iwantone · 12-12-2004, 02:13 AM

I am in the market for another vehicle and i am kinda wanting a mustang to fix up. I found this conv. gt 5 speed the other day and i called about it. the guy says it needs a driver fender, hood, headlights, and one headlight bracket, and air bags. I'm not shure about the bumper cover, but i was planning on putting a body kit on it anyways so that will fix that. I want to know what you guys think of this car and is it worth buying. thanks

i don't know man...that front end looks pretty bad.....something might be bent

Yea, it's a little twisted dude...definitely check it all out real good so you know what you're getting into. But I'm definitely one for seeing older or banged up cars being fixed and back out on the streets, kind of like recycling, good stuff. Good luck man.

$2,500 for that POS?

I can get you an '89 w/ a broken crank for 1,500.... Spend $2k on the motor and BAM!

well I have spent litteraly months staring at wrecked mustangs especially before I bought my stang. That stang does not look good rebuild wise. My car didn't look that bad, but there are so many minor thing to buy, and damage that is unantcipated. keep looking, there are better stangs to rebuild. they may be a bit more expensive, but they will save you in the long run.

DEFINALLY looks like the frame is twisted. U dont need to get your money tied up in that car. Its not worth it. LIke the rest said, buy a older stang and fix it up

if the damage to that car was purely cosmetic, the original owner probably woulda fixed it up!
