THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR COMPLIANCE. WELCOME TO OUR SHORT 5 DAY AUCTION FOR THIS 1988 FORD MUSTANG LX HATCHBACK WITH GT PACKAGE-5.0 V-8, 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND GT SUSPENSION. ITS MY SONS CAR AND IT NEEDS A LITTLE WORK HE IS NOT CURRENTLY ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH. WE BOUGHT IT AS A PROJECT HE COULD DRIVE WHILE FIXING AND HE LOST INTEREST (I HAVEN'T, BUT ITS UP TO HIM!) I AM LISTING IT FOR PARTS/REPAIR AS IT NEVER FAILS TO START, RUNS STRONG AND DRIVES, HOWEVER IT HAS DEVELOPED A HEAD GASKET LEAK, SOMETHING WHICH ALMOST NEVER OCCURS WITH THESE ENGINES, BUT I THINK IT MAY HAVE HAD A PROBLEM THAT HAD BEEN DOCTORED UP WHEN HE BOUGHT IT. IT RUNS BETTER WHEN LOW ON WATER, A SURE SIGN WATER/COOLANT IS GETTING INTO A CYLINDER WHEN THE RADIATOR IS FULL, AND WHEN ITS COLD AND YOU START IT, THE RADIATOR HAS WAY TOO MUCH PRESSURE RIGHT AFTER STARTING IT, ANOTHER SURE SIGN. IT HAS A NEW RADIATOR AS THE OLD ONE WAS FULL OF RUSTY WATER WHEN HE ACQUIRED IT SO WE CHANGED IT OUT AND FLUSHED THE COOLING SYSTEM-ITS PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD GASKET SHOWED UP ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS LATER. THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO ALL THE GEARS, BUT I THINK IT MAY NEED 2ND AND 3RD GEAR SYNCHROS REPLACED AS IT GRINDS IN THOSE GEARS WHEN YOU SHIFT IT FAST. THE CLUTCH SEEMS TO BE GOOD AND SOLID WITH NO SLIP, AT LEAST THE LAST TIME I DROVE IT WHICH WAS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO-ITS BEEN SITTING FOR ONLY A MONTH. IT HAS SOME RUST AROUND THE SHOCK TOWERS, A COMMON THING ON THESE, WITH THE WORST BEING THE PASSENGER SIDE-PICTURED. THAT SIDE ALSO HAS SOME TEARS TO THE METAL INSIDE THE ENGINE BAY, AND A SLIGHT STRESS TEAR ON THE PASSENGER FENDER, A SURE INDICATION ITS TIME TO DO SOME WELD WORK!-ITS ALL SOMETHING A LITTLE WORK WITH A WELDER AND SOME SHEET METAL/A NEW SHOCK TOWER WILL TAKE CARE OF. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR GLASS WAS BROKEN OUT BY A WOULD BE THIEF WHO WAS SCARED OFF BEFORE STEALING ANYTHING-THAT JUST HAPPENED A WEEK AGO, AND WE KNEW WE WOULD BE SELLING IT, SO THAT WE WILL LEAVE UP TO YOU. THE DRIVERS SIDE ROCKER PANEL WAS CRUSHED IN ALONG THE BOTTOM WHEN MY SON BOUGHT THE OLD CAR AND THAT WAS A PLANNED REPAIR THAT NEVER HAPPENED. IT HAS AN AFTERMARKET SUNROOF THAT NEEDS A NEW SEAL AS IT LEAKS A LITTLE WHEN IT RAINS OR YOU RUN IT THROUGH A CAR WASH. ITS FILTHY AS WE DID NOT WASH IT BEFORE THE PHOTOS, AND IT SITS UNDER TREES IN OUR DRIVEWAY (WE ARE TRYING NOT TO START IT OR DRIVE IT SINCE ITS DEVELOPED ITS PROBLEM-IT RUNS WELL ENOUGH TO GET IT ONTO A TRAILER. THE HOOD IS AN AFTERMARKET FIBERGLASS HOOD WITH NO LATCH-IT JUST USES HOOD PINS TO KEEP IT DOWN. THE REAR HATCH WAS REPLACED AND IS OFF THE SAME CAR AS THE HOOD-THE ORIGINAL REAR HATCH HAD SOME TINY RUST PERFORATIONS. THE REPLACEMENT IS MUCH NICER, WE DO ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL HOOD AND HATCH IF YOU WANT THEM. ITS A GREAT PROJECT FOR THE RIGHT PERSON WHO HAS THE TIME AND MONEY TO MAKE IT NICE AGAIN! BRING A TRAILER AS WE DO NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING IT ANY DISTANCE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ERIC OR LOGAN AT 316 806-6975. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR NO RESERVE AUCTION AND DON'T LET THIS ONE GET AWAY!!!
