This has mega fail written all over it.

Its primered with a hood that doesn't match.

Why is the rear so high?

Why is the engine assembled with the intake on backwards?

Those fugly seats won't do any good without a roll bar.

The interior is basically gutted. Where is the center console. Why is there no shifter.

I'm willing to bet you will have an enormous amount of electrical problems. This guy has half *** written all over it.

Intake is backwards cuz i think that motor is not a mustang motor...it probably belongs to a ford pickup which could lead to it not being an HO motor.

be patient when making ur decision...u don't want to jump onto something that u will regret later then YOU will have to be at a loss. i know u didn't ask but in my opinion i would grab a 1979 mustang either gt or lx and put ur 429. i know its a 4-eye stang but it will be lighter than that 88 lx for sure. i would trade my 89 lx body for a 79 body in a split second...i guess cuz i like 4 eye stangs

Lol, 1100 is ridiculous.. You could get a very clean looking shell for that price and would only need to drop in a drivetrain..

^^I agree.. I would look elsewhere man. You could even buy a running (4 cly fox) and put a V-8 in it and still come out ahead..

I would rather own a 4 eyed mustang 85-86 is my favorite but people around me think there worth there weight in gold that's why I can only find these POS for $1k this sucks being on a high school budget

If you like the car and can't really afford much more then the $600 you thought wouldn't be too bad. You might be able to find something nicer for not a whole lot more though if you're patient.
