So...I basically just lucked into a 1990 Mustang 5.0 GT.

I know almost nothing about what I've got other than it's got a half-cage, 3.73 gearing, larger fuel injectors, race pump (may have had a Procharger or Supercharger on it at some point)....

Anyway; I have a lot to learn about this car when it finally gets here, no idea what I'm going to do with it yet to be honest...

See if it spent most of its life in south jersey when you get the vin.. That car looks awfully familiar.

Seems like it'd be reasonable since the YouTube channel operates out of PA.

Strangely, I have family still in South Jersey, weird circles...

My advice
Fix it up and sell it
Buy one without a cage
They are usually hell getting in and out of with a cage ( and not a ton of fun to drive)
Unless you are going racing, then enjoy the crap out of it
