1985 from new jersey
i just bought a 1985 mustang on sunday. idk if its an lx or gt. it has a factory 302 bored .30 over edelbrock intake 4 barrel carb and cam has shorty headers and a bbk xpipe with cats and flowmaster supper 44's with 3 1/2" magnaflow tips. its a 5spd. with new clutch. 373 rear with traclok. it has brand new firestone tires front and rear with pony wheels. has sony hu with new amped front and rear speakers. sounds decent.i paid $400 for it. because the interior needs a complete redo, headliner is falling down. carpets are stained to high hell, seats ripped yet comfortable. it doesnt have power windows, locks. also the rear hatch doesnt close right... ya have to like push it in towards front of car to get it to latch but it doesnt fully latch.. these are problems i feel should be easily addressed. i will post pics tomorrow i just got a new phone too and have to learn to set it up... another question i have is i dont see any gas tank door popper switch anywhere, and no hatch switch... .
it will be a weekend driver mabye some track time.... id like to pull the motor and clean it up nice and paint it, get the ac working, paint whole car a metal flake orange, redo the interior with tan everything. replace bucket seats, im not sure if its a 5lug it has pony wheels so if not convert to 5 lug and new breaks, suspension... it'll be just a fun all around car...
a little about myself, im 25 i have a live in gf (LOL) we been going togather for 5 years, and a 9month old son. we currently reside in an apartment but i make closing on my first house on april 15th... i am by trade a UNION Heat & Frost Insulator local 89 out of Trenton/ Atlantic City. i make a great salary with full benefits.... as most say in out trade. " Best Part Time Job Ever!"
i drive a 2005 ford escape as my dd and i do offroad it quite a bit. its a fun suv. i've owned countless ford trucks and cars. this is my first mustang. very excited. my other hot rod was a 96 tbird 4.6 5spd...
