A horse of a different color?

That '76 looks like my '76, except for mine was burnt orange. I liked the look of the '79 and newer Capris, as I liked the look of the rear, with that bubble glass on the hatchback and the tail light looks. :D

Terry, you have to be the FIRST person I have met that actually likes the '83 to '86 Aero hatch. (most folks call them "bubble backs" ) I know I like them and it also helped them to kick butt in the Trans-Am racing circuit a few years in a row.

My green '85 actually had an ASC McLaren rear spoiler that made it look even better yet. :P

We dug this up a few weeks back in the chat so I'm resurecting it to add mine. By the way TT, I love the White RS with the 10 hole wheels. Bubblebacks ROCK!

1998 SVT Cobra (Gone in the name of having a Powerstroke)

1992 LX 5.0, 25,000 on the clock. Old mans car, but mine when I'm ready for it.

1987 Ranger STX Super Cab. (Picture from the day I sold it to my BIL. NEVER sell anything you love to your BIL. I had it 6 years, he trashed it in less than 6 months.

[Rollerman 290]

Wow this thread has been pulled out of the basement....

Nice rides there Dustin...the Ranger looks really clean.

Enjoy that LX when you get it....& keep the BIL away.

I agree Stephen wasn't this last fall or so? B)

By the way TT, I love the White RS with the 10 hole wheels. Bubblebacks ROCK!

Please refer to them as "aero hatch" from now on.

The saddest part about that car was the day I saw it heading for the scrap yard on a roll back - totalled beyond recognition. (two owners later - no, it wasn't me. )

Alcohol & 100mph+ across a rough set of railroad tracks, never regained control, went up an embankment, and the car flipped many times/many directions, ejecting the driver through the T roof and back-first into an old school wooden guardrail post. He has been paralyzed from the chest down ever since the accident. (I really don't know him, but do know who he is.)

1992 LX 5.0, 25,000 on the clock. Old mans car, but mine when I'm ready for it.

Dustin, I'd be getting ready if I were you...

Very nice LX!

BIL ran the Ranger into a HOUSE. Yeah, brick just like that. I LOVED that truck.

No space for the 5.0 right now........just waiting :whistle:

Weird, while I was reading this earlier today, I could hear one of our local doctors out for his weekly spin in his Mustang. It's a P 51-D! The airport is not far from here, and you can't mistake the sound of that 27 litre Rolls Royce Merlin. I don't know how much Dr. Joe gave for it, but he is trying his best to get his money's worth out of it.

[perry 82]

finally got my stang out. man was it filthy .

this poor car has been neglected the past 5yrs . .

it has'nt been started in over a year and has'nt had a oil change in over 4 years . pretty much never drive it, just sits and gets in my way.

so i got some fresh oil in it and got it all washed up. i am hopeing to get it plated and take it out a few times before summer is over. maybe ill just get one of them paper temp plates.

its alive !

[Teddy da Bear 11]

I had two mustangs....could not give them away.

Both were coupes. One 1988 one 1992 The 1988 had a near perfect body from the doors back. The 1992 was never in an accident but was rusting in all the usual places.

I had the 1988 crushed. And sold the 1992 for $200

I spent almost as much money in advertiizing than I got from them.

I still have parts from them.

[perry 82]

i use to have parts laying all over for the stangs. now its all tractor parts everywhere B)

[TT-(Moderator) 1,162]

The last Fox Ford that lived here was my '85 5 liter Capri. When I sold it I included all of the parts I had collected over the last 20 or so years, and the buyer actually had to make 3 trips to get it all.

Occasionally I still find a small part or two hiding in a drawer or cupboard.

Perry -- I'm glad to see you decided to get that Pony out and stretch its legs! :horseplay:

[perry 82]

TT, you come across any door-window moldings let me know. i really need the outter rubber strip that clips in the top of the door. where your arm would rest if the window was down.

[KyBlue 655]

Perry - did a quick search for ya, ran across this:

Mustang Stuff

Didnt know if you needed the inner or the outer, and exactly what year your stang is. Hope this helps ya a bit

[Brian1045 28]

What's really cool about the Mid- 80's Mustangs, is that the LX models with the 5.0 were quicker than the Gt's...

But only if you put the Gt rear ends in them.

The LX Mustangs were 500 lbs. lighter is the reason why. :omg:

[TT-(Moderator) 1,162]

They were only about 110 pounds lighter unless they were a coupe. (coupes are about 300 lbs lighter)

The rears were actually the same.
