Vehicle Details

Clean and clear Kansas title in my name.

Original Sportsroof, not a Mach 1, or Boss 302. Grabber Blue is the original color and a 302 2v/3 speed manual is what it came with according to the Marti Report. (A reproduction door tag was also ordered and will go with the car). Spent most of its life, 1973-2014 in Texas. Was restored around 2010. At that time, it was a great car, lot of effort into the restore. The guy I bought it from bought it in Texas and hauled it to Indiana. It got hit by debris from a nearby tornado in 2015. The guy didn’t have insurance so it sat outside until I got it this fall.

The underside is fantastic, the floors, subframe, boxes, everything is rock solid. Unfortunately, almost every panel has bubbling paint. I tried to get pictures of everything. The tornado threw a piece of metal at the driver fender and door. I believe these panels are original so I think it would be worth it to have a good shop repair them. The trunk lid is the only panel I think would need to be completely replaced; yellow is showing through, so it’s not original anyways.

The engine that was installed in Texas is a 1984 Mustang 5.0 (Edelbrock intake with a Holley carb swapped) with an AOD automatic. Motor spins with solenoid jump. Oil pan has dent, I was planning on pulling. I have removed the intake and valve covers to inspect to see if the 84 engine is worth a rebuild. Comes with a rebuilt 4100 carb, 1968 4bbl cast iron intake, and an edlebrock 2755 Torker intake. I can leave it apart, or reassemble. Buyer can choose. I was told the transmission was rebuilt when the car was completed but I don’t have any documentation.

New gas tank, but no clue when.

It appears that most of the parts are there. The cluster and dash are in the trunk. I have some extra Ridetech pieces that will go with it. I have no idea if any of it is complete.

I purchased new Magnum 500 wheels, lugs, and center caps from CJPonyParts and new BFGs from Discount tire. The set is installed and has 0 miles on them.

Reason for selling: I love this year Mustang, but I don’t have the time or space. Bigger project than I thought
