Description of 1991 Ford Mustang |
This is a Super Rare True Steeda Built Foxbody Mustang. A notchback on top of that! I believe this is the first year that Steeda was building cars right from Ford with their blessing. The car sat for awhile and the dash plaque is faded and hard to read but it is most likely either #7 or 17 but when the at an angle you can read Engineered by Steeda Motorspots Inc. and Mustang along the top. I included a sketch of the plaquebecauseyou can actually read most of it with the right light but the camera will not get it. This was supposedly the dealer floor model and I'm told the original buyer bought it off the floor instead of placing an order. I could not find out for sure but it seems there were only 78 Steeda Mustangs built that year and almost all of them were 5 speed hatchbacks. This is almost certainly the only automatic notchback. Far fewer than Saleen Roush or SVT put out.The car needs work and I was planning on restoring it but just I recently lost my job so the funds for that will not be there for some time. I am not sure what happened to the front but the title and history are clean and the way you see it is the way it came to me. While it does need work it is very fast and I drive it regularly so the miles will go up. Ioriginallywanted to trade it for another Mustang that is not as rare but is in better condition. After seeing the response to the ad and the offers IreceivedI thought it would be best to put it here. Hopefully to get it into the hands of someone who will restore it to the way it should be. I was advised by several unrelated folks the looked at it on a price range. If it does not hit the reserve I will gladly keep it and it will remain ugly until next year when I can make her pretty again.Even though everyone who has looked at it have no question it is exactly what it is a true Steeda built foxbody you are more than welcome to come check it out for yourself before the end of the auction and BEFORE placing a bid. While Steeda did not keep great records back then each person I spoke with was completely confident its the real thing. If you have any questions or would like additional photos do not hesitate to let me know. I am not a mechanic in the slightest so use laymen terms with your questions. lol If anyone has additional information on these cars please share and I will share it here.I am in Pennsylvania and just contact me if you would like to come look at the car or send someone on your behalf.The car is for sale locally also.Some info on the car:The Not So Good:Front clip was not put back on properly and needs to be lined up correctlySome rattles (like a lot of foxbodies) so things could probably use a tighteningPossible alignment as I drive it daily and noticed some tire wearHood tricky to shut but does so securely.Another occasional stang thing.Needs body work and paint. Small spots of surface rust but nothing big or major.Overdrive not working. Not sure why but all else are fine I drive on the highway without issue. Possibly removed?Door handle on driver side needs new bolt/rivet and inside handle. The still work though.Ugly..needs some body work. The front clip is black but I'm told it's original.Passenger inside door panel needs popped back on along the bottom. Didn't even notice it for months. lolSteeda Dash Plaque and can read all but two numbers. Top of the back seat is faded from when it say awhile.Could use an oil change. I might get to that this week.The Good:Super rare one of 78 built that yearTry and find another (if you do please share I want to check it out)Notchbacks are hard enough to come across on their own.Clean title and no accidents reported on the vehicle history.Owner's book with notes from Steeda in the back. Including an opinion from Kenny Brown.Poloroid photo of the car probably from when the original owner brought it home. You can see Steeda oval over the 5.0 on the fender original wheels and window Banner too.Really fast and shifts great. This car will really fly.No rust on frame strut towers door bottoms fenders or floors. Trunk lid has veryminimalsurfacerust and nothing anywhere goes through.Interior in really good shape. Could use a cleaning but nothing split or broken. Top of back seat is faded some.Starts right up every time.

It had no issue passing Pa. safety & emissionslast year.The Ashtray door is original and still works!!! LOLThat is pretty much all I know about the car. It may need other things and Steeda may have done additional work to it I don't know. Again if you have any questions or need more photos just let me know.
