"Four-eyed" 1983 Ford LTD Sleeper [Fairmont, Zyphyr, Fox chassis; some call it LTD II]

Similar in spirit to the SSP LTD LX, has dash and instrumentation from a 1991 Mustang
(like those used in 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 or 1993 Mustang GT or Mustang LX)
Drives well, shifts well, good power, sounds awesome. 
Stereo works, A/C works, heat doesn't, passenger-side rear window is stuck, power locks work intermittently,
rides surprsingly well, brakes work but are kind of weak, lots of personality, squeaks & rattles--the quirks you might expect in a 31-year-old car,
 one small rust bubble at the right corner base of rear window, speedo bounces all over (but I'll include a spare instrument cluster),
horseshoe-shaped crack on passenger-side of windshield. 

Paint is BMW Estoril blue base coat / clear coat and has been color sanded and buffed and looks good,
but it was done in a production shop with minimal prepwork, so expect flaws--it's not a show-car.

I'll include some spares--
extra window motor, gauge cluster, cold-air intake, and more.
