That’s a very yellow coupe. How long have you had it? 42 year old Fox Mustangs are few around here.

Literally just picked it up a week ago for $1500 all the glass and trim are in excellent condition and only bad rust is in the deck lid

If a convertible lid with the rack on it will fit, that would help the stealth look. Someone has a take off one here. I’d be looking for a set of 10 holes off a Mustang or a T-Bird for 15” rims. I suppose the break upgrade might make that a bad lug choice, but it is a good look.
