Whoever bought that was dumb rich
They literally auctioned off 20 cars, and you say that car, you could be a little more specific.
It is to him. That's all that matters
@jason9022 Who gives a fuck what we think .I'm not going to knock guy because I thought he paid too much of his own money for it. He's keeping them not flipping them. Collectors don't mind spending a little extra money if they want it bad enough.
The 4 eyes didn’t do that good
