Buy my fiancee a Mustang race car?

Kevin Price · 10-17-2002, 09:48 PM

In a quandry here. My fiancee loves going to the track and watching me race and would like to try racing herself. Talked to a guy this evening who has a 78' Mustang for sale. I know, a 78' is not one of the best Mustangs produced. Antually, they are the ugliest.

Anyway, it has a 302 with a C4 w/ a b&m shifter, 9 inch, line lock, and a cage. Skinnies with new slicks in the rear. The car is primered and with a little sanding will be ready to paint.

The car is a high 12, low 13 second car and is ready to go.

I can get the car for a mere $1400.

Sounds like a good starter car and if she decides she doesn't like racing I think I can get my money back and maybe make some.

What do you all think????

I say go for it man, For that, you can get your money back.. Let her try it.. but remember if she does really like driving.. Youve just spent your retirement..

I'd say go for it. What do you have to lose? I could have sold her a Fully race prepped 89 GT..with no motor or tranny

You could part it out and get more for it. I say get it. 78?? Put some stock rims on it and go street racing. Its a no-lose situation.

I had a '77 with motor and trans work done. You would not believe how easy it is to pick a fight in a car like that! Almost the most fun I had in high school
