While it is technically a Fox Chassis, it isn't a Mustang.
1980 Fairmont Futura! I had one of these as my first car. I have been looking for only 2 weeks. I posted a CL add looking for one a guy had one close to where I grew up. The wifey and I drove over there today to look at it and it has been sitting since 2003. the shock towers are in great shape, the floor is a little bad in some places typical for fox cars. The trunk is perfect with a little scale in the spare tire well. I paid only $200 for it. I think I am going to swap in the 87-93 stuff from my 93 for the dash. Build a nasty little 302, and I just picked up another V8 T5 for almost free (better deal then the $7.30 T5 from last week).
I am going to do 5-lug swap, nice interior, sick engine, and 5-speed (as they are falling from the heavens like mana). I am so happy! What do you all think? give me some ideas for this thing...
