I love the 80's!!! *in that robot voice* 8)

this is the '83 that i used to reminisce to you guys about.. my first car.. a 5.0 mustang. It brings back good memories.

He even let me drive it.. (i had to let him drive the cobra, of course)

I drove it to my ex-girlfriend's house.. that was my first of many stops. We had a shitty relationship for many reasons, one being that she hated the cobra.. and loved the 83... it lit her face right up to see me roll up in that beauty.

I could have cruised in that all day.. boy i missed it. Im real glad that the new owner is an older guy that keeps it nice, and takes it to car shows. He's won first place a few times.

without further ado,

It's got pony wheels, BBK lowering springs, a forged, roller 5.0 with a weiand intake, and edelbrock carburator, headers, pulleys, ICE cold A/C, and power seats out of a 95 6-cyl mustang.

when I had it, I put 93 'vert doors on it with shaved handles and power windows, but the new owner put the original roll-up doors back on for originality.

Did I say I love that car!!

Sweet ride, Homer. I'm a sucker for a square-headlight car. If I ever finish the Cobra, a mid-eighties coupe is gonna be my project car. Thanks for sharing.

There was a 5.0 t-top coupe in Texas for sale about 6 weeks ago that I wanted really badly, but the current situation doesn't allow for it. If I ever find another, I've got to grab it.

They are. They were an exclusive Ford Executive (loaner to Ford Bigwigs) production run, so they made very few. If you see one, you know it's got options on it because the execs like their toys.

5.0 coupe + t tops = mad fun:D
