Bought a dream builder from colorado

I have owned several jeeps and build all day but my dream has always been to have my cherokee and a 5.0 to restore.. I finally got my dream lol.. Picked up this 88 coupe 5.0 body. Needs motor and trans but the car is complete otgerwise.. Most accesories came with car. Interior is pretty good shape. Extremly rust free and extremly straight. Found a couple dings but could not believe the condition. I am very mechanically inclined but first stang so i am sure i will need plenty of advise and help. Thanks in advance. Super excited for this

Great find and welcome to the forum. Those notchbacks are classic. Drop some power in that thing and get rolling.
