Picked up a nice little gem tonight... (new rims...PICS)

Me and my buddy went on a 4 hour cruise and picked up this nice little score...
















It is an 83, with some nice options, and pretty much RUST FREE, with just a few tiny spots to deal with...  car came to Canada from Texas in '95 and was undercoated yearly since then...

I am posting this because he said it is mine when he gets bored of it, which knowing him will be in less then a months time!  :bowdown:

Plans call for a built Carbed 5.0L/T5/and 8.8" with 4.10's and much more...

Will post better pics tomorrow after we spend the day cleaning the undercoating off it...  Should have kept those GFX I sold to Bear.....  DAMMIT! LOL

I love the turbines! Looks right at home sitting next to your other Cougar.

Your truck's mirror should say "Objects in mirror are more beautiful than they appear" :rollin:

It's missing some trim ;)

Looks to be a nice score. How's the underbody? Any bad rot?

no....  NO RUST... LOL, this thing makes mine look like , LOL.

The underneath is SOAKED in undercoating though, it is going to take weeks to get it all off....

I wouldn't take it off if i were you. Keep it undercoated. There's a lot of moisture in your yard.
