Found This Little Guy on Saturday!

As i was driving out in BFE on my way to my wifes grandfathers house I stumbled upon this notch back just sitting in the grass. When I drove by the first time I didnt see a for sale sign but thought i would look any way. And got to looking at it and the guy wants a $1000 for it, and yes it is an original 5.0 notch i checked the vin. It is alittle rough do to sitting and the NW ohio winters but overall not to bad off, the worst of the rust that is on it is in the floor board and the trunk lid. But i might buy it and fix the rust and use it as a DD. It would do great on gas compared to my Bronco.

I'll take it!!

An all original 5.0 notch is worth more than that even with a little rust. Great find!

MyHoFoSho · May 3, 2011

oh yeah all original down to the stock air pump and all 4 cats still on it. This car was never beat on other than miss treated and being left out side to rot.. But the floor board on the driver side is rotted out bad, like the seat has fallin it to the hole and the trunk lid it tottally F-ed. But I was just talking to the owner and i can pick it up for $700 now. I think i am going to buy it to bad its an auto.

i would offer 500 maybe... looks to be a good start as long as the rust monster didn't get the car too bad.

bgoins · May 3, 2011

Heck ya! What r ur plans for it besides the floorboard and usual new used car stuff?

MyHoFoSho · May 3, 2011

the rust is not to bad the strut towers look good some rust under the master cylinder and the plans would be make it relible enough to drive it every day it needs a tune up and exhaust the headers are leaking really bad and full x pipe and exhaust other little things. but for the most part it would be the driver. Oh and the ac and air pump would go bye bye

700 is fair if its all there, probably could source a 5spd swap for the same price, the car would be worth around 5k all fixed up so dont start feeling bad until your into it for that

aar0s · May 3, 2011

great save on that one. Even if the floor pans are shot its worth that for the other parts.

MyHoFoSho · May 3, 2011

yeah the driver side pan is bad just on the back side by the driver seat and the pass side looks great no real rust at all.

myslo50 · May 3, 2011

i looked at that car too. its has cancer pretty bad. $700 is a decent price but theres alot of work involved. i would say roughly 2k worth of metal if bought new. maybe $1500 if you found used parts and if you put countless hours into body work and paint. but on the other hand its a 5.0 notchback.......

Rick 91GT · May 4, 2011

If you don't get it let me know

MyHoFoSho · May 4, 2011

Hey rick I think i am going to pass on it...I have just have to much going on with my 90 lx hatch to buy something else that is going to take away from what i really want to do. So its all yours i can give you the location on where its at and the owners name if you like..

Rick 91GT · May 4, 2011

SMOKEDYA · May 4, 2011

peace

im a sucker for a coupe. being a factory 5.0L just sweetens the deal. foxes in general here in ohio are getting hard to find in decent shape let alone a v8 coupe. great find .hope it finds a home where she gets some love.

citmov · May 5, 2011

I'd be very thorough with checking the car underneath if the car has been sitting in grass for a long time. Just my 2 cents.

90lxcoupe · May 5, 2011

Some people dont care about rusty floors if they plan on going 8.50's or faster, just going to cut the floors out anyways
