The price is ridiculously low. Besides the fact that it needs a top, what else is wrong with it? A new top will run you $700 to 1,000 installed.
The factory rated the car at 225 horsepower/300 lb/ft torque. |

Needs a NEW front bumper cover and right front filler. That damage is not repairable. The interior panel where the speaker is is really expensive, even used. They usually go for about $2-250 without the speaker grille.
$800 for the car. $700 for a top. $650 for damaged parts that you can see in the pictures. $300 for a really lousy paint job. $2450 total for a car that's obviously been heavily abused. |

Price $800 Body Style Convertible Mileage 58,736 Exterior Color Red Interior Color White Engine 8 Cylinder Gasoline Transmission Automatic is it worth the 2.5K to fixup, and if so, and w/e else and sell for 3K or no chance? and yea, can I just get a body kit for it to get rid of that HUGE crack in the front?

That's gotta be 156K If it was babied and was that far under mileage I don't think it would look like it does. 800 bucks is dirt cheap but consider that you can buy one in good shape for 3500-4000. You'd save time and money unless u do the repairs yourself. |

If the thing runs, Drives and has a solid frame $800 is a deal. Replacing interior is both cheap and easy. I can send you pics of the last interior I replaced and pics of the process on a 92 vert if you want. I still have pics of almost all the mustangs I have worked on over the years. Like I say its just a fun hobbie. All most all year mustang seats are interchangeble and carpet kits are a dime a dozen. There are a ton of 5.0 mustang wrecking yards, web sites, vendors and swap meets you can use to find parts at a fraction of the cost. If you enjoy doing the work you cant lose. not only will you learn alot, but make a little cash at a fun hobbie.
