Purchased back in 2015 largely for nostalgic reasons and almost immediately started obsessing over ensuring all maintenance was up-to-date (see below). Car shows just under 80K on the odometer which I believe to be correct based on the Carfax from when I purchased it. Further evidence of this is the exceptionally minimal amount of rust on the exterior and underneath. I’m asking $3,500 and will include the original and extra parts I have for that price.

Since I purchased the car/within the last few hundred miles, the following has been done:
There are a few remaining issues:
Other bits that will come with the car are: Ford shop manuals, various maintenance records, and some spare/takeoff parts including original spindles, brake calipers, and grille; door cards; some interior trim; and weatherstripping.
Since I purchased the car/within the last few hundred miles, the following has been done:
- Full 60K with new belts, crank sensor, and cam sensor
- New ignition coil and wires
- New water pump, thermostat, all-aluminum radiator, and hoses with coolant system thoroughly flushed
- New cable shifter ends and fresh transmission fluid (added pipe plug per instructions on the forum)
- New O2 sensors, exhaust 2-to-1 gasket, springs, and bolts
- Fuel tank dropped, rust cleaned off, and painted
- New fuel pump, vapor one-way valve grommet, and filter
- Front spindles from a ’94 with new hubs/bearings running calipers off a Mark VIII (i.e., 96+ upgrade)
- Brake calipers rebuilt and new pads, rotors, and rubber hoses all around plus new hard brake lines from proportioning valve to rear hoses
- New halfshafts (including trans seals), lower control arms, inner & outer tie rods, front and rear stabilizer links, suspension bushings, and Monroe Quick-Struts including alignment
- Replaced passenger front door wiring harness (original had been cut at entry to vehicle)
- Seats replaced with ones from a later model (Gen 2?) which are 9.5/10 and carpet cleaned
- New 225/50R17 Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3 tires (on Borbet wheels)
- New Kenwood media receiver (stereo) and Infinity speakers all around including 10" sub w/amp in trunk
- Cleaned and re-oiled K&N air filter
- New hood support struts
There are a few remaining issues:
- Exhaust is leaking with large hole in driver side muffler, but isn't all that noisy
- Engine mount(s) may need to be replaced (some polishing of intake manifold)
- A/C is inoperable
- Power door locks are inoperable (despite changing out door wiring harness)
- Doors are not original to car and cards were previously modified
- No antenna (but older satellite antenna box in dash)
- Hood is missing two of the four bolts holding it to hinges
- Remaining underhood rubber hoses (to vacuum reservoir and power steering) should be replaced
- Rear bumper has a small crack
- Paint shows its age with a few touch-ups needed (but has been clay-barred, polished, and waxed so it looks decent from 10 feet)
