I looked very hard at 4-eye Foxes this spring before I got my S197. I still want one. But good ones are getting thin on the ground, and are priced accordingly. I did find some good candidates, but they were all hundreds of miles away, and I couldn't bring myself to trust a FB seller for something like that.

Yeah, finding a clean Fox Body is getting harder and harder. My dream car is a Cobra Fox but I doubt that will ever happen with where prices are going now.

Have looked at foxes in the past, had a 98 sn95 first, 4.6 auto was a great car. Had a gorgeous black 90 c4 before the stang. Most beautiful car I ever hated... Couple months ago spotted an 09 s197 at a house near me with no plates. Knocked on the door and bought it a week later... Sweet 4.0 v6 automatic with 93k miles... Vista blue convertible with pony package... Loved the retro 05-09 since they were introduced... Now driving the 09, my 99 528 msport sedan and a 63 Mercury comet s22convertible... Variety is the spice of life...
