Title: 87 Sport F/S Not Running $500
Post by: Dogcharmer on December 09, 2011, 04:40:42 PM
I'm in Springtown, Tx (close to Fort Worth) and need this car gone. It is NOT running and will have to be towed. The driveshaft is still disconnected from the last move. Last I checked a U-haul car dolly is around $65 bucks. The wife has put her foot down and I can only have one project. So about the car...

It's a 87 Sport with no rust and a straight body. There are a few hail dings but not a lot. It would be a great parts/project car for cheap because I'm only asking $500

Front Suspension: MM camber plates, TC 11" brake conversion, Urethane swaybar bushings, TC springs.

Rear Suspension: TC springs, 3.55 TC 8.8 rear with disk brakes, 20K miles on rebuilt traction lok.

Tranny is an AOD from GER with the 2.84 wide ration gear set and non lock-up convertor with 2000 stall.

Engine is a partially disassembled 5.0 E6 block (flat tops) with E7 heads, HO cam. I have all the parts not on the car and all the hardware is bagged and labeled. Its got 19# injectors and stock HO headers with a stock HO mustang cat pipe and dual Magnaflow lers. The EEC IV is a speed density EEC from an 88 mustang.

If you're near north Texas this car may be for you :)

Save your money! I’d hate to see her go to the s yard but I don’t think she’s got much more time with the wife breathin down my neck, lol…

Lots of great parts on it.  You’d probably double your money parting it out. I wish I could but my wife wants the whole car gone.

BTW, Vinnie, your car looks awesome. I remember when you were still collecting parts for it. Great work!

To be fair on my wife... She's going to buy me an engine (probably a 347, maybe a 408) for my 86 on the condition that the 87 disappears. She's not a total tyrant, lol....

Understand that. Gotta give a little to get a little. LOL

Hope you find a good home for the bird. I'd be dragging it home if it was closer.

Nice GL with sale, I'd have no way to get it, but it wouldn't be a bad deal at all.

If I didn't have a four month old son, and an empty engine bay, I'd be on my way.

Have you tried CL?
