Default Mustang coupe

Never thought I would see this day come but it's official...
I now own a Ford.

It's already setup for a sbc/ls and has been 5.50 1/8mi with 1.28 60' on a 8.5 tire.
Plans for it will be a junkyard lq4 w/ a th350. Going to run n/a pump gas and possibly a bottle down the road.

I ended up paying 6k for it. Here is a link to some pics and specs...

Fox body's are the ticket for low weight. As an 18yr old I drove a brand new 85 GT and a used 84 GT on the same lot in one day back in the summer of 85 in Dallas TX at a Ford dealer. Very good memories. Fun cars and a solid foundation! Huge respect for this platform. Dropping anything GENIII+ in it? Priceless

Very nice car, i have always like them coupes, my friend has one just like it, with a cam only LS1, full bolton, stock 60e tci 3000 stall, it runs 11.5@119 on nitrous tune, and 10.1@133 on the 150shot, these cars definately has potential, of course with a LS motor in it... lol
