I always wanted one of the early HO MN12 cars. I have a set of Lincoln LS wheels and tires that would look dynamite on that thing, if you would be interested.

Congrats, I was watching that car but was unsure how to go about the issue of being out of the US, it was only 100 or so miles from me. I wasnt sure what customs would think coming over the bridge with flashing lights and all. Atleast its going to a good home

Oh God, KILL IT!!! KILL IT!!!
Sorry, I got a little crazy there. That thing looks exactly like my old '91, same colour and everything. Brings back bad memories.
The flashing headlights is likely a bad daytime running light module (early 90's Canadian Fords are notorious for it).
Dansbirds - you likely wouldn't have been able to import that car into the USA. It would not have met US passive restraints standards (Note that it does not have the electric mice motorized seatbelts of a US car). I know for certain that 89-93 MN12's were illegal to import into Canada from the USA for the same reason - your electric mice didn't meet our standards. They're older than 15 years old now, though, so they're now legal in Canada. We have a rolling 15 year exemption - once a car is 15 years old it's allowed. I don't think you guys have that exemption.

yes the '91-'93's you could get the HO in them... I already have a set of Razzi GFX, (from the '91 cougar I had) an '82 Stang hood scoop, will be installing a tc replica scoop in the fender, and a Saleen wing, and my SC rims.... for now.... will probably put cobra r's on it... plus I plan to put a set of 4.10's in it, install an M5R2, and do some other upgrades...
Those are the pics from ebay.. I will take better ones when I get it home this weekend....

nope, I traded the '94 bird to a buddy for his '97 F-150, (BIG mistake, truck is already being a nightmare) that I just sold to purchase this bird... LOL... and next week the 'XR-7 leaves with it's new owner, and the '86 cougar comes home, and the stang may possibly be gone this weekend too.:D :hick:
I think I would give sleeper a run for car swapping...:hick:

well, she is home, but my camera is in the cougar and the wife took it into work.. I took her explorer and the trailer to pick it up...
Man is this thing clean.... and he was right, it IS 4 wheel disc brakes WITH ABS.... sweet! first mod planned is ler deletes, in exchange for some nice chrome tips. Needs the engine bay to be cleaned out in the spring though as it is full of undercoating... no real rust spots anywheres to speak of.. one small section inside the passenger side door jam, thats it... this is going to be a fun project car...
Pics and a quick video ;) in a couple of hours...

I plan to build a 331 and drop into it with a form of forced induction...
The main goal is to get into the 12's this summer with it, and still keep it streetable and reliable...:birdsmily:
