    Lightbulb New member from Ft. Worth Tx. 85 coupe

    Hey guys I'm Nate, long ago I was a member on dfwmustangs, and now on the hunt to restore my 85 coupe, and I just now came across this site! A little about my project car, its a lifer TX car shipped to the middle of nowhere newark TX in 1985. Its an original light regatta blue 5.0, auto glx with power windows, locks, blue vinyl, and no center console. 2 owners ago it was converted into a stick shift police interceptor replica and painted black and white. Followed by the next guy that stripped, and primered it, in the process of gutting it, because race car. Being told that the original blue front seats were thrown in the dumpster behind a school made me feel sick. After some research, knowing that there were only 164 of these coupes, I did everything I could to snatch it up, and try my best to save it. This is my 6th mustang and third fox, my only issue is I've worked on all my cars, just never done a full on resto before, any help is greatly appreciated I need a few things here and there for it. I'll get more pictures for the post if you guys would like to see more, anyways Hello!

    Welcome to the site Nate!

    What's your actual plan? Full restoration or resto mod?

    I'm thinking resto mod, as its too far gone for me to return it to fully original. Sadly its just not a show pleaser, original color ext/int is all, and whatever it takes to get it running for now. Maybe someday a coyote swapped road course car. Funds permitting...
