Default Fs 1988 Mustang Lx 5.0 5 Speed

I had this car on here in the fall and sold it... or so I thought... The sale fell through. So here it is again! Enjoy.

FS/FT Is a 1988 Ford Mustang LX Hatch 5.0 5 Speed.

I am selling this car simply because I lost all interest in it, and I don't have a garage to put it in which sucks. The car has a rebuilt title but I can't find anywhere it could have been hit... the body is literally perfect and the radiator support is also perfect. If it was hit it was done very professionally. The odometer shows 200k but the motor was rebuilt (It has new gaskets the block is blue) and runs and drives like new, and you already know the body is perfect! Second gear grinds a bit (bad synchro) but with a little getting used to, you can drive it without grinding ever. The paint is new but it's not the best job in the world and far from the worst. I would say a 6.5 out of 10.

The car is painted in Dupont's Cosmic Dust (fancy for super metallic silver)
Grey Interior
5.0 5 Speed - It runs like new
The body is in perfect shape, no dings, no dents, no rust, no rot anywhere on the body
The passenger door lock, hatch lock and antenna are shaved (done very well, you can't even tell anything used to be there)

Features:
MSD Distributor
MSD Blaster Coil
Mac Longtube Headers
Mac Off-Road H-Pipe
Flowmaster Dumps
Brand New Ford Racing Clutch
Brand New Ford Racing Clutch Fork
Brand New BBK Adjustable Clucth Cable
Brand New BBK Clutch Quadrant
Brand New Flywheel
New Radiator
Brand New Autolite Plugs
Newer Ford Racing Wires
Brand New Headlights and Turn Signals
The car has Pony's in perfect shape with no curb rash anywhere
Cooper Cobra Tires with about 70/75% Tread
Mach 1 Hood (Painted but not Clear Coated)
Saleen Wing (Painted but not Clear Coated)

Parts also included but not installed:


New Catback with LX Tips (Needs Mufflers, or you can use the flowmasters it already has)
Stock Mass Air for conversion
Computer out of a real 1993 Cobra to support the Mass Air Conversion (needs wiring to complete the conversion)
Stock Hood
Stock LX Wing
A Quart of Dupont Cosmic Dust to paint the stock hood and stock wing (I don't like the hood or the wing so I was going to paint stock parts to match)
A Quart of Dupont Clear Coat and all the necessities for painting (hardener etc)
...and more I'm probably forgetting...

The car is what it is, a cheap, clean fox body with some minor flaws that can be easily fixed.

$3000 FIRM The Car is located in Wallingford, CT. Also Im open to any trades that may spark my interest.

Give me a Call!

It can be a daily driver right now as it sits, it runs and drives perfectly. As for the mass air wiring, the store Mustangs Unlimited in Manchester CT sells the wires that go from the mass air and splice in to the factory harness for $40. I'm told from friends that have done this previously that someone who has never done it before can do it in less than an hour. They say it's easy as pie. As for why I haven't done this yet, is because I'm a lazy SOB.
