[QUOTE="stangbear427, post: 4396105, member: 46931"] Another thing to consider when discussing the "value" of classic muscle cars vs. the Fox is the likelyhood that a Fox will ever be viewed as they are. For example, one of the biggest reasons most of these old muscle cars are so desired is the very same reason there are so few of them. The General Lee comes to mind. Ask yourself, how many hundreds of '68 Chargers were destroyed making the Dukes TV shows, and compounding the issue, how much smaller would the Chargers cult following be today without the TV drawing so much attention to it, making it look so cool? The car was a legend in it's own time, the Fox isn't. The same could be said for the 60's Mustangs. At least the car in [i]Bullet[/i] only brought exposure to a car that was cool off the showroom floor, but [the remake of] [i]Gone in 60 Seconds[/i] has turned the '67-'68 Mustang market rabid to find cars to slice up and turn into Eleanors, 40 years after the cars hayday. I'm not saying nobody will ever try to use a Fox for a hero car or that when they do it won't start a revolution in the Fox market much the same way GI60 did for the '67 Shelby, but I kindof doubt it.
