sold the durango and bought an 86 LX for my new DD. went to look at it and it's the original owner selling. starts and runs great. completely stock except for the cat back was replaced. as of now i've stripped the interior, sanded down some surface rust, and primered those places. dying the stained gray carpet black till we can buy a black interior kit.

after two cleanings w/ simple green

found a few friends when removing interior. 2 were still alive

my wife doing her first tune up ever. grease up to her elbows

I am really starting to like 4 eyes more and more...nice find and moar pics of the wife working on the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you just got a lot cooler

 

[Chris951]

Nice find! looks like its gonna be a fun project

 

[psycho bob]

the only fox i have ever been interested in owning was an 85/86 GT. this one of course isn't the GT, but will do very nicely. from what i understand there were in comparison very few LX 5.0's to GT's. wonder how many could be had in such stock form now. this thing still has the smog pump on and working. that along with the factory tape player and speakers that work perfectly. i think i'll leave it just as stock as i found it. any thoughts on that

 

[Jucostud]

Haha, lol. Leave it stock? Don't fool yourself. Parts for that car are a dime a dozen. Pretty soon that car will be making 300+ when u h-c-i it

 

[limegold06gt]

fix it up nice then add some power to make it a fun dd

 

[Chris951]

I think you should repaint it the same color. Re-do the interior stock colors or black. Keep the 10 holes. H/C/I, exhaust, gears, done. Oh, and clean up the engine bay!

[grnstang]

i'd get it looking good inside and out..then do some mild upgrades for better performance and gas mileage

 

[grnstang]

oh and congrats!!

 

[psycho bob]

first order is absolutely paint and interior. since this one is a dd most of the money for toys will still go to the 07. already have heads, cams, gears, intake, truetrac, blah blah blah. nitrous kit sitting in the shed to install.

 

[89Domindart]

I agree, just mod it slightly, leave most of the moneys for the garage stang

 

[89Domindart]

what about did you pay for it?

 

[onederful100]

I agree, just mod it slightly, leave most of the moneys for the garage stang

i agree too. dont want 2 money pits. lol.

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

I like it lots! I think keeping it all orginal would be a great idea... not many of those around here... for some reason 4 eye cars are the sex...

 

[Notcho]

Awesome score! And yes there were less 5.0 LX cars compared to GTs... and even fewer 5.0 LX notchbacks.

 

[psycho bob]

paid 1800 for it. i'm sure i could have found a much nicer one for a bit more, but at the same time it would likely have been used and abused. buying from the original owner is what sold me on it.

 

[Notcho]

Original owner cars (especially a fox) are hard to come by these days. 1800 is great for an unmolested, solid, 1 owner fox.
