Name: Don
Location: East Earl, PA
Price: $1500
Car: This is my 1988 Mustang 5.0. I bought the car as a project. It came into my possession as a rolling chassis. The previous owner had said that the original motor had ate a lifter. They had purchased another motor and it came with the car when I bought it. The car as it sits right now does not currently run as I have the driver side head off. It did run for a short time but I noticed that coolant was coming out of the driver side header. I did a compression test, 130 across the board. I did the head gasket and intake gasket on that side, same problem. As it currently sits, the head is off as I was going to purchase one but then lost interest.
Engine:
Fresh engine to my knowledge. With the head off you can clearly see it has hyper sealed power pistons, walls look good, no ridge etc. I noticed once the intake came off that this was NOT a roller motor.
Speed density car
Ford Racing A/C delete
New power steering pump
New tensioner pulley and belt
2 New NTK o2 sensors
New starter
Pacesetter shorties
Offroad X that came with the car
Flowmaster catback
Big aluminum radiator, Ford blue silicone hoses, 180 thermostat, new water outlet.
Underdrive crank and water pump pulley
New balancer
Transmission:
Claimed it was a newish T5.
Zoom Pressure plate, centerforce disc
Couldn't really drive it, but backing it into the drive way and going forward, no issues, no grinding
New Ford Racing clutch fork and cable with adjustable quadrant. It needs a firewall adjuster, the clutch grabs too high.
New tailshaft seal
Short throw
Fresh fluid when it was put into the car
Differential:
New pinion seal and blew out the vent for the diff as it seems like it was plugged up.
Pulled the cover, everything looked great but couldn't tell gear ratio, I assume it's stock.
Resealed it up and put in new fluid and friction modifier.
Exterior:
Saleen wing (sitting in the corner of the garage, I planned to fill the holes drilled by the previous owner)
Cervini cowl hood
Smoked head lights, cobra front bumper
LX tail lights
Rolling around on GT wheels in the front and 4 cylinder wheels in the back. I didn't really care much for wheels until the car was moving so i had these on it to move it in and out of the garage.
There is no typical door bottom rust and the floor pans are solid. There was some surface rust on the driver side floor pan that I wire wheeled and sealed up. The seals around the doors are new as well as both seals around the sunroof. I pulled the quarter window and resealed them as well. No leaks anymore.
Interior:
Gutted but everything is boxed up. All the interior trim I removed myself with trim removal tools because I am anal. You will need carpet and a headliner. You will need a dashpad and those center a/c vents. I don't have a driver seat because it was trashed and I planned on doing aftermarket ones.
That's all I can think of at the current moment. It's a solid car, minimal rust and i mean minimal. It is an oddly optioned car as well, has a sun roof but roll up windows. No cruise, no power locks. Previous owner had spray painted it black, The car was put together with care and it shows (at least the stuff i did that is). You can reach me @ 6317074323. I put so much time, money and effort to getting it to the point it is right now and I have just lost interest to be honest.
