I have a 1988 Mustang GT 5.0. I baught the car about 3 years ago and stripped it down a few months ago and just dont have the time/money to pursue my goals w/ the car. If you are looking for a good project car this is the one! I basically have a whole car it just needs to be put together! I will also do deals with or without some parts (motor, trans, exhaust, etc.) Just let me know what you are exactally looking for. Heres a brief description of the car.
1988 GT 5.0 stripped. It was a GT but I was in the process of converting it to an LX. I removed the side skirts, etc. etc. etc. and about a month ago installed a lx rear bumper along w/ the lx tailights.
No Motor
No Interior
No Trans
No Fenders
No Front Bumper
No Gas Tank
I have in my garage (that will also come with the car)
The motor... its out of a 91 w/ 32,XXX miles on it.
The trans. Its an AOD. I paid over 1K to have a performance rebuild but got d*cked by the mechanic who was doing it. I had the trans in the car for approx. 600 miles and I could not get it to shift correctly. I never found out wether it was the trans or if it was something minor like linkage or something in that area. It was a performance rebuild w/ a shift kit, etc.
Also, comes with 4' cowl hood. The hood flew up on me one day so its chipped a little bit on the top of the cowl. Could be easily repaired w/ some fiberglass filler.
The interior- I painted everything black w/ SEM Landau Black paint (about $8 dollars a can). I have the quarters, rear panels, kicker panels, center console, carpet (brand new grey carpet still in the box w/ receipt from 50resto.com), gt seats, complete blower box assembly, dash (not painted yet), etc. etc. etc. There are some minor pieces of the interior that I do not have. The interior was painted but never installed. It got scratched up while sitting in my garage. If each panel got 1-2 more coats plus some kind of sealer it would be PERFECT. Most panels in great condition (no gashes, scratches in plastic, etc.) And the dash is not painted and in PERFECT condition (grey and black).
Exhaust - it comes with MAC LT headers and a MAC Pro-chamber h pipe. I still have the receipt for them for over $600 dollars. They were only on the car for about 600 miles but are a little rusted, etc.
LX Front Bumper- I still have the LX front bumper that I baught, its literally in PERFECT condition. I baught it and never installed it. Its still in the box that it came in!
Front Radiator Support- I baught a BRAND NEW front radiator support for the car because the one on there now is a little tore up from a from end collision that it was in. Only the rad support is bent! I have brand new one that I never installed! It would take literally a 1/2 hour and a welder to put the new one on.
The whole interior was stripped down, cleaned, primered and coated with tex coat chip gaurd (its like what they use for bed liners in trucks( NO more rusting!!)
It still has the factory steering assembly, etc.
Also, comes with 2 boxes of labeled bolts for misc. parts from the motor. I might not have everything but should have most of it!
The doors on the car now are in good condition but the window was smashed out in one of them. I have two doors that I will also include w/ the car. They are power doors w/ good glass and they come with mirrors also.
I have the passenger side fender to go with the car.
Also, comes with the shock absorbers for the front bumper support (also baught that recently and never installed).
I also have tons of misc parts that I cannot think of. I gave the best description that I could. If you have any questions, etc. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PM ME!! The car is located in Hamilton, NJ 08690 and its pickup only on the car. Here are a few pictures that I have on hand now. I will post more pics ASAP.
Pic of the block (it also comes with heads, oil pan, valve covers, etc. (all painted also)
Picture of the MAC prochamber that it comes with
Comes with distributer and coil. Does not come w/ blue cap.
Here is a picture of it when it was complete just to give you an idea of what it used to look like. And yes it does come with those wheels. The wheels have a decent amount of curb rash on them though.
Heres a picture of the car after I got all the acces. etc. off the motor. As you can see the rad support is bent but it comes with a brand new one!
I will get more pics up ASAP! Thanks.
