What's this Fox really worth?

[UserX]

This thing is making my pants tight... How much is it worth? And did cars come optioned this way? No AC but leather?

No AC but leather sounds like a northern car. I'd look for some rust, though I doubt an owner like that would take it out in shitty conditions. I'm sure someone will buy it, but I wouldn't. You can get a really decent fox for half that and not cringe every time you drive it.

Vinyl? Seems interesting that it has "period correct tires" and aftermarket exhaust and wires/cap on it.

Oddly enough it was sold new in TX and remained there until 1998. It spent the rest of its life in Kentucky, and was only driven a couple hundred miles while registered there.

Bought in Texas with no AC? Well that explains the low miles. lol

Vinyl?

That's what I was thinking.. The ad does not specify leather.

Maybe it was intentionally bought as a stripped down (option deleted) model to be turned into a race car of some sort, but never made it that far.

Looking at the window sticker, you can see on the options (right column) where it says "Vinyl Seat Trim" and "Radio Delete".

You can also see it was purchased in Plano..

After a closer look, I see adjustable shocks, possible lower control arms, rear end cover, etc. These 3,000 miles may have been put on a 1/4 mile at a time.

I didn't even know that was an option. I'm no Ford expert by any stretch, I've just never seen one.

Oh, me either.. But it was surely a custom order, and this was 25 years ago, so they likely weren't limited by "preferred option packages" like we are now.

My first vehicle was an 85 Mitsu Mighty Max, with no a/c. It came from Alaska though, so that was understandable.

I've had my share of vehicles that didnt have working a/c, but its not something I would seek out.

Non-working AC, and without AC are two very different things.

Growing up in WA, most cars up there didn't have AC from the factory.
