ok well i dont know how to post in the wanted mustang adds. so i will post here. im 14 and want to strat on a mustang. im looking for a fox body from 79-93. i want it to have a 5.0 and any transmission will work. would like a 5 speed. the miles on the car i really dont car becuase most likly it will be rebuilt to a 306. color dont matter because it will be getting a paint job soner or later and rims dont matter.

ALSO my dad has a 86 mustang that he would liek to get 2 more pony rims for. he is looking to pay 150 or so for just 2 of them with or without tires.


im looking to spend as cheap as possiable and it be in ohio somewhere. let me know what you have. i also have my 76 cobra to trade.

the way to go on these cars is fix all of the drivability stuff first then spend money on the motor. All of the car basics first, cooling, charging, make sure it is safe. Then do suspension, subframe connetors are a must, new shocks and spring are important, look into a coil over kit best money you can spend on a mustang imo.(Maximum Motorsports is the best source) do a 5 lug swap so you can put big brakes and whatever tires and wheels you like, then after all that stuff buy your motor. Trust me, you will be much happier with it, oh and get a 5sp or you will regret it, if you wanted one from the get go. Good hunting and welcome to the hobby

p.s don't be a dumbass and wreck your car becuase you were driving to fast like i did,that is all the sage advice i can offer, oh and no matter what have fun!!!
