1988 Ford Mustang GT- Bolt on's, Cam, etc.
Look, going to be straight forward on this I DO NOT HAVE TO SELL THIS CAR. This is 100% up in the air at this point, the money would be nice but the car is alot of fun and won't hurt my feelings one bit to sit in my driveway. Don't insult me and waste either of our time with lowball offers.

Lots more I'm sure I'm forgetting.
The Good:
-Car runs REALLY strong, the 95 Cobra longblock with these bolt on's makes GOOD power.
-Lot's of really good parts on it.
-CLEAN interior (I've owned 5 foxes and this has the best interior)
-Burns/leaks no oil
-Sounds great
-Turns heads and gets complements everywhere
The Bad:
-Paint is not great. Chipping around the trim, roof is faded (Car sat outside for a few years), Scratches on the hood from the hood pins... If I kept the car I'd have it painted.
-Doors are finiky, you have to pull the handle twice to open them sometimes. More annoying than bad.
-REALLY Loud (May not be bad to some)
-Still a Speed Density car (May or may not be bad to some.)
-AC doesn't work
-PS has a slight leak
As the car sits now it is NOT driveable. The car needs wheel bearings/seals/spindle nuts, spacers for the rear, and to roll the rear fenders. All the parts to fix it are avaliable at your local O'Reilly Auto Parts for $71 and can be put on in a couple hours with simple hand tools. The rear could likely get away without spacers if you massage the inner fender some, but I had planned to run the 1/4" spacers (Included in the $71) If I keep the car I WILL fix it and the price WILL go up.
I had some big plans for the car, was going to remove the a/c stuff, p/s, rear seat, spare tire, jack, radio, speakers, etc. as well as throw a 125-150 shot on the car, some suspension work, and enjoy it as a weekend car/track rat. Since I bought the car I had used it as my DD until the wheel bearings went so the car has proven itsself reliable to me.
Before anyone asks the car HAS had a nitrous plate setup installed on it for about 2 weeks, bottle was never filled and the car was never sprayed. Setup has since been removed from the car and sold seperately.
I'm looking for $4,800 and I stress it is OBO. No trades unless it's an SN-95 GT, A NICE 4 door family car, something fun/fast RWD, or some lifted 4x4. Mainly looking for cash.
Best way to contact is via PM.
