I should write him a check today!

1988 Mustang Convertible 5.0

Some people are freaking delusional. $1400 for that? I'd offer $200, but I think I'd be overpaying!

I think this is the second time this guy has listed that on Craigs List. Wasn't it listed for more than that?

$2,500 sounds about right.

Holy crap!! $1400 for THAT rustbucket?? Wow.... suddenly my 92 don't seem in all that bad of condition any more... seriously.. If it were me, i'd sell it for parts. That thing would probably cost over $3k just to restore.. and god knows what lurks beneath the floorboards .. hell, you'd probably fall through the floor

If in the unlikely event that is only surface rust and everything on the bottom looks good, I would buy it but I am sure that is a cancer that has spread deep and far.

Restorers dream? Most restorers try to find the vehicle that needs the least amount of work, not the most. MORONS!

Where is that car being sold? I'm sure it's one of the northern states that heavily rely on road salt. I used to live in Mi. . My 88 4 holer was getting rust in those very same spots. The engine was bad. Sold it for $100

Top in good condition? Back window vinyl is all torn...

Someone wanna prank email this numbnut and play his own game? lol
