Default Crap.....

I hate my addiction to cars... I really do sometimes...

I stumbled across this lovely 1986 mustang... Nothing wrong with it other than a bad flywheel ring (so it wont turn over) but it's in great shape for the price...

Front bumber is broken all over the place but all/any rust on it is just surface... Non is through...

Should I buy another mustang for my stable? It wont be able to stay at my place but I can store it at a friends lot about an hour away from me...

The price is $170, I'm wanting to drop in either a 351W or a 327 chevy my dad has sitting in his garage collecting dust.

Anyways the car looks like crap and it will stay that way because it would be the perfect sleeper

so what would you guys do?

What the hell, might as well buy it. If it were me I'd buy it and drop in a 351W, but then there's a lot to be said for another 2.3T.

Heck buy it sounds like body better than yours. Swap all over and sell your car parts and make money.

Been there had it happen. Seen a ad for a SVO 50miles away. Bad motor [rod knock]. 1700 dollars pictures looked good. Also too late. Wife would have shot me. Oh well would have fixed it and sold it. Too many toys.
