Good Evening, Everyone!
My name is Eric and I'm from Aurora, CO. I have loved Foxbody Mustangs since I was just a kid (when they were new lol), but have unfortunately never had the chance to own one. I have had some GM sports cars (please don't hurt me LOL
) like my old 1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula and 1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS, but I don't own either of those anymore. I have just found a beautiful 1989 Fox Mustang LX 4-cylinder with an automatic transmission that I am looking to purchase to convert to my very own Modular Foxbody! The owner wants $2k for it and he is here in Colorado - a really nice guy and I am hoping he didn't sell it out from under me as he might have gotten a better offer as it has beautiful new paint on it, new headlights & taillights, new tags and everything (which is a big deal in Colorado), and it is just an all around perfect project Fox.
I am looking to purchase that one - the reason I am trying to get a former 4-cylinder is because I don't want to deprive someone who wants a Fox still powered by the beautiful SBF 5.0L 302 of their very own Fox. However, since I am looking to do a Terminator swap, I am gonna have my work cut out for me... I might actually look to do a Coyote swap instead as it seems like that is actually less expensive these days! I had found an '03 Cobra in a salvage yard here that had gotten rear-ended something terrible - totaling the car out and unfortunately destroying the rear axles, the control arms, just about everything with the chassis, but leaving that beautiful Terminator engine intact from what I can tell! Naturally, it has over 110k miles on it but if the motor and transmission (good 'ol Tremec T56!) are still intact, I might have part of my drivetrain all at once right after finding the chassis! It must be fate, right?
Anyhow, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself before going and talking more fox stuff... I am exhausted from work today but I really look forward to reading all of your replies tomorrow when I get home from my long day (I get up at 4:30am every day and usually don't get home from work until after 5:00pm). Have a great rest of your day, my friends, stay safe out there and happy driving and smiles per gallon!!
Sincerely,
Eric C.
