87 Sport F/S Not Running $500

I'm in Springtown, Tx (close to Fort Worth) and need this car gone. It is NOT running and will have to be towed. The driveshaft is still disconnected from the last move. Last I checked a U-haul car dolly is around $65 bucks. The wife has put her foot down and I can only have one project. So about the car...

It's a 87 Sport with no rust and a straight body. There are a few hail dings but not a lot. It would be a great parts/project car for cheap because I'm only asking $500

Front Suspension: MM camber plates, TC 11" brake conversion, Urethane swaybar bushings, TC springs.

Rear Suspension: TC springs, 3.55 TC 8.8 rear with disk brakes, 20K miles on rebuilt traction lok.

Tranny is an AOD from GER with the 2.84 wide ration gear set and non lock-up convertor with 2000 stall.

Engine is a partially disassembled 5.0 E6 block (flat tops) with E7 heads, HO cam. I have all the parts not on the car and all the hardware is bagged and labeled. Its got 19# injectors and stock HO headers with a stock HO mustang cat pipe and dual Magnaflow lers. The EEC IV is a speed density EEC from an 88 mustang.

If you're near north Texas this car may be for you :)

Save your money! I’d hate to see her go to the s yard but I don’t think she’s got much more time with the wife breathin down my neck, lol…

Lots of great parts on it.  You’d probably double your money parting it out. I wish I could but my wife wants the whole car gone.

BTW, Vinnie, your car looks awesome. I remember when you were still collecting parts for it. Great work!

To be fair on my wife... She's going to buy me an engine (probably a 347, maybe a 408) for my 86 on the condition that the 87 disappears. She's not a total tyrant, lol....

Understand that. Gotta give a little to get a little. LOL

Hope you find a good home for the bird. I'd be dragging it home if it was closer.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
