Ford Mustang 1981 Description
1981 Mustang LX. very, very clean for its age. (Please remember this car is 35 years old). Mechanically the car is perfect. Car was originally 4 cylinder and someone dropped a 302 with a T5 in it.Car only has 5 digit odometer. Currently around 89k. Unknown if it has rolled over or not. Clean clear Michigan title lists the mileage as exempt.
The only reason I'm selling this car is because it's basically an ideal street car - quick, good looks. I'm looking to go more of a drag route and want to build a notch back - otherwise I'd keep it.

The Bad:
-The paint is original. Bumpers are faded, moldings could use a painting. Some rock chips and scratches.
- The hatch has a bubble of rust on it about the size of a half dollar. Bumpers are faded. There is slight bubbling in paint on pillars behind side windows. Slight surface rust on front frame rails. (All of this can be easily repaired by competent body man)
-tachometer only goes to 2000rpm and stops. I have an OEM replacement that will go along with car, as well as LED white bulbs to make gauges brighter. Just have not had time to install.
- Front tires can rub over big bumps (never rolled fenders in front. Easy fix)
