I picked this 1989 LX up right after the holidays. Car is a true 5.0 coupe, and has its share of dings and blemishes after 20+ years. Just replaced a couple things and got it running properly, but it is definitely a work in progress. Hopefully, I will have it painted next winter, along with all new weatherstripping, 1/4 windows, 6pt cage, and some dark tint.

As it sits right now, the car has a 306, aluminum GT40 heads, Cobra intake, E-cam, full exhaust, 373s, built 8.8, Tremec trans, some spray, and all the other bolt-ons. Not to mention the coveted porno red interior, lol :coolman:Future plans for the motor include AFR heads, on3 turbo kit, fuel system upgrades, and a custom cam.

Will be down in OC this May for the car cruise with some other Mustangs and a few LS1tech peeps....should be a good time :rockon:

Might just be me but you paid wayyyyy too much for that thing, my buddy just got a 85 with a 306, all msd ignition, 650 carb, 9" rear, 544 roller cam, tko trans, no rust, just needs full on repaint though and some other small stuff, 35k original miles on the clock, 2nd owner and only paid 3500 :shrug:
But either way thats a badass fox, I would love to get a fox setup like that but with a 347 :rockon:

I think most would say he did fairly well. They are getting harder to come by

Yea I think my buddy knew the guy he bought his from and he cut him an awesome deal, I dont know exactly.
But like I said this one is still most deffinitely a badass notch for what all it is and how good of shape the body is in.

Carbed race cars don't bring what a clean EFI street car will money wise. I think he did well at $6500.
