Thanks bro, I appreciate it. I felt like I got some an amazing deal. I'm just so broke right now that I can't do anything to it I would like until next spring! But it's in almost perfect condition paint and motor wise so I can't complain too much!

That's a nice looking car. How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking.

I don't mind one bit. First he quoted me 4,000, but that was before he did any research towards it and then we settled on 4,400. I don't like the fact he switched on me, but I understand and he's a co-worker so I don't want any bad feelings. Even at 4,400 I feel like I got a great deal. There's only a few bad spots on the paint, the interior and engine bay are flawless. The only thing wrong with it is the passenger side actuator (surprise surprise).

dude that is one of the cleanest fox body stangs with the lowest miles i have ever seen. i payed 4k for mine, a 1990, and it had at the time arround 100k miles, some small rust spots. the engine is in perfect condition. but that was a GREAT find for you. Congrats on your new 5.0 and have fun.

Thanks man! Sounds like you got a good deal yourself! I know it was a good deal when I sold my 1988 LX w/ 140k miles for 4k a year ago, lol. It's just been sitting in his garage the past 13 years so I need to flush all the fluids and all that good stuff.

I'm getting a nice variety of synthetics to put in, but I'm leaning towards the synchromesh for now, thanks guys!
