Description

1979 Ford Mustang — a first-year example of the Fox Body generation, offering a solid foundation for restoration and customization. Showing just 81,000 original miles, this Mustang has great potential for someone looking to bring a classic Ford pony car back to life. It’s equipped with a V8 engine and an automatic transmission, and it starts, runs, and drives, though it’s being sold as a project car that will require a full restoration.

The drivetrain provides a solid starting point, and the fundamentals are in place for either a stock restoration or a performance build. The car comes with a clean title, making registration and ownership straightforward. Overall, this 1979 Mustang is an affordable entry into the world of classic Mustangs — a true project with promise, ready for a new owner to restore, modify, or preserve as one of the early models that kicked off the Fox Body legacy.
