My three '79 Mustangs - from France

Hello,
So here are my cars. I was looking for a cheap and easy project last June. At first I wanted a Fiero but these aren't very reliable. Then I looked at random american cars around here and found this ad for three early Fox Mustangs. I've always loved them, not the prettiest but I love their sharp lines. So I immediatly went to look at them and was very pleased. They had been stored indoors since the early 90's, so some work was needed but it was a gamble I was ready to take. And I'm glad I did ! I took delivery two weeks after finalizing the payment. :
The white Ghia hatchback is the best of the bunch, it's has a 2.8L V6 and an auto transmission, and besides some body damage, is very very nice and the interior is pretty much mint :
The copper notchback has a 2.3L L4 with a four speed, it features the original sunroof but it does have quite a bit of rust :
The red notchback had a very nice red interior, but has an aftermarket sunroof. It's also equipped with the base 2.3L L4 and the four speed manual :
The plan is to get them all back on the road, and good looking again. Interiors will be stripped and cleaned, I will paint them and make sure everything works.
