New owner- 1993 Mustang LX Notchback! 347 Stroker

[Bzammitt]

Good morning everybody!

My name is Brett and I will be taking possession of this beautiful 93 notch in the upcoming week or two. This used to be my cousin’s vehicle, he fell behind on the payments and my uncle paid off the loan before it was repossessed. My cousin had it for about 2 years and my uncle for the past 5. I am buying it for a fun second vehicle

I don’t even know everything that is done to it (neither does my uncle), perhaps some of you can chime in what you see. The engine is a 347 stroker.

Nice car! Welcome to the site.
At quick glance, aside from the obvious intake manifold upgrade, the alternator was upgraded to a 3g, judging from the fact that there is the added proportioning valve (left side of the bay near firewall) you’ve had a rear disc/ 5 lug upgrade, and the caster camber plates point to it having aftermarket lowering springs.

Thank you! Yes, I knew about the 5-lug/rear disc upgrade. Obvious MSD ignition. Looks like an adjustable FPR. I believe it has rear adjustable coilovers as well. He said the frame has all kinds of supports (I’ll have to get it on a lift and see). He’s a couple more pics

Great Fox. Everything looks real nice.

Any rough guesses of what you guys think it’s worth? I’d like to know if I’m at least getting a solid deal (and not over paying)

At least $10k, prob $15k realistically. Would need more detailed pics to evaluate further. Underside? Strut towers? Rust? Mileage? Who rebuilt the motor? Paperwork on the rebuild? Etc

Nice ride.From the pics looks like clutch cable was removed in favor of hydraulic set up ,as there is a resovior mounted to drivers strut tower.

Ok that’s what I was thinking! I’m getting it for $12k which includes a new spare 347 short block (that I likely will be selling). Underside and strut towers are spotless, no sign of rust anywhere. I’ll post more photos when I pic it up. Motor was actually rebuilt by my uncle(s), no paperwork
