Good clean foxes go for more than $3k.  
I paid $2700 for mine and it had holes in the 1/4’s, rust around the rear wheels and rusty fenders. Stock motor with 97k with just an intake and exhaust on it.

At the time that was a fairly decent deal for that price range.

This one with a clean body and a blower should go for more.
