I guess a good guess would be around $2k-5k depending on what kind of shape they are in. I've seen a few in my area for around $3500. I definitely wouldn't pay more than $3-4k depending even if they are in mint shape. Go for it, the 2.3 turbo fords are considered one of the best cars to get a lot of HP cheap.

Makes me wish I paid more attention to cars back in the day. There were all these cool cars that just slipped under the radar and are all but forgetten now.
