    BBR's 545 83GT

    Here it is!!!

    Picked this up today and an 8.8, install kit and some 3.90 gears.

    The wet pics make the paint look pretty good. It is really faded. Interior needs work, but that stuff is available.









    The underbody is very very clean and that makes me very very happy. Odo shows 70k miles.

    Re: BBR's 83GT

    BBR, I missed out on what happened to the "Tooth and Nail" Ranger.....but this looks like it could be fun as well.

    What are your plans for the 'stang? Refreshing to see someone with something other than an '87-up Fox-body(says the Camaro guy...LOL).

    Is this one of the final GT's to come with an honest-to-goodness Holley on it from the factory? I noticed the dual-snorkel air filter housing...reminds me of the dual-snorkel unit on my wife's '8 Z28 H.O. 5-speed that I need to ressurect for her.

    That interior looks typical of a Texas/southwest car....you-un's have rust-free goodies, but that sun is just BRUTAL on plastic/vinyl/cloth!

    Looks like a great start. My personal preference is for the EFI cars but there's certainly nothing wrong with that style either.

    Have fun!

    The 83 GT was my first Stang.

    4 eyes are cool, I'd take any Fox, though I long for an LX coupe.

    Gotta agree with Smoke, though my thing usually falls for '79-'82 GTs...my mom had a '81 when I was a little kid. Looks straight enough, almost like the paint could be saved..that interior, though, is the reason I didn't like checking out old iron in Texas. Brings back memories of the Dip's heat-rotted A-pillars.

    Ranger -> I just decided to abandon it in favor of something me and my 2 boys can all ride in.

    Yes parts of the interior are definitely crispy.

    Plans:

    5 lug conversion
    8.8 swap
    Swap in the Ranger's motor/trans
    Drive the snot out of it.

    So how hard is it for son #2 to get in the back seat with the roll bar? Does he climb in from the hatch?

    I lean the passenger seat forward and both of them just skink under. No big deal for them.
