I don't know the car but from the pics its a nice complete 4 eye. At $4k, you better verify that its only 59k miles and not 159k. A clutch change at this low mileage is suspect. Go take a look and let us know.

You'll probably want to swap out the rear to 8.8 right away, the motors are not ho, carb tuning, non smoggable lol if pay no more than half of that if it is running perfect and the vin checks out for 59k which looking at the interior and hood, probably 159 or 259k. I like 4 eyes but it will be almost like a 4 banger swap, you'll want to upgrade everything. But as long as you know that coming into then it the end results are sick imo

Ahhh yeah I was thinking the same thing about it having only 59k.

I'll look more into it...plus, the guy lives in Sacramento and I'm not sure if I want to drive that far.

Update:
Odometer did not roll over and it has been sitting in the garage ever since. He also sent more pictures of the stang and I noticed the gas/clutch pedal is missing, however overall body seems straight. The interior is clean for its age…. I just noticed a rip on the passenger seat.
I’m tempted to drive to Sacramento but I need to dig more to make it worth the drive.

It's been on Craigslist for as long as I can remember. Something might be awfully wrong about it. [Razz]

The price is about 2k-1,500 to high.

After talking with the owner I decided to pass on the stang. It seemed fishy bc and he did not go into detail.. Every question I asked he reverted to “I bought it off my friend and my friend bought it off an old dude…”

After I heard that, I got off the phone with him haha

Were you looking for a 4-eye or just a fox?
