I love the notch Fox platform Mustangs. Nearly bulletproof powertrains with plenty of aftermarket support. Parts, whether performance orientated or factory, are plentiful and cheap. I've owned a couple throughout the years and they've always been a tremendous amount of fun. Performance gains can be had with relatively few dollars. I'm not sure of the price, but it does include a few goodies. If you plan to buy one, make sure its 89' or newer so it will have the mass airflow sensor instead of speed density. Much more adaptable to modifications. Southernboy has built one or two as well, so hopefully he can offer some insight.

.Just kidding, I think they're great cars. I've mostly owned the performance domestic stuff, with the odd European from time to time. Being an old man, and growing up when the old warriors were relatively cheap, got me hooked. My Accord is my first Honda product however, and after two and half years of ownership I know it won't be my last.

I went to go look at it since its my buddys friend who is selling.
It needs work cosmetically since it was a repaint. It used to be red. The interior is pretty clean but theres no headunit. Would have to find one. Of course the front, trunk and rear bumper need painting. Me think this car isnt worth $4k at all, the guy did offer to trade me for the BMW e24 for his mustang.
The car drives like nothing im use to. It hauls major ass and basically made me shit my pants.
Not sure if this type of car is for me... could i get use to it? 
Trunk was open, thats why it looks misaligned.

I also got laughed at trying to get use to the clutch 
I totally stalled it 5 times in a row.
Should i offer him $3k or keep looking for one with better paint. Luckily i trust the guy since my good friend has been friends with him for years. So i know i wouldnt be screwed.

www.hondaswap.com is fantastic!
How about buying a 96 hatch and swapping in a JDM K20A2. No but seriously, that is a rediculously fast combination. Good luck with the 5.slow though

Its not THAT bad looking, and paint may do wonders for it. Any other modifications besides those mentioned. Factory clutch? Differential? Don't worry about stalling it. Not too familiar with the cam mentioned, but it may have definitely moved the powerband up. Three grand for a toy might not be too bad if the rest of the car is straight. From the looks of it however, and the modifications mentioned, it may not be a real enjoyable driver. Looks like the beginnings of a fun track car though.

Keep in mind a good paint job and bodywork could run you $3-4K. If you buy it for $4K you'll be in to it $7K+. Just playing the devils advocate here because you could end up putting a lot into it and not being able to get your money back if you sell it.

Fun to drive if no one sees you. IMO it is ugly as sin, but I never liked the fox nothcbacks for their looks at all. New paint and it would look okay, I'd go black on that car.

I personally love Camaro SS, the latest model 1998~2002 versions but it's much more expensive than the older boxer mustangs where you can get them for less than $5000.
good luck

That's a mighty fine SC there. 5-spd?
Anyways... yeah, for the price and "mod-ability" the Mustang is very hard to beat. I just threw out those 2 suggestions as a more sedate option, and something that can be driven daily if the need be.

I thought about the E30 but like the E24, they are both too much like the "Audi". They are nothing fast but handle great. I do have a chance to pick up a 87 M6 for $5k but it needs more engine work than i want to spend on. I thought parts would be cheaper for an old bmw, but i was wrong.
My audi handles really well but isnt fast. I would like something to fill that void.
Think im going through a quarter-life crisis. Just call me nickypass

3K is a good price considering that the car has roughly 2K in mods. It needs paint and a new hood. That cowl hood is ugly!!!
The good thing is that Mustang parts are cheap and readily available.

^ yea i dont like the cowl hood unless there was a SC under it. He said i most likely can i just trade someone who wants it and take their OEM hood.
Either way the hood needs a repaint since the color is off.
