Just pulled up at home with my new, to me, car. It's a 83, 5.0, rattle can black, tranny is in the trunk, interior is..... well it is.....

So happy to finally find a Notch back!!! Needs alot of TLC and fire breathed into it, but that's what weekends are for!

Sounds like a project! Be sure to also sign up at 4eyedpride for specific information. Unless you plan on converting to aero or something (don't go there)...

It is a project, a buddy and I are doing a joint venture. Not sure if we're gonna change it or not...

Cool car! If I had to start over, I'd like a coupe 4 eye.

Congrats! 4 eyes are the only way to go.

If you decide to go aero, than just take the skirts and wing, but leave the front off - keep it a 4 eye!

Dont give it contacts .... *crickets*

Congrats on the notch purchase. I just traded off my '95 GT for an '86 GT and havent looked back one minute. I love the foxes, wish I could have stumbled across a notch like you did.

Thanks. I thought I knew a little about these Fox's and this 83 is teaching me so much more!

Thanks for that idea. We'll have to figure it out down the road.

Thanks, but it was no stumble. I had been combing Craigslist for 2 months. This was the forth Fox that I attempted to purchase. Third Notch, and they are usually sold within 48 hrs of being posted!
