First time I haven’t sold mine after two years in a while. Retirement is getting close and watching my $$
22 XRS 850 with smart shocks. Revalved, corrected torsions, some pivot weight and a secondary spring swap.
Well I used my X plan to add a new Xploder to the fleet.
The dealer was very helpful and even dug up a private offer I forgot about.
Do dealers hate all the various alphabet plans?
Appreciate all the answers over the l years in this thread.
I may have done a poor job asking……
I assume paying 3800 under MSRP for a lowly XLT won’t happen and the discount of 2K isn’t getting layered on X plan price.
Revisiting this thread as it’s car buying time again……
If I have an X plan price that the Ford website generates for a dealer vehicle that is within a few bucks of what they are showing online for that vehicle for the general public is there room for them to show me any savings?
Example 2023...
Overdrive is awesome. Much more fun to make a long day or road-trip.
Shift quality is outstanding, it’s a low revving Pontiac so not that much of a test……..
Makes he numbers matching nerds twitch as an added bonus
Would reccomend
Bob,
Thanks for the kind words. I put 1200 miles on it this summer. It’s been good therapy.
The suspension mods and modern tires made it much more fun to drive too.

…….you realize just just how important a nice piece of ass really is.
Words and a perspective to remember and live by, wishing you good health and thanks again for all the great tech content you’ve provided over the years.
Bob, Not heading to the Valley as a participant, looks like I may watch a few friends in the FAST Event that runs along with Musclepooloza. That’s another rabbit hole of 14” bias ply classics running in the 10’s
OP
If your on social media join a brand group, ex-68-69 GTO has a page of its own...
If your looking at GTO’s or any Pontiac pay the $85 and get the history and billing info from Pontiac Historical Services.
Pontiac’s are extremely well documented and the info could save a lot of heartburn
22K could be a great deal if that car was an original 2 barrel column shifted GTO...
You could spend weeks learning about 1969 442’s and their quirks.
If you jump on Hagertys site and do quick valuation you’ll see they selling it at a number 4 value, a driver.

Left the Mustang fold last summer, back to my roots.
I think I shared one pic previously.
She has some “day two” mods from 69/70.
Can’t believe we used to drive cross country in these things…..
Those buttons seem to have been rated for an extreme duty cycle.
This lady looks like she’s always smiling and always happy.
Nice you have a SIL like that!
Lacquer thinner and scotch brite pads worked for me on my vintage BFG’s RWL

Note-Always used Glock brand springs after trying all the...
