There are still deals to be found out there

Mstng93SSP · Dec 2, 2019

Just as an interesting note, there are still deals out there if you look long enough. My friend just picked up a 1988 5.0 coupe from the original owner. The owner, an older guy had put a GT40 crate engine in the car a few years ago. Car is totally rust free and the interior is VERY nice! My friend saw him driving the car and he followed him home. The guy was wanting to sell it but didn't really know how to use craigslist etc.

4k.....

Damn man! What a score! Looks like my old coupe. It was full of rust, sold it to a guy that was going to fix it. Drove up from Dallas and drove it home. He was supposed to keep me updated on his progress. He never did.

Mstng93SSP · Dec 2, 2019

Yeah, if my friend didn't buy it I would have (even though I have 3 already). This car is super clean!

BlakeusMaximus · Dec 2, 2019

CAn you get some more pics of it?

Mstng93SSP · Dec 2, 2019

Yes. I will post them a little later.

Damn.

That's one of those prices where even if I wasn't looking for one, i would have bought it anyway.

Mstng93SSP · Dec 2, 2019

Yeah, me too.

Nice score! Stick or auto?

Mstng93SSP · Dec 2, 2019

AOD, 2800 stall, valve body. He has a tremec 3550 setup we are going to swap. Here is a walk around video. Will post more pictures later. This was a steal at 4k

Got mine for $400. 93 coupe 2.3, 5 speed. It remains a 2.3 as well but it runs now.

About $900 total invested including the engine work (it is now a 2.3T). Tried to sell it a half dozen times, but it needs paint/body. Two things going against it. 2.3 and paint/body. Nobody wants it for what I was asking, so you ya know what? I'll keep it and drive it until the pigs begin to fly. Cheaper than a new one!

Oh wait I had to put $40 into it the other day. Bought some seats out of a 2008 or 09 Mustang and put those in.

And some might remember we talked a while ago about what the little spring thing was on the lug wrench? I said it held the stock wheel locks. Well lookie here....amazing.

Mstng93SSP · Dec 3, 2019

Oh, and this car was garage kept all it's life.

BlakeusMaximus · Dec 3, 2019

I had a set of those wheels and sold em with my 88 vert about 5 years ago. Seemed like every fox had them those wheels years back. I had them on my car for years so I was kinda bored with em. They are starting to grow on me again.

Always wondered what that spring was for.

AOD and no cruise? That's a rare combo. That's how my car came configured and i've never seen another one like it.

That motor looks beefed up with intake and possible headers. How does it go . Should be pretty fast. Like the cleanliness.

JD1964 · Dec 3, 2019

Missing the side molding on the passenger door and quarters. Any body filler on that side?

Mstng93SSP · Dec 3, 2019

No filler. The seller gave boxes of parts including the side moldings and windshield and rear window trim. Yes its a factory 5.0. car. The engine is a GT40 crate engine with the x306 aluminum heads and e cam.

Transformation started today. Swapped in his 5 lug/disc rear axle and I swapped in the 5 speed pedals.
