lol.tell the guy he is an idiot fore trying to take advantage of you. 79-86, all mustangs had 4 headlights. 87-93, all had the aero nose with a single headlight houseing.

Except for the svo's had 1 headlight housing too. i forgot.

i know it should be a 4 eye but the front and the back look liek "LX 5.0"'s but the VIN says its a 86 i dnt know maybe the previous owner changed the front and the rear because i know the fox bodys where interchange able

Some one could have swapped before that idiot got it but id back off and look elsewhere because you never kno wat else he is hiding bout the car. but the "secret car" is BS. if your set on getting this car then carfax mab to see if its been wrecked

he could have done a front end conversion to them, i see that on a lot of supposed to be four eyes, people actually like the new look better than the four eye
as far as the "special stang" there were none except saleen so if it is not a saleen then he is messin with you

just be careful man. match the vin and title and make sure the vin is tagged on the dash with a rivit with a octogon design cut in them.
