1987 Mustang LX/5.0 Hatchback
Front 3/4 Passenger by Maxime Sonier, sur Flickr
A friend owner this car for the last 14 years. In the last few years, he had the vehicle completely repainted, refreshed the interior, built a new forged bottom end and top end, etc. It was time for his to move on to another project and I was searching for another Mustang.
Engine combo:
-Stock block 302
-Forget piston, crank and rods
-Blueprinted assembly
-Ported Edelbrock Performer RPM heads
-FRPP B303 cam
-Professional Products Typhoon Intake Manifold
-Shorty headers
-X-Pipe
-Unknown catback (Flowmaster tailpipes, unknown mufflers)
The car had some ignition issue last fall. A common friend changed the billet MSD distributor for a stock one and it was fixed. The previous owner didn't like the look so he reinstalled the MSD one. Since then the issue re-appeared. That's why I got it dropped at the same common friend today to fix it.

The plan:
I expect to drive this car more than my red one. I'll keep it in Cape Breton and bring it to Moncton once in a while. As such the car will be built to keep a better level of comfort. Lookwise, I plan a return to a more stock-ish look (ditch the front pony, LX tails, spoiler, stock hood and maybe a set of 17'' Pony R).
