Hey everyone,
So I'm not new to four eyed cars, but I've always ended up finding '86 GT's when I go looking. As great as they are, I've always been so fascinated with the earlier year cars. For whatever reason, they're terribly uncommon around here though, in any trim. Even 83-84 cars are sparse, and anything before that just really never comes up. Recently though I stumbled upon a car that really fit the bill.
It's a 1980 Mustang hatchback, 4 cylinder/automatic in Bright Caramel with the white and chamois interior(what's left of it). My knowledge on the 79-81 cars is lacking, so I'm not sure if the lowest trim was called LX back then, but I hope someone can clarify that for me. In addition to the uncommon year, it's rather austere compared to the cars that anyone has bothered to keep running around here. It was ordered without power steering or AC, manual brakes, AM radio, etc. It does have a center console and originally had exterior molding.
It's quite a rough car aesthetically right now, but it's pretty solid as far as a foundation. Here's some quick pics I snapped, will get some better shots soon when I get it cleaned up at least. I'm still working on getting my third gen Firedbird ready to sell so I can really dig in on this car.
