Bought a 93' Notch

Whaler · 10-25-2011, 09:14 PM

How many Notch Mustangs are close to stock? This one is and may be the slowest one here, but it's a a fairly clean reef blue 93' and even has the factory cassette stereo.
I have questions for the Mustang guys.
1. It's a 5 speed car. What gear did they use from the factory?
2. The rear tires are 225/60R16's and are like new. The fronts are 215/60R16 and need replacing immediately. The car has been lowered slightly with aftermarket springs. I would like to move the 225's to the front and put something larger on the rear. How big can I go on the factory 5 spoke wheels?
3. Where is the best place to order a few small items such as ash tray door and trunk carpet?

I want to say 273,308 and You can go something like 245's on the back. I think the auto's came with 327's.

thats the last year of the box style mustang right? i remember trying to buy one of them when i was 16,, insurance company wanted more than my car payment was going to be.. =(

Thanks for the link, Harry. They may be getting some money from me.
Another question, the tach is stuck on 4,000 but will go higher if the motor revs higher, but will not go below that. Is that hard to fix?

Is that easy to fix or a "Gerald Repair"?

Yeah, keep it in one piece and drive it everyday to work. I also want to fix the little things and make it nicer.

A good clay/buff/wax job will do it wonders and MAYBE some new wheels. Ive seen a car just like yours with a set of True Forged wheels that look amazing.

a BBC is going to be a tight fit. nice car Larry
