i dont OWN a 5.0...yet...i got a 98 v6, but i saw a 1990 5.0 convertable for 800 and was wondering if thats a good price? lol, it has alittle paint chippage in the back, faded paint and few things inside...only 56K miles...I was wondering if i should get it and ABOUT how much HP does a 90 5.0 have? (wanna compare to my 98v6)

:: also, im not gonna get rid of my 98, but id love a foxbody, always liked them

heres an image of it

 

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.

 

i havnt seen it in person...YET...but there are more pics...only MAJOR things are about 1-2inch paint chippage in the back, and in the front bumper, theres a crack...

here

also the interior is kinda funky...

here

wow, i didnt notice the hanging speaker and dirty interior til now...lol i can get a stain remover on that and some material cleaner...wax and shrine the car and itll look new...lol, maybe a 300 dollar maaco paintjob to make it look new

 

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.

 

soooo i guess its not worth it? what if i fixed it all up and sold it for 3K? or would that not work? and could i get a kit to replace the bumpers n stuff?

and does a 1990 5.0 have ABOUT 205HP? or less

 

depends on if you want RWHP or flywheel HP the other guy was right they made about 225hp or so at the flywheel,but at the wheels??? however my 91 with 70mm TB, 73MM mass, air shortty headders, no cat, no smog pump, under drives, a bullit flywheel, aluminium drive shaft, cold air intake(infender mount)and a 190LPH fule pump made 218RWHP

 

well, i basically wanna get the car, play with it, fix is up alittle, and then resell it...but I dont wanna put the cash into it if I won't be able to make more money?

heres more info on the car...

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.

 

i was gonna buy n fix everything myself...and idk if the place still has it, they have to email me but i cant get on yahoo...lol...

 

I would say with little doubt that the 90 vert has 156k mi not 56k mi. For $800 its still a fair price. I have bought and sold several fox mustangs in the past few years and verts seem to sell the best. If you hit the swap meets and use your resources you can have a lot of fun getting that car in decent shape.

 

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.

 

would u stop dreaming brendan and get the gt your parents are buying for u
