Default WTT 83 Mustang LX T-Top 351W swap

Ok I got new transmission in the car, so she runs fine. I love my car to death and I dont really want to trade or sell it, but if someone wants to make an offer, I'm listening.

Ive done all the swap and wiring myself so I know the car inside and out.

Engine: 91 302 about 110K on the engine, less than 10K miles since all mods and work was done C4 tranny, new lightened flexplate, have a stock flexplate thats fine, and an extra stock torque converter.

mods: Edelbrock Performer intake, 2 3/4" headers, MSD 6AL ignition, MSD Blaster 3 coil, MSD billet distributor, 4bbl 850cfm dual input carb, bosch plugs and ford racing wires. heads have fresh valvetrain and are ported.
Engine may have aftermarket cam too, but I dont know. New gaskets on the engine. Holley Blue series electric fuel pump. new high speed flexfan. has power steering.

Exterior: car is original black with red trim, teal colored 85 rear spoiler, teal colored Solarwing, 85 Pony rims(alloys), need new tires all around really. dry rotted from sitting. few small dings here and there but no major body damage or rust. new rear shocks.

Interior: cleanest original interior youll find on a 83 around here buddy. Cloth seats, no rips or tears(no cig burns). t-tops have original weatherstripping and do NOT leak. Car sits under a roof but most I ever noticed was a little water in the ttop latch housing. Has a red led switch that turns on the lights to the pillar guages and the cd player. I modified the original stereo housing to fit a modern single dimm head unit. I need to make a face plate still, but its not hacked up. has voltmeter and water temp guage. needs new heater core, lines arent hooked up.

Im probably forgetting alot but Ill update the thread as I make progress.
I'm looking for a clean, non riced import. can be modded. must be 5 speed. prefer Honda/Acura, not a must. I would sell the car outright, but if you want to make a serious offer, then PM me. Im in no hurry to sell this car and I still want to do work to it, but the price will go up as I put more money into this car. or $2800 OBO cash

Im gonna take more pictures tomorrow if it isnt raining. These are about 5 months old when the transmission wasnt in the car.
