New project mustang?

So i found a 1990 5.0 LX Hatchback for $3500. here is what is listed

i have a 1990 mustang lx 302 with a freshly rebuild borg warner t5 with a hurst t handle short throw shifter, has hooker equal length headers to a bbk h pipe followed by flowmaster, underdrive pullies, new battery, hotchkins suspension, bbk intake, other than that motor is stock with 116k on it, runs great, has a 5 lug conversion kit with brand new brakes all around, good tires, paint is not bad for the year, interior would need some tlc, i have a brand new 10 point jegs cage for it, and another t5 tranny that has a bad main shaft, do not need to sell, would like the extra cash, 3500 obo, or possibly trade for something of equal value

I might have to do this. I would strip everything out that doesn't make it go fast lol

Do it man. That can be your race car and the vert your show car.

that is my plan. I want the vert to look 5 Stars, and have a hard-top as a balls-to-the-wall racer. if i can get that 302 to redline at 8500rpm or so, and put out about 400rwhp when im done, that would be sweet.

ugh, the guy sold it and never took the listing off. but i did find another option.

a 1995 5.0 5speed, here is the details

Red in color black interior 302 5speed bbk headers offroad h pipe mac pro dumps new brakes all the way around new uper and lower control arms new clutch 99 cobra wheels 2.5inch mach 1 hood new rear end 2inch drop springs its loud and runs good $3000 firm got alot of money in the car that ill never get bak out of it

curb weight on these are 3077lbs, still not bad.

any pics of it... sounds like a great car to run...

no pics, he didn't answer his phone so i left a message. im gonna call again later tonight and see if he can email me some pics. All i have to do is get my money back out of the gsxr and an extra $500 and i can get that 95'. Auto insurance is $460 a year which isn't too bad

I will take that GSXR for $2500 if thats what you have in it. If of course something happens and the original owner doesnt take it back. Now that Scott has that R1 I would like to have another sport bike so I can keep up in the turns.

U can keep up. I will drive slow

I thought they were about 3500lbs+ so I looked it up. Looks like the GT coupe weighs just shy of 3300lbs. Still pretty damn light. I was suprised. The V6 coupe weighs 3077.

I hope you get it!!!

Good luck buddy, hope you get it.

lol sorry D-Rod, just called the guy and we are doing the exchange wednesday. for me letting him buy it back he said he'll help me with anything two wheel related if i ever need the help. so i'll get my $2500 back wednesday, get the extra $500 ready and i'll be good to go. hopefully the 95' stays till the weekend!

these pics were just posted

this guy won't answer any calls or emails. starting to tick me off

i like the car... looks good

Ok, the guy with the 95' never called so i guess he doesn't care. but i just got off the phone and im going to go check out his 1983 5.0 Hatchback GT tomorrow (friday), here is the listing on craigslist

1983 Mustang GT. HO 5.0 engine, 5 speed manual transmission, 30,000 mi. on engine rebuild, One owner

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

it comes with an extra hatch because the original is getting rust around the keyhole and glass. engine was rebuilt with new eddlebrock carb, new clutch when engine was rebuilt. really nice old man. i can't wait to see it.

best part......he is asking $2,000.00

and as many of these mustangs (not the 5.0) bodies out there should be fairly easy to get parts for- don't know how easy to find parts for the engine though- pics aren't real clear but looks like a decent deal- i like this style if your gonna race it for some reason- good luck
