So this happened v.foxbody

[Outlaw]

Not exactly sure why I bought it.... 1979 Hatch 302 5-speed. 86,000 original miles. Pretty clean, some surface rust but torque boxes and floors are solid.

What an interesting purchase

Any plans for upgrades? Looks very minty

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Because it was $2500. Unless you jewed him down like I assume you did.

 

[Outlaw]

Price was right. I've got an 8.8 ready to go in. IF it stays around long enough I'd like to LS/boost it.

So since I turned 18 (I'm 28 now) when i was able to buy my first car i've owned 29 cars. Actually owned and driven. I have a feeling this fuhkin guy is trying to break my record. What a dick.

Cool ride Frank....but I dont see you keeping it.....you go through cars like water brah

 

[RICH17]

I'd leave it alone. Too minty and stock to touch. CAnt find many foxes anymore that aren't touched

 

[Mook]

Buying a dime a dozen mustang not to mod is :hay:

 

[wolfe]

Can I buy it on the cheap in a month when you're sick of it?

Nice purchase Frank

 

[Outlaw]

Thanks everyone. Overall I'm happy with it. Tuned the carb up a bit tonight, it was pig rich. Going to check the timing quick tomorrow and adjust of needed and call it a day for this motor. Any other upgrades will not be to that powerplant. Have to repaint the front bumper though (got backed into and paint has cracked and chipped off). It's a fun slow car. Just the smell, sound and rattles of an old manual car makes me happy... Regardless of the power.

With that said, this thing needs more power.

If my car was running it would have been a drag race for the ages. On that note I already tried trading him my 3rd gen, because LS fox body.

Nice grab Frank!
