Plan of attack IMO? Get a pre-'86 LX sedan(ex-state trooper car would be ideal), since they're still carbureted and the sedan platform the stiffest of the Foxes, keep the cost(and it would be DIY friendly) down and make a bad-*** 5.0L with a crazy carb set-up(cheaper to set-up than EFI). Less parts to go bad, eliminates the need to depend on electronics to control your weekend beast.
Maybe convert a super cheap cost 4 cylinder sedanto stroker power? Do it all yourself and you could build a sweet track car for under $7K Good luck!

I am looking for a weekend track car, autocross, drag, rally... what ever the envent is .. I just want to have fun , with out using my 05 GT. What you guys think would be a good starter car to F/I on, and suspention... for the track
There's a nice looking foxbody on Hwy 16 (Penny farms), that's a few miles west of green cove springs off of hwy 17. Might be worth a drive, you can't miss it, it's parked facing the hwy. Looked nice, white, pretty sure it was a 89 gt, but i'm no good with years. I wanted to stop, but I know my wife didn't, we were on the way to a dentist appointment anyway.

Now that I look, it could be between an 88 and 93 for all I know.

Let me know how much they want for it.
