Barn find

Just picked up the car I have wanted since my childhood, lucked up and found an 87 foxbody trunk car, been sitting nearly 20 years. Needs some interior work and paint correction along with exterior trim and a good tune up. Hope to learn a bit from this forum.

Nice find. Those LX 5.0's were slightly quicker than the GT since they lacked the weight of all of that body cladding.

Yes it does, carpet and headliner has been removed, need to do some patches in the floor pans,it isn’t as bad as it could be, 2 very small spots on each side, the rest of the car is solid. Once that’s done then it’s dynamat and new carpet kit,The car is running but needs a tuneup, probably gonna put a good clutch kit in it before it hits the steeets. Also have a 5 lug conversion swap in the books. Anyone done the ranger axles in the rear?
