Turbo 4 Cylinder. 5 Speed, T-tops, TRX Wheels, Originally dark grey & silver. Grey interior. A/C, P/S, P/B, CC, TILT WHEEL, with 66k miles on it. Needs a full tuneup and a lil love to be driven.

Body is straight and about 75-80% Rust free. Im stoked to start on something different :)

That guy have anything else, I can get a ton of mustang parts?

Nice score, I have been looking for one of those but with the 5.0., should be a fairly simple resto.

yea found it on FEP. :)

just got her into her new dry home in my carport out back. Now I gotta order some ttop weather stripping, tune up parts, find my 10holes to throw on for now. I have a little bit of body work to do later on it on the rear pass. 1/4 panel but it should only take about a day or so hopefully if all goes as planned.

It's doing okay, it hasn't been driven since early June. It'll be getting historics in a week so I can start driving it again.
