im going to be looking at a 76 Mustang with a rebuilt 302 in it.. does anyone have any suggestions on where i should look under the car for rust and other signs not to buy it?

Hi,
I don't happen to own one but I've had some dealings with them here and there over the years.That said I would look in every crack and crevice for rot,mostly underbody. After that I'd look for completeness of things such as trim.Sadly they don't have much in the way of aftermarket support for these cars partswise,nor does it appear that they ever will due to low demand. So If it has missing parts you'd be stuck scouring high and low for stuff.Please post additional info or photos if you have any. Good luck.

thanks for the info.. im used to scouring around for parts i also own a 75 cosworth vega of witch only 3500 or so were made.. parts for that thing are so hard to come by that used parts go for a retarded amount of money. lol at least with this 76 mustang they made 75 thousand or so, and its not a huge deal because i plan on doing allot of modifications to it when the time comes but for now i just need a car to bounce around in.

IIRC check under the drivers seat I think the floors were prone to crack where the seats bolted up.
