Well after some thought the project is gone. Sold it last Wed. Might have lost a bit of cash, but if you figure the $300-$400 a new carpayment + insurance would cost me everymonth.
I probably came out pretty good. Saved $2500 +/- while owning it. I knew that with the money from the sale and the $5k or so in the Project Mustang budget a very straight and clean car could be bought. Mine was a little rough, and the former owner had done a pretty good job of hacking up the wiring.
Thinking about picking this car up. 86' Mustang Notch

Thought about buying this car when I bought mine but didn't want to cough up the cash at the time.
Seems like a nice clean basically untouched example of a Foxbody. Some boltons, full suspension and brake package, and some type of forced induction and I would have a very nice car. Not greedy for horsepower after the fiasco with my 90'LX. 400-425whp is plenty for a street car.

What do you guys/girls think?

The notch is nice but I think you need this Capri.

Yeah that would work for me, how much?? My first 5.0 was and 84' Capri with the bubble hatch.
Was a cool car and different.

Nice car. Only one thing wrong with your theory. You won't get 400-425 horse with a few bolt-ons. Unless of course you add racing stripes and a mean double stacker rear wing. Then you might have a chance.

I think you missed the " some type of Forced induction part of the post."

And I think everyone called that old black/red thing as a money pit nightmare from the pics in the original thread.

91 Mustang Dove grey coupe 5.0 Aod. 3:27 gears, motor is stock and runs great. P/W, P/DL, P/M, cruise, it all works.
Pretty much a stock 5.0 with exhaust.

Trying to work a deal on this car. Only issue is seller wants a quick sale and I can't get away to pick it up for a couple
weeks. $4200 is asking price, think it's a fair deal.?

wait for the capri to be ready

2006wrxtr
04-21-2011, 09:22 PM
I am, just like to look around and see what's out there.
Have a mild touch of A.D.D. and when it comes to cars
it really kicks in. My brother lives in Milwaukee so when
the Capri is ready he can take a look at it for me. I do
like it because it is different. Only issue is no AC. It was
almost 90* down here today, and will only get hotter.

Do I need any of the heater components for the AC to work. Pretty sure he removed all that stuff. Pretty sure I could live with out the
AC, been doing it for awhile. Plus it would be a second car.

Much better choice than the foxbody.

Yeah I like it. Crossing my fingers that the Auction
doesn't go over my limit. Talked to the guy and he
seems to be cool, and honest. Very reasonable about
what the car is worth.

I like the Titanium Frost coupe better. But I'm a foxbody guy. Never got into the lumpy floor, sit on the ground layout of f-bodys.

Yep waiting on the Capri. DRK said he ran into an issue and it won't
be ready by the begining of June like I had hoped, he said maybe July.
Asked him to keep me informed and I will be waiting.
