chance what? if they are et streets and good condition they are worth keeping. I thought they looked like a form of street slick also. and those wheels with center caps and some paint wouldn't be a half bad temp either.

If he paid 600 for the fiberglass hood he's an idiot.

So, clearly this was rednecked together. Fixable. Good price for a rust free Fox. Interior needs work is an understatement, and it sits like a 4x4. Not to mention the electrical tape wiring, which would be my first fix.

Auto sucks, luckily T5's for these are cheap and plentiful.

Tails are painfully ugly.

Fuel pump isn't OEM style. Which I find odd, somebody would go through the trouble of rigging up another style fuel pump to work, on a carbed car. I would have just run a mechanical personally, but whatever. It works.

Extra tach seems super out of place. Firstly, theres already one there...Secondly it's an auto. Unless there's a stage 2 shift kit  it's completely useless, and I doubt the 351 will be revving to 10k.

Keep an eye on the single core radiator.

And what are the 2 random gauges on the hood?

Other than that, good find for the price. When you start working on it, please do it right.


Hey hey, my 351C would buck up to 10k

You already have the vacuum advance, its just not hooked up. Generally speaking you get better fuel mileage and better responsiveness with vacuum advance. Just Google how to set your timing using vacuum advance, I don't have time right now for a wright up but there's plenty on the internet. I highly recommend hokking it up, it can be day and night difference.
