I'm not sure if I'm posting the pic right..Adding anything (blower, etc) is not an option
Maybe on my listing I can quote a price for any adds and offer, at their expense, to add it before delivery.

Ooops, I meant to say, I checked out that link on the the post about the Foose and that guy was asking a whole lot for theirs. Mine is 7k less. Shelby's are going for around $60k.

I think the biggest problem is, the foose mustang was suppost to be a one off car... now they are mass producing them. So they arne't that valuable anymore.

There are 3 in the local stealership showroom. 2 coupes and a vert. They are nice looking cars but way over-priced for what you get IMHO. I believe the 2 tone paint is almost $5000 extra.
Good luck selling that albatross.

Okay, I don't want to defend the Foose but it is nice and limited (3000 per year). I agree about the mark up, but surely it's worth more than a Standard GT. I don't have a break down of price per option but here's the totals.
Mustang GT is $29,840
Foose Conversion $15,856
$45,696
Conversion includes:

-$2,500 Rebate
-$3,309 Discount
$39,887 Total
So in my mind this car should sell. Why can't I?!!!! The vote seems to be performance and price. $39 is less than others went for and as for performance, well...blah I don't know I give up!

I think Foose just got in late on the whole "mass production of one off vehicles"...Best of luck on the sale...

YES

[vavila]

Thank you guys for all your input. I recieved more response from this board than any other. If any of you hear of someone that may be, even in the slightest way, interested; send 'em my way! I work in a very large Ford dealership...so who knows I may be able to return the favor.

[ChrisJ]

I wish you the best of luck...

Is the foose even a numbered stang?

[Bossman]

I gotta say that the "new" 5 spd. automatics run very well. I've got an 06 GT with the auto trans. and an SCT tune and it shifts like a top fuel dragster and gets rubber in second and third!

The Foose Stallion would, however, do much better in the twisties and stop/break a lot better.

Hey Justin, let me school you a little bit, First of all the foose is a GT when it is sent to Unique Performance for the conversion. i own a '07 Foose stallion and it came with two window stickers. The first one was the Ford sticker and it lists it as a Mustang GT with a price of just under 36K. The second sticker is the Foose sticker from Unique Performance and after all the conversions including the front bumper pad, aluminum foose hood, the entire interior including seats, dash panels, gauges, rocker panels, speaker covers, console deck lid, custom mats, and dash lighting, as well as the foose brakes, wheels, suspension upgrades, custom grille, and a supercharged Roush engine that after installing a cold air kit, a smaller top (blower) pulley and increasing the boost manually, produces 472 HP to the rear wheels at 3900 RPM's brings the price to $64,000.00. I was told that of the roughly 1,600 Foose Mustangs produced total, only 63 have the supercharged Roush engine making it very rare. I actually own two of them, both are convertibles. My first one I puchased while working out in Fresno, CA and saw it in a dealership. It is blue with silver stripes and I paid sticker price of $53,000.00 but after an extended warranty having the style/roll bar installed and having it shipped home to Maryland, I have about 58K invested. The second one is the one I described and stumbled upon it at Bob Bell Ford in Glen Burnie, Maryland. It is white with black stripes. Until then I had no idea that there were Roush supercharged versions and considered trading in the blue one I bought just 7 months before. Believe it or not because the blue one was so new i would have lost around 8 or 9 thousand on the deal by trading it in on the white one. Within the first 45 minutes of talking to a salesman there were 3 different people inquiring about it and I had no doubt in my mind if I left that day without buying that car it would be gone. They are both 5 speed manual trannies. I just had a drag cam put in the blue one and with the foose exhaust and some tweaking have 398 horses at the rear wheels at 4000 RPMs. I have never lost to a GT and in fact with the white one i have toasted several saleen's a couple roushs and 2 cobra 500's when challenged. keep in mind that these were not off the line drag races. They were battles that startd out with a cat and mouse type situation going down the road and turned into a bigger cock contest. Either way I would not hesitate to race any compareable mustangs that have not had any major mods geared toward racing. You should really drive a foose if given the chance before you criticize the performance factor. I am sure you would be very surprised.
