Hey everyone, i just thought i would show you all my mustang i just picked up for $2500. it has a 302 with about 40k miles on it and a tranny with the same. please tell me what you think.
Already has the export brace and monte carlo bar. Are those KYB's on the front?
Looks like someone has done a fair bit of the work already.
How does it run?
What's your plan for it?

Not bad hey!
this thing has TONS of power. im going to need to be really careful to not get a ticket lol. my plan for now is to clean up the interior and it has some electrical issues (nothing major, just lights and stuff) and drive it how it is for now until i get out of high school. i dont want to get it painted just yet because people tend to really mess with the nice cars at our school and i want to avoid that. but im pretty excited, i drove it from sacramento to reno today which is about 150 miles and it runs great. it is pretty thirsty tho lol.

I hear ya their I had my 66 caprice during high school and i had the valve stem caps stolen off like 4 times before i just quit buying them and actually had a emblem ripped off to. sucked.
its an automatic, i just think it would be easier to drive that way, my uncle has a 3-speed and the clutch is pretty sensitive. there are some things that the previous owner did that i dont agree with but overall it is very solid. no rust anywhere except for a spot in the trunk.

Nice score - especially for someone in high school! Looks like they already put some good money into it so you are farther along than most. I like the drive it and when something breaks then you go ahead and fix it routine. Get some miles on it and have fun with it, then you can learn its quirks and what you like and want to change later on about it. You can always do a cheapie paint job if you don't like the primer but it looks meaner the way it is. Congrats!
P.S. - I like the one oddball wheel routine!

haha thanks, i thought that was kind of funny when i was looking at it. i personally really like the way it looks with the primer, ill eventually get it painted tho, as soon as i have enough money to get it done right.

Nice find! It's awesome you have no rust issues to deal with. I say leave it in primer, she'll be a sleeper. Lower it all around and it'll look even more badass.
I kinda wanna ditch my old scratched up blue and go flat black primer lol. Downgrade that i think will look nice. Good job man. You'll get the good girls with that car too.
WOO!!! i finally got my own mustang!!!
