$760 + $275 shipping. Arrived this morning.

Run's beautifully, Not a single leak (but there is seepage), not a spot of ROT anywhere. Only Two spots of rust. Chassis is effing clean. 199k miles. Suspension is nice & tight.

Only things wrong with it:

Low oil pressure,

Dent on quarter panel,

Needs fender straightened,

Need a hood (could straighten it though).

I have clear front lenses for it from the last one.

Good tires. Brakes well. Burns out alright. I thought the timing was off, buuuut No. The cap was wired 1-1, 2-3, 3-2, 4-4. :duh: and adjusted the IAC and she purrs.

Only things on the to do list (for the moment): Oil pump, Plugs, fuel filter, adjust drums, battery, install the Big alt., install the wipers, valve cover & front main gaskets.

Other things to come... later. Rebuild with the forged low compression TCoupe internals

Oh, best part: one pic shows a pile of papers... those are receipts for parts & work going as far back as 1992.

[Nikuk 1]

You judge EVERYTHING on looks lately... :sheesh:

Driving

2.3

If i said it was nice i would be lying.

Needs a good cleaning like Ryans.

Then it should be nice

[Supa_c 1]

A kid in my autoshop class had one.

Same engine, he chopped the cats off for some reason.

It doesnt sound all that bad with straight pipe

[Nikuk 1]

Yah, it's needs a good cleaning... I got it 4 hours ago

Good buy! I have a perfect set of doors, a hood, and all GT ground effects lying around if you're ever interested. Got a nice RED console too, even has the functioning aremrest and ashtray door!

That Hurst is killing me though.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

LoL... it came with the Hurst.. I'll throw a Pro 5.0 in later on. After I rebuild the motor. Looks like it'll be winter time.

The doors are good (one small rust line and manual windows)... but I'll touch base with You later on about the hood. Gracias

Oh, Denim- i'm entertaing the idea of a half-wall up to the window line. But I'm seriously leaning towards nothing more then 2 8"s.

there's always something laying aronud

No, the trailblazer is stripped and demoted to regualr driver. I've got about 3 months to figure out what I'm doing for dBDrag... If i wait too long, I'll just have to do some serious road tripping for 2x & 3x shows.

I'm definately NOT doing a trunk install in this car... which means I'm left with streetmax, that's why I'm unsure as yet. Let You know in a few weeks.

That's the last thing you want in that behemoth. Hell it takes the 2.3 something like 19-20 seconds to do the quarter in the Mustang. Throw that in the heavier Lincoln, and well, you might as well walk.
