Nice find!!! Pennsylvania?--Yes, you are Right about the rust-free situation for sure...Working on mine as well--trying to get it on the road in Connecticut. Seeing one on the road is almost like seeing a ghost these days around my area.
@@parkersgarage4216It needs the brakes sorted... It came with Lincoln calipers in the front--I want to change them over to stock rebuilt front calipers and a stock size master cylinder...It's not idling when you first start it up... Than the idle surges until it's warmed up a bit... I've replaced the intake air temperature sensor and the coolant temperature sensor so far, which has helped a bit. I'm wondering if an injector or two is fouled and whatever else might be wrong with it (Perhaps a vacuum leak). It has a Ford e-cam which only complicates things a bit more. I've seriously thought of selling it on but don't want to give up on it completely... It's an '86 with a rather good condition body and paint... Plus a Saleen body kit complete with a poser windshield banner which will be removed.
@@andrewlopson3394 gotta love the poser mods ya know lol. funny im fighting a similar issue. mine runs like shit at first startup and surges from 5-1500 rpm for about 2-3 minutes. after that it idles fine. it was much worse in the very beginning though for sure it wouldnt even idle for shit. i replaced the cap, rotor, plugs and wires, coil, ect, act, and the temp sensor on the manifold. new tps and iac and i also replaced the bad capacitors in the pcm. its gotten better but still same issue. only thing left is 02's, injectors, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel filter. my issue is i dont know if it has a cam in it. previous owner said no but he also told me it had 410 gears which it has 373. my problem is misinformation along w shit new parts. even these new parts they sell are pretty much garbage. im really about to just go holley terminator x and be done w it. i also replaced all vacuum lines as the ones that were there werent leaking but all were cracked. ive about had enough already. im seriously thinking terminator x and be done w all the bs. the other thing i know is that sometimes these cars will sound like they have a cam in them but dont. its sad you cant get oem stuff anymore. these aftermarket parts are just junk. itll be nice once i figure this mf out. the terminator x though is looking real good. good luck figuring yours out. brakes are an easy fix though for sure.
Nice man , an that guy who got rid of that is crazy!! An yes that cobra badge an them played out cobras an that twin turbo hood definitely needs to all go to a yardsale are goodwill.. lol.
I’m envious!!! 😂 Had an 84 SVO in high school. Bought a stock 95 “new” in 2000 and built the hell out of it. Ended up being totaled while parked by someone without insurance. Now I got a 63 Galaxie built FE 4 speed car and I freaking MISS being behind the wheel of a Mustang!! 😂😂
@@parkersgarage4216 I’d love a Fox, but with how hard a solid example is to find these days. I’m open to anything from 86 until 2004 that’s solid and not beaten to a pulp. My dad’s had a few 70 Mach 1’s over the years. I’ve kind of been thinking about an 03-04 Mach.
@@Nick_B_Bad it is really hard to find a good example these days. i simply got lucky as hell. the engine on mine is still stock. which is also damn near impossible to find. then no rust hah good fucking luck. i do like the new edge mach 1's for sure. my favorites though are the terminators for obvious reasons lol. i will say if youre not in a rush though. you can find a good foxbody to buy and have fun with. if thats truly what you want of course.
@@afkdenver3790 for sure, I just took out the computer and had the typical corroded leg on capacitor. The other caps were swelled and leaking. Replacing those currently.
Nice !! i had an 89LX , loved that car like it was my brother .. broke my heart when i traded it in .. 3:73 rear end , MAC shorty headers , GT40 intake , Rumble pack mufflers , MSD coil and wires , Short shifter , stifffer clutch pack , Saleen aero with DECH rear end .. it was a hella car . Drove it for 3 years .
@@mattcan69 sounds like a fun one, mine has 4:10 or 11 which are Hella fun. Mine has shorts w x pipe to straight pipes w turndown. I have shorty shifter as well. Sorry to hear u got rid of it. Just get another one. I just took out my computer and the capacitors need changed in it. Currently doing that. I'm essentially going down a punch list lol.
