dover Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Never heard of a 337? Maybe you mean 347? If so its going to be hard to tell if it is a true 347 due to a 347 being a stroked 302! I would test drive and see how fast is. A healthy 347 should pull you back pretty good. Common rust areas are the trunk, door wells, inner fender wells, pop the hood check the engine bay for scuffs, rust, over spray. Buying a used older car can be a nightmare good luck to you.

neonkiller Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Best thing to do is keep your eye out for a roller everything but Engine and trans. Drop in power and gears and your ready to roll. You not gonna find a 4cyl lx untouched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop in power and gears and your ready to roll. You not gonna find a 4cyl lx untouched. there is/was a clean one on Hilliard Rome Rd by W Broad. that looks straight and had no visible rust (that I could see driving by looking at it). I will see if its still there and will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJdidit1738 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 well if your looking for a good roller, look at the torque boxes, strut towers, the front floor pans rust alot of times, bottoms of doors, where the antenna is on the passenger fender, and they all rust around the reay key cylinder in the trunk, alot of mustangs ive seen to have front lower core support damage from running into a curb or something so i always check that as well I used to always check craigslist in southern states, they go for cheap and usually are clean plus most drives are only 8 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the aftermarket suspension(front coils, rear stranges adj.), a1000 fuel system, and K member, clean title very very little rust, and has original harness (not all cut up), and the 8.8 rear. It ain't gonna be no $850dolla tho.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
