After driving around all over Texas and wasting endless amount of time and gas money only to find junkers and just plain garbage cars, I came across this original unmolested (except for Flowmasters) 86 GT convertible 5.0 H.O 5spd.. with a working A/C!
I was thrilled to say the least, I drove it back home without a hiccup at 75 to 80mhp for about 30 miles in a 110 degree weather.
Is definitely going to need some TLC but that's to expect out of a 24 year old car, even the fog lights work, all the windows, power locks, and the top works fine too, I'm posting a couple of pictures maybe I can get some of your response, I'm exited to be back in a 5.0!
OH! and it I got it for only $2500........
Well I thought I'd share this with you guys.
Thanks:bigthumbsup

I got it for only $2500.

And there isn't an arrest warrant out on you for practically stealing it?

Horse(mustang) Theft was a capital punishment crime......

Hey congrats, I picked up mine for $2500 as well, its a blue/silver 90 convertible. It was all stock when I got it. I've had it for about a year and now its going to get a twin turbo kit with a Trick Flow top end kit =).

You west coast and southern folks are lucky...

For that price all you'll find are super clunkers out here.

Edit: Congrats on the find. She's a pretty one.

Thanks guys for all the positive feedback.......:wavey

She's very solid and all original right down to the air intake which is rare to find, and I'm planning to keep her that way, no need to wrench away, she's won't be seeing the race track anytime soon.

Thank you,.... this wasn't an easy find, it costed me a lot of time and frustration but it paid off in the end after six months of hunting, but yeah..maybe there's a bit luck involved, also timming is a big factor I think.

Thanks bud,.. I found her on Craigslist in Keller TX, after weeding out all the over priced junk for months and guys asking $4K and $5k for cars without engine sometimes, and totally butchered other times....... I jumped right in on the deal, she was on CL for less than 24hrs, if you're from Plano you'll definitely see me around.:wavey I think she'll be hard to miss haha!

beautiful lookin car man, nice find :bigthumbsup

 

[90 stock stang]

That is a great deal. As stated earlier on the east cost that is a $5,000 car.

Probably not anytime soon. I live in Japan right now, but I will be back to McKinney (my brothers house) to pick my car up in April. Maybe we'll see you around then.
