Well, I bought the car off of this message board about a month ago. Less than that, actually. And I've fallen into a different project, which I could stand to put some more money into. I can do the project with what I have, but I could REALLY do it w/ $10,500 more. And this car's just going to sit in the garage for a long time anyways. I'm not entertaining any offers below $10,500, I'll just keep it and drive it once every 3 months or so. Here's the link to the previous sale:

The car is definitely as advertised. I have the Carfax report and more pics, upon request. If I can figure out how to post them, I'll add them to this post. The previous owner was great to work with and provided most of the receipts, which I'll turn over to the new owner. Below is the mod list:

• Professionally tuned at Race Related in FL, very safe tune made 485/481 at the tires.
• Balanced 331 w/ DSS pro Lite pistons (9.3:1)
o The D.S.S. PRO BULLET 331 engineered to offer the perfect balance between race winning power and long term reliability. This engine is a great way to get Windsor power and torque without the expense of a 351 swap or the maintenance problems commonly associated with other stroker combinations. By using a 5.315” rod we are able to use a taller piston for increased stability, better ring seal and longer life. This custom piston also keeps the pin bore below the oil ring for proper oil control. With it’s superior rod/ piston design, excellent 1.63 rod ratio and an ideal ring package for power adders, the D.S.S. BULLET 331 SHORT BLOCK is by far the best performing, longest lasting stroker short block on the market

Race Prepped Production Block * Power Adder Ring Package * NEW! D.S.S. PRO LITE Forged Stroker Pistons * Forged Steel 5.315” Rods with ARP bolts * 3.25” Stroke Cast Steel or Forged crank * D.S.S. Stroker Main Support System *
Excellent 1.63 Rod Ratio

Each D.S.S. PRO BULLET 331 Short Block begins with a with a race prepped block that has been deck squared and equalized, precision bored and honed with torque plates and fitted with the D.S.S. Stroker Main Support System and custom ARP main studs. This combination includes New PRO LITE forged stroker pistons available for most aftermarket heads, premium Sealed Power/ Speed-Pro moly rings and TRW/ Federal Mogul bearings. We use Forged Steel 5.315” connecting rod with ARP bolts and a super strong, Cast Steel 3.25” stroke crank for the ultimate in strength and longevity. We offer optional compression ratios and cam and timing chain options, just tell us what you want and we’ll quote a combination for you. If you are looking for a stroker that makes 30 to 40 horsepower more than most larger stroker combinations and is equally at home on the street or strip, you need the bullet 331 short block.
• DSS Pro Lite 5.315 I beam rods (ARP rod bolts)
• DSS Level 10 block
• DSS main girdle
• DSS windage tray
• AFR 165 heads
o For the ultimate small block Ford street car, you’ve got to use AFR’s all new 165cc emissions legal cylinder heads. Unlike some aftermarket heads, AFR’s Ford head (CARB EO #250-3) fits all your stock components; no special parts are required! With 1.900 intake valves, 1.600” exhaust valve, and combustion chamber volumes of 58cc or 61cc, and 69cc exhaust ports, AFR’s new 165cc Ford head is perfect for 289 and 302 engines operating from idle to 6000 rpm. A 3/4” thick head deck makes the AFR head ideal for nitrous or blower applications. Will not accept rail rocker arms. Hardened push rods required with part numbers 1400 and 1402. Note: 1986 5.0L must have piston notched for clearance.

Would you mine passing on the line? I'm looking for a notch to swap my 408 out of my fox hatch.

Sorry, haven't been to the track. Don't believe the previous owner did either. If I don't find a buyer soon, I'll probably take it out and see.
