It's nice but, I wouldn't kill it as a DD. These are becoming rare. Maybe clean it up a bit, keep it, or sell make a profit and get a throw away Camry or something.

It is a very nice piece. :beer:

I drive very minimal during the week. Weekend's are Marauder time. I know what you mean though. No plans of selling though

Sweet find man! You can get a bolt on On3 Turbo kit from an advert in MM/FF magazine for like $1200 I think. :burn:

nice, great color too, what does the bra look like in person, I don't remember them looking that way.

It says Mustang on the front. I took it off today. I almost want to say that bra has been on it almost it's whole life. I remember when this guy bought this car. The bra has been there as long as I can remember.

Plan on keeping it bone stock or going to do any minor upgrades?

I had an '88 GT. Wish I still had it, it was a fun car to drive.

Keeping it stock. I have an 88 coupe that's modified. May install frame connectors, and lower it a little.

Funny thing, my first coupe was white just like that one. I ended up taking I too far. Got frustrated with it and sold it
Mistake!!!

Not sure. The title just says Blue.

Congrats!

BTW: A bone stock 5.0 from that era is SUPER rare.

Let the modding begin!!!......:banana:

yes, I'm doing some preventative maintenance on it this week. Installed new shocks/struts today. Cut 1 1/4 coil off the front and 3/4 of the rear springs. Sits perfect. Going to swap out the water pump and t Stat tomorrow. Ordered a new fuel pump and filter also. Should be ready to roll after all that.

Only mods I'm working towards are swapping the tranny for a 5 speed when I find a good T5. I have pedals already. Going to install my 3.55's I pulled from the MM also. It has 2.73's now.

Congrats. I have enjoyed my '93 (same color) since the day it arrived at the dealership in 1993. I have placed just under 90,000 miles on it, mainly daily driving and MCA shows.

My mods brought the car to 750 HP and 545 Ft-Lbs so I also take it to Englishtown for a few passes each season.

Nice. Sounds like a nice car you have. This one could use a paint job. It sat under a car port all its life. Probably never waxed though. Interior is perfect(BLACK) with the exception of the headliner

Congrats man! Great color combo and factory sunroof! :up:

I still have an eye out for a cheap fox vert or T-Top car to drive. I'm almost at the end of the rope with my vert (I wish Martyo was closer...:(). Don't know that I'll ever sell the vert, but, it would be nice to have a more stock 5.0 to kick around in. The Foxes are going up in prices though.

That's exactly why I've been looking for a stocker to kick it around in. My wife think I'm crazy for ditching the Acura RSX, but I just told her she just don't understand the feeling of having a cool foxbody to roll.

I put in new shocks/struts, cut 1 1/4 of the front and 3/4 off the rear springs. The rear needs another 1/4 cut off to be perfect. I like the look though.

I always drive the old cars in my family. The Marauder is the newest car I have owned in years, lol! I always loved the Mark VII LSC and to curb my stick shift urges, I always had a couple 5.0 Mustangs to choose from. I figure that I would rather have a few cool old cars than one newer one.

Very nice! Are those American Racing Wheels on it? What size are the rims? They look great!

If the paint code is KF, then it is one of 840 made in 1993.

Man that looks awesome. Makes me want to paint mine now.

Same here. People always talking about me having 2-3 cars, but as you say, they are old cars. My 3 cars don't add up in value to their 1 new car. Not even close. My MM is the newest car I've owned as well.

Paint code says KF and YJ. So I guess it's 1 of 840 then. Good info
