Wanted 86-93 Mustang Notchback

All I have is my dirt driveway. Wish I had a shop.

and.......winter is here...... At least you don't have to worry about the paint job...for a while...

That car used to be red, and look to have gotten a macco paint job at one point. Being that the car has been living in Kansas, I would assume the car has rust. How long has the current owner owned it ?

I think he said 4 years.

I don't have a Facebook account so I can't login to see the pics.

If you are able to get the owner to send you pics of the underside, try to look at the condition of the upper and lower torque boxes (area where the upper and lower control arms bolt to the subframe and floor) and look for cracks or tearing metal. If driven hard and those areas not reinforced the factory tack welds will fail/crack.

I looked back at the ad for this car..... down below, there's a video showing the engine running.... It may be the audio, due to the phone recording,... it wasn't a perfect idle, but that may be the sound 'pick-up, to the phone's mic. It wasn't bad..... The dust, all over the engine..... it is fairly even.... ( dirt roads?)... But also, it didn't look like anything has been replaced recently. That may be a good sign??

I also asked him about the idle. Almost sounded like it had a tap. He said there's no strange noises--no tap.

cell phones.... The microphone doesn't pick up all the sounds.... especially if the recording is 3 feet away. ( the engine looked like it wasn't shaking )

I don't have Facebook either but was able to view the pics.
