roush mustang value

[k92]

I was looking at a kit that Steeda makes, cold air kit,sct tuner and pulley for $899.00. There is not any place real close with a chassis dyno,so if I add the kit will I be ok without putting it on the dyno? They are quoting an average 144hp increase at the rear wheels with their kit. Sounds intense.

Yeah, you'll be fine. A mail order tune isn't in the same league as real dyno time, but if there isn't a dyno close by it's a good alternative, and SCT writes decent tunes.

That's the great thing about those cars. Stare at 'em hard and they pick up a hundred horsepower.

Beings that I run a registry for the 1982 to 1990 Dominator Mustangs... and came across this post. I have to Agree 100% with this. Special Edition Fox Chassis cars are already becoming collectors items. The Saleens, Predators, Dominators, MClaren Capri's, all already have a following that will only continue to grow.

checkout http://www.foureyedpride.com and see just how many faithful to the Fox's there are...

Old5.0 Thanks for spreading the word about the Dominators! I want to find every single one still on the Road!

IMO, if any of these cars become true collectibles it's so far down the road many of us won't be around to see it. At present, Roush and Saleen cars garner more attention than GT500's (except the KR), because they are fewer of them. The GT500's that probably will become the collectibles in the distant future are the KR and GT500's modified by Shelby into 600 and 700HP Super Snakes. Also, depends what you want the car for. If it's fast fun, get a GT500, but don't expect it to appreciate in value for years, if ever. IMO, the Roush,Saleen and Shelby built Mustangs have a better chance to hold their value and become collectibles in the years ahead.

The Fox cars will become collectible first. Starting with the dealer specials like the Dominators. Especially the early '83-'84 Dominators with the head work, solid cams, no smog equipment, cold air kits, special MSD ignition, non emissions Holley, etc. Then the race cars. Famous cars like Mike Murrillo's Star Car 1, Brian Wolfe's 86 GT, Stormin' Norman's red turbo 'Vert, etc. And then period modified cars. The Fox movement went through several distinct periods where certain mods were common, and the guys who grew up in those particular periods will be willing to pay good money for a solid, well built car done in the style they like. Notchbacks will lead the way in value in that category. My 2 cents.

EDIT: I should add that I include Saleen's, Steeda's, etc. in the dealer special category.
