I picked up a 85 coupe
 
I've been wanting a 4 eyed coupe for quite some time and just bought this one 2 days ago. It was originally a 4 cylinder car, but has been swapped to a fuel injected 89-92 Mustang 302 motor with the mass air harness and A9L computer I put a starter on it last night and it fired right up and runs good from what I can tell so far, held 50+ pounds of oil pressure. It's not a looker, but I'm gonna start sanding it the rest of the way down and paint it soon. The interior still needs finished, but I thought it was cool that it had the 87-93 dash swapped in and everything is hooked up and working. It's just a stock 302 with gt40 heads, longtubes, h-pipe, Flowmasters dumped, and an old 4 speed manual from a 82 gt.

I'm hunting a decent set of 4 lug wheels and tires if anyone has any....

Gotta love the black, grey, red, blue, and white interior.......I guess I should name the car "patches"........I've got to fix the passenger header and will be doing that tonight. Hopefully it will be driving Saturday.

Nope. I pulled the motor out the '70 last weekend and am putting it in along with a T5 from a 95 GT with a Centerforce clutch into the silver 91 coupe this weekend. I finally got all the front end parts on and now just need to change out the front brake lines and hook everything up once the motor is in......It should be going in a week or two depending on if I ever go back to work.....I'm back on unemployment again.......and hunting me a new job......again...

Well, I knew it ran and drove up until the starter went out 3-4 months ago. He wanted $1500 for it then. The frame and body are straight, but it does have minimal rust on the bottoms of the doors. Upgrades are: subframe connectors, aftermarket lower control arms, GT40 heads, MAF conversion with A9L, new fuel pump, longtube headers, h-pipe, Flowmasters, new battery, solid motor mounts, and new radiator.

It needs tires and wheels, a windshield, a few interior pieces to make everything match, and I'm going to find a T5 or C4 to swap into it in place of the 4 speed and it badly needs paint.

I got it for $600 delivered to me on a rollback

I really don't need a tire that big for this car. I'm looking for something kinda cheap to be honest with you. A clean set of 10 holes with good tires, draglites, pro stars, whatever as long as it's a 15" wheel. I don't want ponies nor any wheel bigger than a 15".

It was offered to me and he held it 3 days, I didn't even try to haggle on the price at all......and he delivered it.....I didn't really want this particular car, I certainly didn't need it, but I couldn't pass it up.....

ShawnBoyMoody 09-07-2012 02:16 PM

Dont be hatin on the ponies. Hals car always needed a set of ponies. He would get bent outa shape when you told him that too.

oldskoolstang 09-07-2012 05:25 PM

I want to run some 275/50/15 Nitto DR's on the car. I don't dislike ponies, I just don't want them on this car.....

Fawk ponies. That being sad, i eventually needed new tires on the rear and bought a set of ponies with wheels and tires cheaper than buying tires.

LXtasy 09-07-2012 06:06 PM

Oh, and FAWK PONIES again lol

ShawnBoyMoody 09-07-2012 08:14 PM
