What on earth possesed you to try and demolish a house. I know Volvos are supposed to be indestructible but come on...

 

I started with an 83 4 cyl notch myself. Great first mustang, learned a lot, and not fast enough to get in any real trouble...

that is a very clean car too...nice

 

Too bad it wasn't a Toyota.

 

my first car was an 88 4 cyl. coupe. No where near as nice as this one though...

 

i have been looking for an old volvo recently. lol

 

well, dove it home from L.A. last night, not bad at all, avergaed about 30mpg and the thing has not one alteration on it. bone Stock from the factory.. Needs carpet, headliner dash pad,windshild and little things but even the wire ford wheelcovers.. You just don't see stuf like this. The trunk is mint.. It has a trunk release button, did they have those on the non-SSP Coupes? More pics soon..

 

thats soo cool, i bet you could win some trophys in stock classes with that thing.

 

as far as I know, all foxes had the trunk release button in the glove box, SSP's are on the drivers side of the lower dash.

 

Hahahahaha!
Let me put it this way...
Wet pavement + left turn + power 1-2 shift on a RWD car by an unexperienced teenager=
Instead of slamming the brakes I kept the gas pinned and the car made a 360, when i tried to "correct" steer, with throttle still pinned, BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM! the wall was all i saw.
The front end moved to the right more than a foot since i hit it on the left corner. you could see the left tire! But the thing started again, leaking coolant and all, but It bought me home.
A friend of mine told me that it would cost me $600 to fix it sans parts, which i had on a parts car I got for free. When I finally had the cash, my doggy needed an operation, so the car was out,.I sold it for $150 to an old guy, and the parts car for $75.

 

I'd be dead instead, but not from the crash, for the rust cloud intoxication!

 

When your kid figures out that thats the best car for a V8 5.0, Look out because that thing will fly.

 

+1. Keep it stock!

 

Thats pretty scary lol. Glad things worked out though

 

I think I have pics somewhere. If I find them I'll ask a friend of mine to scan them to show the wreckage, so the kids see what happens when Mom and Dad tell you to drive slowly and you don't pay attention to their wise words.

 

New windshield, Wheels and Tires from our storage, cleaned polished and all the trim done. We kept the original wheel covers of course but it just amazes me how the wheels make the car look.. Now he needs a job and his grades are heading up so maybe its working, the motivation part that is!

 

looks good, it is amazing what respraying the black accents will do to the overall look of a mustang. the ten holes look better but pony's would look bad ***. making him work for it is an awesome reward that will make him enjoy it even more. just my .02

 

Looks really clean

 

Lookin' Good!

 

looks really clean... probably not a bad idea with the 4 cyl... Speaking from experience, its never good having a 5.0 at a young age. I bought my first Mustang at 17, an '88 5.0....I should have never had that car since I never had anything that powerful.. it was almost a death wish, never mind the insane insurance rates.

 

Thanks for all the responses and yes I agree with you about the 5.0 as he is not ready I think for that after driving around the other day with him..
