Email me at Tcj429@yahoo.com for info.
Did he or someone else do the 5-lug conversion to it already I take it?
he didn't touch it... it was allready done.
We're talking a fox mustang here right? '79 would be a fox, I'm thinking. Those were 4-lug from the factory, just asking if someone converted it or what.
it was converted they are fox cars
(http://www.nzmustang.com/Clubs/BayofPlenty/kevinandbevs_79.jpg) is not this car but has all the same parts just for reference
So he has a '79 Pace Car he's trying to sell? Where is the car located?
its just a reference pic......its not a pace car. its black with yellow trim, a 5 lug conversion, no eng/trans btw hes in Fort Wayne IN. 46818
So it's an Cobra?
How about being a bit more specific on what he actually has.....
ok... he has a 1979 ford mustang 2 door hatchback lx black/yellow with skull decals no engine leather/cloth int (*i think , i dont see the car much ,only by glance*)
the 1979 stang is the first year of "Fox body"...came with 4 lug wheel bolts from factory
i take it the car has had an 8.8 rearend swapped in, as well..?
can you give some info about the truck, if he still has it?
yeah man, he still has the truck ,Its a 77 ford F-150 custom that had a 351 M in it but it blew, but it has a 302 coming soon ,its an automatic on the column, it has chrome cragar rims with missing center caps, it has a white wooden flatbed on it, mangled door but he does have the replacement with everything on it, black bumpers, tinted windows, a new steering wheel, emmaculant interior for a truck that old, for 9" in the rear, headers running to TRUE DUALS with cherry bombs and a lazy exhaust pipe (one hangs down and looks retarded) reese hitch i believe, strong body with VERY LITTLE RUST
$150 o.b.o
reason for sale: wants to get rid of it and get some money out of it....
I thought there were only winsors and clevelands.
Not so, grasshopper....
http://www.projectbronco.com/History/history_of_the_ford_351m.htm
the 351 m's were easier to find parts for than the cleveland but it was harder to find parts for than the winsor my bro had tons of trouble with it.... but now it has a 302 that would be nice with a accel DFI setup ;)
How good does the truck run?
my bro has an engine for it but hasn't put it in yet.... the car it came out of i think was rearended... it will run like a scolded dog....
Got any pics? Been looking for a cheap truck that wasnt rusted to hell. Only thing is distance. Not sure I want to go that far. Plus the engine would have to be installed and running. I aint got any way to get it here unless I drive it. I do love that year tho.
eh no pics.... but i will find a pic that does look like it.... in condiction but i do think it will run the onlything i think youll have to watchout for is the exhaust its a little weak in some spots but no biggy....ill go find a close related picture....
this is the closest one i could find..... but its red with black bumpers... no scartches, a wooden bed painted white but its a killer truck i do believe if i were to call him tomarow he would prolly rush and get the engine in thios weekend... maybe even waste a complete roll of film on it...

If could find a way to get it here I'd get it in a heartbeat. Not sure about driving it that long of a distance. Plus I keep finding things wrong with my car, and I got a feeling it would die just leaving the county. If I could find a cheap way to get it here I would. Not a bad looking truck tho. Hood could use a good sandblasting and few coats of primer. Oh well. Guess I'll have to keep looking around here, cant really afford to have anything shipped right now, but thanks for the pic tho, always nice to see an old ford still around. Just wish I could find one around here worth putting money in.
canada? right?
got some new pics!

the door is bashed in but we do have a new one
sale needs to wait until we have a new motor in it does run and on 106 octane racing fuel ;) very well until the old motor spun a bearingbut thats the truck
BlackJack,
How far from Terre Haute is the truck? Is it in Fort Wayne, too? If that motor has been running on 106 octane, will it run on 87 to 91 pump gas? Even 87 is near $2 a gallon now. Is the compression that high? I had a '69 Mach 1 with a 428CJ with about 10:1 compression and I think it would have run on 93, but I still had to put lead additive in the tank because I didn't have stainless valves or hardened valve seats. Anyway, I'm very interested, if it has a clear title. Please let me know. Thanks.
i dunno ill keep ypou informed im not sure what he wants to do with it now...... Ft. Wayne yes, compression isnt that high just cleaning it out with 106 ,engine is BLOWN by the way.... im also very interested in it..... my bro is thinking of just giving it to me....
Blackjack,
Hey, just thought I'd check back in and see what the status was on the truck? Any change? Did you all get the new motor installed? Did he ever sell the Mustang? If money was no object, I'd bring both of them home if they were still for sale and I had a place to put them. My landlord probably wouldn't appreciate it much. I just wanted to let you know that I was still very interested in the truck if it's still available. Please let me know! Thanks. Fordman3
