Picked up another Mustang

[rjw]

Well I must confess that as I attended the MCA National, a man drove in to the car corral with a'93 LX 5.0 hatchback with only 21,XXX miles...you guessed it--I bought it on the spot. Calypso green and clean as a whistle.

The vehicle in photo #1 looks very plain indeed. The color does not move me.

Richard,
The car definately looks clean, I think the color is very unique, which is something I like. I always liked the fox body style.

Richard;
That is one sweet car I love the color. I just sold my 91 LX 5.0 to enable me to buy my GT/CS even though I had bought the GT/CS before the LX sold. I almost cried as I watched it go up the road and listened to the sound. Unlike most folks, I had dropped a 347 stroker motor into it and you talk about a car that would move. I will have another one someday.

Don,
I think the former owner of this car felt the same way...I believe he had really babied it since he bought it new, and was said to see it go. As for the color, well, it's not highland green like my California Special, but since I had a teal '93 Cobra in mind, it fit the bill pretty well.

Now I like the color. When my post was written the photo in #1 was blank. Supposed to be tounge in cheek but did not read that way. Sorry and in no way meant to say that the color of your vehicle was blah - in fact I like the color very well. Murf

Richard;
What color is your interior in your GT/CS? My 68 GT 390 is highland green with nugget gold interior. Would be kinda neat to see another car of the same year with same color and interior.

Don ;D

Don,
My California Special is highland green, has the black vinyl top and has a black interior; the GTCS stripe is white. Oh how I wish it was a 390 like yours!

Richard;
The 390 is nice as long as you don't have to work on it. There's just no room to do anything with. I had one heck of a time getting my headers on it and now I've got to go back and put on a set of stage 8 locking header bolts. The factory bolts won't stay in. I had the same problem with my LX. But, even with all the skinned knuckles and busted elbows it's well worth it.

I would suggest going to a place that specializes in nuts and bolts. I don't remember what the correct name is, but I bought some two piece lock washers that cured all my manifold problems. The one side of each half looks kind of like stairs that are opposite each other and lock together and the other side has serrations radiating from the center out. Since I put them on, I've never lost a gasket.
