Hey SVTP
Made a pretty spur of the moment decision to pick up a fox body this weekend - little backstory:
For as long as I can remember, my old man and I have wanted a nice clean notchback. With other priorities and other cars taking up our time/interests, we never made the decision to actively search one down. We had an idea of a budget in mind and I would basically surf the listings here and there to see if anything worth chasing popped up, but that's about it. Lot of high mileage, rusty options up here in the northeast.
Then, last week a good friend who is also a member here (SonicBlur2003) notified us about a local car that may be hitting the market soon - once we heard the details the rest was history.
Specs:
1987 Original 5.0L LX
32k Miles - factory paint aside from the hood (underside was finished/cleared)
Factory "Power Delete" car (crank windows, no power locks & AC Delete)... I didn't really appreciate the rarity of this until after we picked it up.
- Stock shortblock
- Trickflow heads & cam
- Cobra upper & lower intake
- BBK headers & CAI
- 5 Lug conversion
- 3.73 gears, etc.
- Made 306/320 on a Mustang dyno
Here are a few iPhone photos for the time being. Will definitely be getting some quality photos once are out of winter!
