My wife recently had some extensive surgery. I decided to sell my Procharged '11 GT and pay off the remaining hospital and doctor's bills after insurance had paid their part.

I took the left over money and bought me a '93 GT Mustang and a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 EC 2WD truck to use to pull the car when I want to take it to the track.

The '93 GT has 52K original miles on it and has all original paint except for the 4" Harwood cowl hood. It is one of only 576 Performance Red GT hatchbacks built in '93. It is an original sunroof car and has the black cloth interior.

The car has a 500 mile 347 stroker motor built by MME Racing in MD. It has a 4 bolt Dart block, Trick Flow heads, custom blower cam, Reichard Racing billet upper intake, Kooks 1 7/8" LT's with a 3" O/R X-pipe and Flowmasters with turndowns and a Paxton Novi 2000 blower. The car made 528 RWHP & 470 RWTQ (SAE) shutting it down at 5,900 RPM's due to maxxing out the fuel system. The HP graph was still climbing and the car was making 11.8 pounds of boost when it was shut off.

The car has a brand new Tremec TKO 600 trans and a built 8.8 with 4.10 gears. It has extensive chassis and suspension work. It has a 5 lug conversion with Weld Pro Stars (15x3.5 and 15x8 with 5.5 BS) and 26x11.5x15 MT ET Streets on the rear.

I'm still waiting on all of the motor specs from MME and then I plan on upgrading the fuel system and install the smaller blower pulley that came with the car and see what kind of fun I can have with it! :banana:

The 2000 Dodge Ram is a one owner with 90K original miles with all original paint and even came with the original window sticker.

It has a 5.2 liter Magnum V8 with a rare 5 speed manual trans and has a 3.55 posi rear end. It is in excellent condition for the year and should make for a nice truck to work around the house and to take my car to the track with.

Thanks!! :beer:

I was hoping someone in MACA might know the car. I bought the car in northern VA last Saturday. It had been in the same family since 1995. The owner of Curtin Dynotech (George Curtin) in northern VA owned the car from 1995 until the mid 2000's and he sold it to his cousin who then sold it to George's father-in-law in 2008. I bought it from him.

George used to run the car when it had the original motor with a H/C/I combo at MIR quite often. He said that the car was on the front of two different MIR event flyers with the front wheels off the ground. He is supposed to send those flyers to me. He also said that he blew the original motor at MIR during one of the Ford Fever events.

Foxes have some great nostalgia now, they may not be fast as the new stuff stock but who keeps a Fox stock anyways. Looks bad ass, and a great street strip cruiser. Did they say what was the cars best time so far with that combo.
