well, by now I've spammed this all over the mustang community, but i'm excited, and it'll be new for many of you. I JUST bought this 83 5.0 ttop coupe, stole it for $900 running with a rebuilt 5.0 with only 20 miles on it! Body is straighter than hell, interior just about mint. The bad? it's got a salvage title because it was junked for having a bad motor at one time, but bought back b4 it was crushed apparently, no biggie. LOL, a month ago I bought an 82 5.0 coupe also, which compliments my 86 vert, and now I've got to decide which to get rid of

anyhow, some pics

thanks, but I don't like the 87 dash's, a little too ford tempoish for me, and the nose is def staying 4 eyed.

However I am only "considering" a black or grey interior swap and a different paint color if I keep this, I'm just not sure yet.

BLASPHEMER!!!!!!!!!




WHY for the love of all that is holy, would he want to deface it like that if its so rare??? I can understand upgrading the interior but not the front end.

Don't take this personal. I have a Capri that my X turned into a Mustang. I feel sad every time I look at it.

Oh, Nice score v8only!

Part out or sell the 82 coupe. Sell me the console delete shifter boot and e-brake boot cheap cause I have been looking for them for a couple years.

Then, take the 83 t-top apart, paint it white, keep the grille, headlight molding, side moldings, and 1/4 window moldings black, install 85-86 gt interior, pick out some wheels you like, and make us all jealous.

part the 82? shoot, that thing is way too rare to strip, a virgin body, decent interior (except for the seats) and only 106 miles on the body, option delete car, easily one of a few hundred made.

why do you have problems finding the console delete stuff? I have console delete parts laying all over my garage from the junkyard.
