Haha, the first owner had it as a show car when it was brand new, look at stripes under doors, hoses, and the paint to the right and left of engine. Guy after him drove it as a dd until tranny locked up then gave it to me. Also the pontiac on the rear bumper was painted in in those colors too.

Well you got a free car.

When I was in the military I built a 12 sec. Mustang out of a junkyard.

'90 Lincoln Mark VII motor with $60K (roller 302)
T-5 transmission
SVO 3.73 rear with disc brakes

All told cost me $500. I spent $2K for the rest of the parts needed. The '85 coupe was part of a trade so I got the car for free.

It can be done on the cheap and no one says it has to be by next week.
