9 years have passed since i fell in love with this awesome cars, 7 years since i joined this forum and i can finally say... I HAVE A TERMINATOR!! its been a long way...
After being stuck with fox bodys, i started saving money and selling some pushrod parts here and there, i got a 00 Silverado for cheap, after making the 06 front end swap and painting it, i traded (plus cash) for a C5 Corvette, sold the vette and found a 2001 Saleen at a great price, 2 weeks later (and haven't even had the time to drive the S-281) i threw an offer to a friend he couldn't refuse! soo after Foxes, a Silverado a C5 Vette and a S-281 Saleen+cash: i FINALLY have my dream car!!

the car has some mods, it already has a stroker shortblock (5.0) and a steggy port V work done with supporting mods, thats all i know right now, tomorrow i'm picking it up and i can't describe the feeling.. i'm almost crying! LOL

here are some pics it needs lots of TLC and some "de-riceing"

time to change my avatar and info :-D

Congrats! I recently bought my first terminator after wanting one so bad since they came out.

How the heck is the interior and motor so dirty? Hopefully you can save it! Look forward to seeing it all cleaned up.

 

[getTwisted]

Congrats! Glad somebody that respects the car is getting it. It needs some love. Post pics of your progress with it.

Yup its definitely my dream car, the Saleen was nice and all with some mods also (cams, Vic Jr intake, exhaust and a P1SC) but i got it dirt cheap and the cost of the Terminator with the added cash will be around 11-12k so i'm good, I just got off the phone with my budy here are some other mods he can remember it already has a SRA, centerfoce clutch, bbk longtubes and magnaflow exhaust, UPR kmember and Upr adjustables upper and lower control arms, its really dirty 'cause it has been sitting at that shop for almost 3 years!! so it needs a really good cleanout

tailights are the FIRST to go lol here is the Saleen

 

[VenomousDSG]

Congrats, but that thing looks trashed.... No offense.

 

[Stang Lover]

Congrats. Why was it sitting for 3 years?

I've been wanting a terminator for a long time ever since the blades videos.

 

[MinGrey02Stg2]

Is it a flood car? Does it run?

 

[silverstang84]

I'm happy for ya man.... But these pictures only leave me with many questions... The car seems to have been neglected pretty bad, it looks like there's a lot of moisture inside judging from the seats and who puts a eaton on a built motor? Calm down, think rationally and give the car a thorough inspection before purchase if you haven't already. There's something shady about these pictures.. Good luck man!

 

[luiSVT99]

no flood just been sitting for a while, its starts and the shop owner says it made 378rwhp and 470fpt needs desperatly a bigger blower, my friend had some financial problems thats why it sits there, part of the cash i gave him went directly to the shop owner, so i feel good to help a friend and making my dream come true

 

[2KBlackGT]

Thats a rough looking car, GL OP and congrats

RED FLAG!! Those are stock numbers...

 

[BlownAway03]

I hope you can save it. Seeing that reminds me of one of those abandoned animal commercials.

 

[Double0fox]

Look forward to the "cleaned" pics. Congrats. It feels good to get your dream car.

Something is TERRIBLY wrong with this car if what you say is true. Those numbers are WAAAY too low for that setup. Good luck with it!
