Ok, here it is. 1985 Ford Mustang LX? GT? Don't know that part for sure.  Do know that this is going to be more or less an easy project for going fast. Still unsure of the engine that needs to go in it, color, and everything else. What I do know that getting parts for these is extremely easier than it is for the older Thunderbirds and Cougars.

  It runs real good, has 78000 original miles on it and is real fun to drive.  Let me know what you guys think. I like it cuz its a 4 eye and you don't see this style around here much. Enjoy.

Dude, I like that!  I can't want to start working on this thing. Of course, I need a house and a garage first.....and a job before that.

Oh yeah, this car is absolutely the worst in the snow. I cannot accelerate what so ever. Stupid carb setup. The next engine that goes in that car will be fuel injected.

um, it's not the carb that is the issue, it is the fact that it is a mustang....  they ALL suck in the snow, especially 12 second ones with 4.10's in the ass....  trust me.... LOL

Alright, the new project........

Reply #22
The carb that is on it is too big for the motor. If I try and feather the clutch out to get going just a little bit it will flood it out and die. so its balls to the walls or nothing.  But yeah, tis true, the trac loc, the weight, it just all sucks in the snow. For sure.
