oh yeah! lol i forgot about that. mine left me stranded only once coming to school cuz of the timing belt. change it as soon as you can. gave me a scare when it snapped off. but mine was the original timing belt from 93 lol. it was cracked everywhere

Not a bad snag, though I could think of quite a few other cars that I would rather have for a DD. As much as I would love to always drive a Mustang in some form regardless of the purpose or the price of gas, I can definitely say that I'd prefer my $2000 Volvo over a 2.3 Mustang. Leather, heated seats, moonroof, 4-doors, a real trunk, etc etc etc AND a 5-speed, still getting 25mpg, which is about all you will see with that 2.3. The fact that it is a Mustang, RWD and 5-spd all together is nice to have, but I like some comfort in my DD as well. That and 88hp would make me want to hang myself. I have had 2 different 2.3 Mustangs, but both have had turbos. But who knows, maybe I am just getting old...

Nice find. IF gas goes down, that's a great car for a 5.0L 5 speed swap!!!!!!!!!!

Gas will never go down enought to cause somene to do a swap.

Ummm ... didn't pretty much all of the '87+ four-banger 'Stangs come with an electric fan from the factory? Or am I thinking of the '90+ models?

Either way, nice score.
