Car has 126k Miles on the Body

Engine, I dont know

The car has sat for 4 years after the crate motor was put in because they basically were over their head in work. They just kept dumping money into it and didnt want a garage queen anymore.

The guy I bought it off of just likes finding cars like this and fixing them up. All he buys is mustangs I believe, or anything similair. He just mentioned this car for sale and I really wanted to learn a lot about mustangs so I said why not.

The body is in great condition, not much rust, not even on the hatch. The car was obviously garage kept some of its life because all the mustangs I see this old are usually just rust buckets. Basically the main reason I bought it was because it was solid.

I do not know any history whatsoever of this car, and couldnt tell you much, just how it rides out.

I think the easiest thing to do is have you take a look at it in person and take it for a spin.

The car runs pretty strong, I think it just needs driven, ive only put about 70 miles on it. Im going to take it to Athens and put some miles on it.

You can give me a call about it if you want so I can be more descriptive of it because I have lack of time right now.

My Home # is 373-8254

Here is some pics



I dunno why the LX seats are in it, they are pretty comfy. Was going to get them reupholstered, but am just buying seat covers.

Just got back from driving it from Athens just now, I believe all it needed was driven, and it drives so much better now than it did.

Anyways, I believe its sold, but im not counting my chickens yet.

why does it have 4cyl lx seats?

body looks pretty good from what you can tell in the pics
its black, if it had dents youd see them easily lol

[Smooth_Puddin]

Dont know why it has those seats, never asked

They are actually pretty comfy.

They wont look bad once I get Seat Covers.

Bump for the Car

[Jay]

humm.. id like to have it, but that's all i need is another friggin mustang. if you still have it, maybe some time later this week i can get ahold of ya an take a look at it

[Smooth_Puddin]

Alright man, sounds good

Didnt realize you had a few Stangs yourself, your 88 GT is something I want and would buy if it wasnt for these damn gas prices and for the fact im poor.

Just Did a Full tuneup today on mine

Runs so much better now

Changed the coolant sensor because it was running shitty when it warmed up, it seemed to have worked (crosses fingers)

Just get ahold of me if you ever want to take a look at it caus its going into the bulletin board next week and hopefully it will sell quick.

Seen your stang in the buliten, if it werent for the fact I have absolutely no room in my garage nor driveway for anything I'd taken it off your hands.. you interested in buyin a set of grey seats for it? Theyre not in the best shape in the world but I really have no use for them

[Smooth_Puddin]

Im having fun driving it right now.

Im trying to get all of the jew rigging out of it right now.

I wondered why it ran rough when its warm, well it seems someone blocked off the EGR valve completely for a temporary fix. I have heard of this before but it sure didnt work for this car.

How much are you wanting for the seats? Just let me know, thanks man.

[Jay]

yank the map sensor an give it a good cleaning while youre at it.

i dono, i'll let you look at em' an make me an offer.. im easy to deal with

[Smooth_Puddin]

Price Dropped to what I honestly have in it which is $1600

Just needs a little TLC from the few and proud FORD owners.

[Jay]

man.. i know ima regret this, ive allready got 3 of those junk basterds

i'll pm ya my #
if you stil have it this weekend ill come look at it, an more than likely buy it.. i have the money to get it on me, just debating if i want/need it lol

besides seats, an what looks to be the interior needing douched, there anything it needs like a paintjob ect?

[Smooth_Puddin]

The only thing it needs is someone who knows how to work on Fords.

Someone from Cleveland is going to look at it on Friday because I have put it on many Mustang Forums. I dunno though, he asked if I would drop the price if I would take a couple dogs in trade(2 older boxers).

I thought I have heard it all
