I told you, they made 100 1992 lx's that were vibrant red, 265 hp, 5 speed, sun roof, all black interior, 5 star pony wheels, and factory fog lights. I have all the documentation from ford reseach unit at customer relations. This is a rare car my friends. Oh, is that a big ol dent in the door drop top LOL (just kidding, but get that taken care of). FORD told me of the stock 265 hp.

dude...that sounds like BS...the Cobra only made like 235 right? and your claiming an LX to make 265? Mustangs didn't get 265 untill the new edge. (well, GT's didn't any way, don't know about Cobras)

I got to call bs on that one...
