Title: trade my mustang for this?? *new pics 12-20*
Post by: Live Fast on December 20, 2009, 12:31:24 AM
I have a chance to trade my 1989 Mustang for this 1984 Convertible with a 2.3 Turbo Swap. Good looking swap too. I have looked at the car and driven it. Runs smooth and pretty quick. My first time driving a 2.3T. I like the car alot. He even went as far as swapping the dash, console, seats, and rear end. The TC was there on site and TOTALED! He got every usable part off of it as possible. Even swapped the steering column and got the TC scoops and molded them into the stock mustang hood.

Here it is, Let me know what you guys think!

Gee, almost everything I like about the TC wrapped in a 4-eyed mustang body? What are you waiting for.

Thats what im thinking! I want a TC but cant let go of my Mustang's but this would be perfect for me. I get everything from the TC wrapped up in a Mustang. Just wondering what everyone thought.

That would be the ONLY Stang ragroof I'd ever own...get it, like yesterday!

Also, more pics...
And...the hell with anyone who says it's "Just a Mustang." :flip:

At least the guy didn't trash a decent TC just for the drivetrain. :bowdown:

What are ya lookin' for? Flakes? Turbines?

What size are the BBS wheels? Does the thing have the 11" front brakes? (assuming it does since the ad mentions abs...)

I have a set of snowflakes on my car right now, a little curb rash on a couple of them, have all caps. the front tires are pretty good, with 75% tread, the backs were just cheapies I bought somewhere just to move the car around on. Bad thing is, shipping would cost a fortune lol

 it, why can't I be close to all the good stuff :hick:

it's the price I pay for my isolation though...

Just look over it good. A conersion like that takes a lot of work and so forth. Make sure everything seems to work as it should. You don't want to get stuck with something that nothing works, you know?

I have never seen fox 79-93 convertible with my own eye and I think I would buy it as a nice summer car for few years. I still like fox thunderbirds more than stangs. I say good luck with thinking. Looks like a very nice car.

I bet that is a very light set-up. I'm kinda jealous.

It looks like a nice car. It looks well built in the pics, but I guess it's hard to tell for sure. If you've seen it in person, driven it, and own/owned the cars you have, I don't think you need our advice. Just go with your gut (and GET it)!!
