New Project: Bimini Blue Notch

[SADDLE]

I've been out of the Mustang game since I sold my '03 Cobra (awful decision) and today that hiatus came to an end. I check Craigslist every day for "Mustang 5.0" hoping that a clean notch will come up and last night was the night that the search results returned a winner - "1991 Mustang 5.0 Coupe". I opened the ad and saw that it was a Bimini Blue Coupe, mileage was listed at 67,500, but I had my doubts that it was accurate.

I went to see the car this afternoon and told myself to be selective and only take it home if it was VERY nice. I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw...

All vin stickers are in place (and match). I can't tell if the paint is original or not, but if I had to guess I would say yes. Mileage is accurate at 67,3XX - the title and Carfax support this. It's got some mild mods - full exhaust, shifter, distributor/wires, etc. The engine hasn't been opened up tho and she runs well with cold A/C to boot.

I couldn't be happier and can't wait to build her into my dream notch.

The seller was very cool and easy to deal with. I'm sure most of us have had plenty of nightmare Craigslist experiences, but he was as stand-up as they come which made for an easy transaction. I am going back to pickup the car tomorrow morning, but I couldn't wait to share my excitement with my fellow SVTP'ers. :banana:

Wow Nice score! Looks really clean and a very nice starting point for a project.

Very clean example, hope the seller asked a realistic price under 6k. You got a nice car regardless.

Nice find. Clean foxes make great Sawzall food!

What did you get it for ? (price)

LOL 6k is not realistic on a car like this, 6k would be a steal. Foxes are going up like crazy and with miles like that 8k would be the low end for it. Some deals are out there, this one may have been one of those but low mile clean title coupes are becoming harder and harder to find.

Somewhere in the range of pricing listed in these two posts above and below.

Awesome man. I to got myself a fox notch as a project and I'm selling my cobra. Mine is a little rougher then that. Ex 4 cyl that's getting a carb'd 351.

Nice notch! And its always cool to meet easy going and standup car guys on craigslist.

 

[JustaGT5408]

Congrats, what are the plans for it?

 

[TClark22]

We know selling the cobra was a aweful idea we told you so!

Knowing how clean the cobra was...your Fox build will be nothing less.

Whats the plans for it? You should definitely put a Coyote in it.

I bought a bone stock mint, like new, and all paper work for less than 7k, I will say that much. 50k original miles. It is a lx hatch. Not to knock op because there is a butt for every seat, but after owning a few people try to sell these like they are gold, probably why most sit in craigslist termoil.

Key word here is "hatch". Apples to oranges my man...

Plans for now are 5 lug swap, cobra brakes upfront and I'm thinking a set of silver/anthracite bullitt wheels would look sharp on her.
