Putting a feeler post out there on my 90 lx. Debating on getting another toy, so this one would have to go. Not in a hurry to sell. Car was bought new by a family member, and I have owned driven it the past 10 years. I hate to see it go, but it is what it is.

I tore this car down to the shell starting in April 2011. Car was painted in September 2012, and stayed in the shop being rebuilt until July 2013 when she finally backed out. It has less than 500 miles since it has been redone.

I personally built this car, with very little assistance. Have a pro shop next door with my private shop behind it. This car is done right. Is it 100% to the T complete? No not yet, but I consider this one well out of project stage. I took great pride in my work and have hundreds of hours in this car.

The paint is dupont chromabase vermillion red, the factory color, but with dupont clear instead of the factory single stage paint. Engine bay, door jams, trunk jams, was resprayed. The paintjob is next to flawless. I have a little bit of extra base coat that will go along with the car. The paint is of show quality, hands down.

Interior I would rate around 7 out of 10, that was next on my to do list. More or less showing it's age. Seats need a good shampoo, or I was going to swap seats.

The car itself has near 130 on the clock. The gauge cluster has rounded once but it's still the factory one.

Transmission is a stock t5 with a pro 5.0 shifter. I have a tremec 3550 laying in the floor that came out of a local acquaintances fox mustang. He went auto. I have a shifter for it as well.

Hood is a Steel 2.5" cowl from NPD. Was never fond of fiberglass hoods.
Headlights are 1 piece from LRS.

Interior has new carpet for cabin and the hatch.
JVC blue tooh head unit, with new door and rear speakers.
Has wire kit to put a sub in the back, haven't got that far yet.

I have nearly all stock parts that came out of this car. Stock heads, intake, headers, k member, stock exhaust (except mufflers.) etc. Even got the stock air silencer.

This car is running, and driveable. There is a few things still on my to do list that needs to be fixed:
I forgot to clip the speedo cable in when I assembled it. The exhaust got a hold of it and burnt into it, locking it up. It knocked the internal speedo gear in the tailhousing of the transmission out of location. So the speedo does not work. It does have a new cable however. I can easily fix this for someone, or it's gonna get the trans swapped.

The door panel plastic clips that retain it to the door are shot. Going to order some so they can be held securely.

Seats need a good shampoo, however they are not torn or ripped.

Put a new headliner board in, with new headliner. However found out I am not quite the upholstery man, and there are extra cuts that don't need to be there.

I need to take it for a front end alignment. Only reason I haven't yet is I've been debating on changing the springs out to some not quite as low.

I think I covered it all but am not sure. I'll add as I can remember.

Asking 10k firm.

You can pm me, e-mail me at [email protected], or send a text to 336-953-1066.

*Also, the pictures show the stock caster camber plates in the photos, this is not the case. I didn't tear the suspension apart until near the end of the build. Also the car shots show the trim missing from the front and rear windows. They are painted and on the car.
