Default Newbie in Springfield Mo

Looking for 87 to 92.
Need a project runner with a good back seat.

I had just picked up and 76-280z last year that needs some help.
Now the wife is pregnant, but she knows i want something to play around with - just needs a back seat for the new boy.

There is an 87 nearby that has under 100k - had front end damage repaired - will need paint and some body work, has the blue int.,
They are offering it with a gt hatch to rplace the rusty lx hatch, partial 5lug conversion parts and some shorties.

All for 1700.

Suggestions, ideas welcomed.

p.s. was always a chevy and nissan fan - this will be my first ford and am excited about the fox body.
Seems like you cant find faster cheaper fun then the fox.

Welcome to the forums!!! The fox bodies are alot of fun and cheaper when it comes to performance add-ons. The price seems alittle high if it needs body work.Maybe you can see if they will go alittle lower on the price.

Thanks, it looks straight in photos, (some primer) needs paint, and possibly headlights.
It also would come with a set of 17" 5 lug wheels.

Photos can make a stang look good until you see it in person. Really check the front end out underneath good when you see it. I had to replace the headlights on my 93 when I got it. Totally faded.

Forgot I started off over here. I finally picked up a 92lx hatchback

It has a the drivetrain from a 88 turbo coupe:
2.3 turbo
T5 tranny
8.8 posi

little rough here and there but overall a nice find i think.
Broke a handle on day 3 (of coourse)
got the new ones today.

Thanks for the welcome.
