91 Mustang 5.0

A friend of mine bought this car new in high school. never drove it just kept adding more and more parts over the years. then lost intrest. 5 years later i talk him into selling it to me.

Best of all (he is a true friend) bought the car for $2.500.. And has 42k original miles..

The car was put up almost 5 years ago, sat the whole time, never started once..
until 1 week ago...

I had to change all fluids, all new hoses, batt.,heater tube, & tires.. And i have to say she hasn't missed a beat..

so wait u bought the car 5years ago and just started it up last week?

 

A steal for sure, it's great to see one of those that isn't all rusted out with some high school kid driving it thinking he is the shit

 

Great Deal for the price...

I loved my last V8 ford...

 

No. I just bought it a week ago.

 

I'll give you 2600 for it

 

this way you can say you had a mustang that actually appereciated in value!

 

Careful... My girlfriend started driving her 93 Eclipse that was garaged for 7 years. Since her dad is a mechanic he replaced pretty much everything.

Be sure to watch out for rust in the gas tank... check your pump and filters to make sure that junk is clean...

 

Oh yeah, and congrats on getting the new ride for such a low cost.

42k miles for $2,500, must've been a great friend

 

how much horsepower/torque would u say that car has

 

Drive it to the DFW meet today (friday)! Check the DFW thread man

 

i not a fan of that body, but that 5.0 has a kick...

 

Wow, a fox body with a great body and low miles. I'd keep that thing gorever and take it out seldomly.

 

Beautiful car. I'd love to get my hands on one of those... $2500 is a steal.

 

i love fox bodies.

p.s. there's a lot of people i've never heard of posting in this thread.

 

Looking on eBay right now...that car would sell for $7500+ easy.

 

My friends a dealer and he can't keep a nice 5.0 on his lot. That car would sell for at least $7,000 here.

 

The more i look the more i realize how good of a deal i got..

 

MMMMMMM... frosted headlights.

 

those fuckers are bulletproof. a blast to drive and cheap to fix. you got an awesome deal on it

 

Arent those the ones that you can steal in like 2 secs, cuz they didnt ground the battery correctly???

 

WOW that's highway robbery for that car. You can easily sell some the mods for that price. I am not a fan of the GT, but would die for a Coupe in that condition for that price.

 

I always thought they were ugly as sin but that is in great condition and those 5.0's were SO fast, im sure with the mods its really quick

 

I have a friend that has a 93 coupe 5spd all stock, 72k miles,almost as good cond. $4.500..

p.s. I added some interior pics.. (of my car)

 

You got an AMAZING deal!

With the mods done, you should be running strong! Try svtperformance.com ....you'll find alot of info!

 

is it mean?

 

you should wetsand and polish that headlamp up. give it a nice crystal shine to it so that it would go well with that near mint condition body

interior looks clean as well. where's the engine pics??

 

what are you talking about? every single person that posted before you has like 2,000 more posts than you do. hahaha

and most of them are originals and theyve been around for years..

 

After wetsanding what kind/brand of polish should i use?

A few motor pics::http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/scott_hntn/my_photos

 

no it's nice.. but doesn't play well with others...

 

novus 3 step plastic polish. you dont have to go this crazy, but for the best renewing results, this is the way to go!
http://www.noscratch.com/novus

it'll make the finest of scratchest come out. once you use this stuff after wetsanding, it'll look like there's no headlamp lens cover at all!! you just see the bulbs and the reflections inside the headlamp!

or if you dont want to go for the whole 3 step kit, you can go for the plexus plastic cleaner.

http://www.plexusplasticcleaner.com/

this stuff is the lazy way to get the clearest and best results without going all out. you use it like windex. spray on, wipe off with soft cloth. once you do that, it cleans, polishes, and then leaves a nice protectant layer over the plastic. its like the 3 step thing, but all in one easy spray.


and btw that is a clean ass motor for a car thats as old as that.. definitly nice

 

here are the results







the lens part is so clear that it just reflects anything.. plus when you look directly into my headlamp it looks like there's no lens there.

dont mind the scratches around the headlamp though, someone tried to steal my headlamp a few years ago.

oyeah forgot to mention. i have a 99TL. which means its nearing its 8th year now. before i wetsanded and polished it, it looked like your mustang's, except not as bad. but look at it now! almost looks as if i bought it brand new. or even better than new!
