(5/1/09) Price Drop - $26,500

I'm ready to get this sold. I was asking $31k or best offer but I'm going to drop it now to your choice of $28,500 with the Forgeline wheels/tires or $26,500 if you provide your own wheels and tires.
Now has about 9600 miles. It's basically a super fast, tight showcar that I drive maybe 2-3 times a month.

This isn't a Cobra drivetrain swap - people usually ask me that first. It's a built from the ground up aluminum teksid motor. The Cobra accessory parts (intake, IC, timing cover, brackets...) were purchased either brand new or gently used then al of the parts that could be powder coated, were coated.
MM suspension, solid axle and aluminum block makes this like a lightweight version of an 03-04 cobra.
Basically, it has everything that a Cobra would aspire to having - all supporting mods EXCEPT the only thing I haven't done is change the rear axles - and I would suggest it for sticky tires. I opted for some of the best parts available (For example, I went with a complete Maximum Motorsports tubular front end instead of the less expensive UPR/D&D stuff).

The car is really, really nice. No internal gauges - just the Livewire, which does it all. Interior is stock when you put the Livewire away :)

Looking for a nice 91-93 coupe as well - so I'll consider trades +cash.

Thanks guys. If I didn't have another project in the works, I wouldn't ever sell it.


590 at 16ishlbs and 18 degrees - there's plenty left in the tune for sure. I think it's reasonable to say that an aggressive tune would put it in the 620ish range.

Man I love everything about this car. It's gotta be a perfect mustang build, can't believe it hasn't sold yet.

If I somehow come upon some money this christmas, I'll give you a call immediately.

Ive seen the car in person and met the owner about a month ago at a club gathering and the car is absolutely beautiful. He seems like a stand up guy who really knows his stuff.I think its a heck of a deal for the $. Just my 2cents.

Thanks guys. It was fun to build and a blast to drive. I would never sell it but I was able to buy back my 68 coupe that I had in HS. It was my first car and my mothers car for years before that. I sold it back before I knew what sentimental value was. Unfortunately, the 68 sat in a back yard and rusted for a number of years, so it needs a LOT of time and money thrown at it.

Thanks man. I'd never sell it for any other car than the project I picked up. My 68 mustang from highschool. I sold it 15 years ago and was able to re-buy it. Funny thing is that noone ever registered it, so technically, it's been mine this whole time, lol.
