First off this isn't a Honda, or even a Japanese car.
My friend's brother has a Black '99 Mustang that threw a rod a little while back. It's a V6 Convertible, with 120,000 miles on it. The transmission shifts smoothly, it's a 4 speed automatic.
So far I know the car needs:
-engine (can this be rebuild instead of replaced?)
-ABS sensor rear
-MAF sensor
I checked the suspension out, to see if it needed anything really badly or anything. Rocked it up and down, shook the tires, ball joints are good, shocks are good it doesn't bounce. New tires. All fluids were good, in transmission and all that too. Engine hasn't had an oil change in a while i guess which caused it to fail.... sad dying at 120k due to stupidity =/
The car has been sitting since October or so, it's still sitting there. Car runs and drives.
I'm somewhat close to the father, and I think he's sick of looking at it, I might be able to get it for less than $500... maybe even free.
I plan to either keep the car or sell it depending on how much I would get for it. It would be nice to have another car around anyway.
So is this worth doing?
local scrap yard / salvage yard has 4 Mustangs to pick parts from. Engines priced at $500.
