Should have held out for a better deal, I bought my 87 GT with 52k for that price, and it needed nothing but a battery.
Bought an 88 LX 5.0 (pics)

hey man, if everyone turned their heads on project stangs, there would be way less stangs around. build her up nice and flaunt her to everyone! my first one was a rustang also, it had a rusty hatch. but it also had t-tops to make up for it.

Oh I totally agree, but there is somthing wrong with paying too much for a project.
every bit of it is surface rust...the only spot that has rusted through is that little spot...a grinder...and a welder will take care of that...he is putting the trans in and delivering it...has the receipt from jasper in the glove box..... its what i could find and what i could afford..yeah..now say i was on a 3,000 budget to buy the car i could of got a better one but i like this one..and in my head i know what it will look like when done... yeah looks like a piece now but...i like it...
and this is no rust compared to a couple others i was looking at for around the same price..

i wouldnt pay 1600 for it for the simple fact that it's a complete turd. i regret buying my 2.3LX and it's in much better shape... tranny isnt an issue 'cuz i prefer automatics.

i understand it's a project, i have one of my own. i was talking about the fact that you spent $1,600 fricken dollars on it. it's not me but if it was, i MIGHT have given $250 for it considering you could part it out and make that back.

I do have to say, if your not driving it now is a good time to take on a project. You should have lots of spare time, and if your working you will have money. The car has potential as does any Mustang out there, just need to get it and get to work.
It will be a LOT of work though, trust me!

yeah and that's what i wanted...a project...sometime that i can spend my spare time wisely on and have a good turn out in the end.

you must be new to the fox bodys and not undertstand that....there not as cheap as they once were... in the past 2 years prices have shot way up in my area...
well with that attitude you will never get a 5.0 for that price.. maybe a engine but not a whole car...

Get a glass one.
I think you could have done better for $1600 considering all the rust and the rust hole that no doubt has more rust deeper within it. But whatever, if your happy I guess thats all that matters. Just don't sell it after a few months like you seem to do more often then not.
