About my car

Moved to Oklahoma met a guy on Craigslist and he was selling his grandmothers mustang which was sitting under a car porch for over 11 years all original factory ford parts. It still has the original drive out tag and window price sticker .. I'm trying to restore it all I did was replace the fuel pump, tank, and new battery and it cranks rite up ...Love the 5.0s

This car was made in 1988 and I've driven it since 2016
The Ford Mustang (3rd Gen) was in production from 1979 to 1993
