Still saving for this beast, about half-way there hopefully I'll have the $9k by mid summer... If it's still for sale that is, haha.

Bump for an AMAZING car.

I can't believe more ppl have not come to atleast see it in person. Only one person has even come to look at it. He was disappointed with a little dirt in the paint that can only be seen under the shop lights. I never even knew it was there until Jordan pointed it out to me.

Twin 57mm turbos, built motor, etc etc etc....

I'd have been down there a month ago to buy, but I went through a job change. As soon as I start getting regular paychecks again, and pay off some stuff, I'll be there. It looks like an awesome car.

I guess I was the only one who came to look at the car. It wasnt dirt in the paint. It was drips in the paint, from the poor paint job. Needs a whole new paint job. But I feel it is worth the money regardless. Just not my cup of tea.

Hi Joe,

To say the car needs a whole new paint job could not be farther from the truth. It has some dirt on the hood and roof, and I think I saw one run (but can't even remember where).

Like I stated before (to everyone else interested in seeing it), please don't expect a custom 8k paint job on a 9k car. The pics I posted aren't hiding anything. THe camera can't even pick up any imperfections.

This is a car for someone that doesn't want to win awards at car shows, but for someone that wants to blow the tires off in a third gear roll, and look good doing it.

I do appreciate you posting and I wish you would've been more pleased with the paint so that things would have worked out. Good luck in your search for another car if you haven't already found one.


-John

I wish I had seen this car before I bought my Cobra. I was searching for a car in November and somehow missed this thread. I would have loved to have this car. Now if someone would just buy mine so I can get this one.

Free bump anyways!

I've never read such a blasphemous thread in my life. This car could be covered in primer sitting on BLOCKS and I'd still buy it if I had the money. If anyone has the cash please give this car a home. This is ridiculous.

why? just becuase it has some turbos? There looks to be a lot of rust on the frame in some of the pics and the interior isnt in great shape and the paint isnt too good. now your left with 9k turbos. I think the car is worth maybe 4k. cause of its age, condition and miles. Thats why the car is still not sold. you need to rethink the price and come down. You cant just slap a 300 dollar maaco ambassado paint on something and sell for top dollar

Dynoed by Mustang Magic to 420rwhp and 452ft.-lbs.torque at a conservative 7psi with much more available, Way more invested than the asking price.
That's why he's asking this much. The motor is turbo'd with h/c/i to match, exhaust is done, fuel system is done, ignition is done, suspension is mostly done, drivetrain could use some work to hold more power but for now is sufficient, and the paint isn't in bad shape, but like he said it's not a 9k custom paint job.

Go add up the retail for the motor alone and it will come to 9k. I know retail doesn't make resale value, but this car is a good deal.

car is worth it, but hard to find people with an extra 6000 dollars cash. there are very few banks that would loan the complete asking price on this car. other means of coming up with the cash can be found. tough selling this cars right now. i tried for a year to sell my 92 GT. everything was new, 351, tremec TKO, paint, you name it. ended up selling the transmission/motor seperate from the shell.
