Picked up a red 89 notch tonight original v8 car pin straight red interior (yuck) Auto , bbk intake, 70 mm throttle body brand new bbk shorties , h pipe, and flow master cat back, 93 cobra reps.new radiator , new alt, new starter, underive pulleys not installed....
wanted 4800 i got it for 3800

The bad
Needs to be repainted- body is mint and pin straight but clear is flaking was repainted once.
Rear main leaking- no big deal putting my 5 speed from my 93 hatch in it.
Dry rotted window moldings- again taking from my green car

I believe i made out awesome similar cars are going for 6 k with mint paint in the area... so happy to be back in the game !!

That's a pretty sweet looking coupe! I just got back into the game too, although I still have the same car I've always had.

Looks sharp. I sometimes wish mine was an '89 so I could have the tilt steering feature back.

Gonna colour match the body mouldings when you do paint it?

my third fox first with a tilt and I love it , as far as color
match I'd like to keep it correct for the year and stay black but more than that have something to break the red up

thank god you didnt lol im glad i found it. it was literally 5 min from my job like i said looks great in pics but clear is peeling big in spots . i sat on it for a night and said to myself a clean coupe cant be passed up if i get it for the right price. if i didnt get it you were my next call and i was gonna put all my stuff from my 93 in it. cl in nyc is pretty bleek for clean cars these days

I really hate myself right now for letting this one slip by me. Damnit! At least it went to a good home.

Hey, why is it my fault that your forefathers weren’t bright enough to take the Kings English with them when they skipped the country 230 odd years ago?

BTW, when are you Neanderthals going to convert to the Metric System like the rest of the world already?
