want a 5.0
Brand new to the site would like to find a 1988 to 1992 mustang gt, any advice what to look for etc. Alot of cars seem to have floor problems, any other problems i should be aware of. This would my mid life toy Harleys are just to much.

Welcome to CMOC. I don't have much experiance with Fox's, but someone who does will chime in soon.
|
Welcome dude, no help here either, but there always seems to be a Fox for sale somewhere. I hear you with the Harleys, I bet you get to a point where being shook to pieces and deafened gets to be a real pain in the butt. (kidding yoh)

Welcome aboard.
What you need to look at when looking at the fox's, is the front frame rails, and the lower portion of the strut towers, front lower rad craddle, floor pans, A pillars (the full length from the top to where the doors bolt to, and down), the rear quarters can hide stuff aswell. The lower edge of the hatch on the hatchbacks are bad for rotting aswell, the lower edge seems of the doors go aswell, then the torque boxes either rust out, or can be damaged from hard use threw it's life. The list can go on. These cars are not getting younger, and to get a prime mint one....... because most are rotted, or damaged....... you will be paying a good chunk for. Good luck on your hunt. |
