my life with mustangs.
first i like to say i screwed up puttin my car on if its possible to delete the first two times on my information. this way im not listed on here three times,that would be great! one im sure is enough! ive been into mustangs my whole life,started back when i was 19yrs old.i picked up my first mustang a 1980 coupe, auto,trx package(wheels) 302. could not afford to modify just happy to have a stang.then i moved to a 83gt it was cool the front of the car had 79 pace car nose on it i was told it had been hit but no frame damage and it looked different! the only mod i did to it was true dual exhaust.then i moved up to a 89 lx,5.0 5-speed it was stolen 3 months after i got it.i got it back but it wasn,t the same.kept it for a while then traded it in for a thunderbird,what was i thinking! nothing against thunderbirds,but its no stang.picked up a 86-gt it did some mods to it,the typical gears,intake,throttle body,exhaust,etc. sold that and i bought a full size bronco 5.0. it was nice,good in the winter.at this point i decided that when i get another mustang it not to be used as a daily driver,being from jersey i needed something for the crappy weather(the bronco).so eventually i picked up a 69 mustang gt.soup to nuts all done up from engine to rear had to have 16,000 into this car (crazy) it was a 351-4v bored 40 over edelbrock intake ,heads and cam,etc. then i decided to pick up a svo 85 so i had both for a while.the svo had a bigger turbo, exhaust,04 mach1 wheels. then sold both of them and bought the car i have now! i got 10 grand for the 69, and 5 grand for the svo. boy you never get what you put into a car, time has taught me that.

forgot i picked up a 90 5.0lx auto,about a year and a half ago. fixed it up myself.i actually bought it for 300 hundred dollars. all it needed was a battery and a new radiator,better tires. i picked up a set of ten holes with fairly new tires,installed bbk shorty headers,off road pipe,aluminum radiator,flowmaster cat back. pick up some goodys from my pal alfredo @ valley peformance in bloomfield for free they were used parts,my wife got his son a job at the post offie and i sold a lot of stufff for him on e-bay ,so lets say one hand washes the other. i got undredrive pullys,edlbrock,65mm throttlebody and spacer. i picked up a gt-40 intake from a ford explorer.msd coil pack,new plugs. took out air was not working anyway,smog pump and emission crap on side of engine and tube that connects to mid pipe,also condenser,so it was just the radiator man this car ran cool.got a buddy to get me a inspection sticker, drove it for a little over a year and sold it for 1600 bucks actually make a little on this one.but it was fun. and thats what mustangs are all about,fixin them up to your standards weather there new or used.
