save $1500 and buy a clean car...you won't regret it

if you go '89+ you'll have mass air, not a big deal to me...but bi gto some

my personal experience....'89 have most hp...i've owned 6 of 'em

no reason to accept rust.......

For your first car I wouldn't do it. Not knnocking you but you don't have the experience yet to take on something like this. Spend another $1K and you can get a fairly clean '89 and won't have to worry about spending money on fixing major issues. Unless you are extremely mechanically inclined and have the time, money, space and patience to do all the work to get that car back up it's not worth it. $1,200 seems a little high for a roller too, especially one with rust. Rust is a major problem and can cause major nightmares. There's always guys up in your area selling fox's for a good price, look around a little longer and don't rush into a sale just because you want a mustang.

thanks for the advise man

No problem, FWIW I found my '89 for $1,500, motor is great, with 3.73's, exhaust, with a straight body and no rust. It needs a little TLC interior wise and a paint job but I have the time for it and have been restoring and building cars for years. I've had many Mustangs and other vehicles and I don't need to rely on this one to get me places.

wow thats cool. ya i dont realy know where to look i have just been on like craigslist and ebaymotors any sugestions on where to look?

oh and by the way the guy is gunna send me pics of the 1990 lx tonight and i will post them tell me what you think but i will probly take your advise depending on what the engine problem is and how much rust is on the hatch.

Autotrader is always a good source and so are the forums. The classifieds here are good, Corral, Stangnet are a few good ones as well. Sometimes you will just find something even if you aren't looking for it. I just checked Autotrader real quick and there's a pretty nice 5.0 LX for $3,000 w/ some upgrades in Boston. I don't know how far you are from there but I'm sure you could talk that price down.
