Hey everyone, so after looking around for some fox bodies and 64-69’s I found a 96’ Mystic with 54k original confirmed miles on it. The kicker was that it had just about every mod you could do to it, with no documentation. The mod list is as follows:
-Vortech V2 Intercooled kit w/ battery relocation, set to 12psi (Confirmed)
-Forged Internals (Unconfirmed)
-Blower Cams (Definitely Cammed but don’t know which cam)
-Tubular K-Member (Confirmed)
-Tubular A-Arms (Confirmed)
-TKO600 5-Speed (Unconfirmed)
-4.10 Gears (Confirmed)
-L/T Headers (Confirmed)
-Flowmaster Exhaust (Confirmed)
-Lots of suspension mods, haven’t figured out which.
I know I know, why the F would I buy a car with mods I couldn’t confirm? Well, because when you can get a 96’ Mystic with 54k original miles for $10.5k you do it and worry about the rest later. The car is also extremely clean. My plans for it include taking it to a shop for tuning to make sure it isn’t rich or lean and turn the boost to maybe 9lbs, have a shop verify the forged internals, turn boost back up to 12lbs, and swap to 3.55 gears.
So what do you think? Great opportunity seized or idiot way in over his head?
