Title: Need to sell my sport! NO LONGER FOR SALE!!!!
Post by: Live Fast on July 20, 2009, 01:01:42 PM
I need to sell the sport to finish my mustang. Just recently bought another vehicle and cant keep them all on the insurance.

Today I uncovered the mustang for the 1st time since my accident and noticed its starting to rust in a few places. I NEED to get it back on the road. This car was a christmas gift from my girlfriend so I know she would like to see it running again.

PM me if you have any questions about the car.
Has 188k miles but was driven from SC to GA alot by a previous owner. So its mostly highway miles. Still runs  good!
Has a tiny oil leak. Maybe the size of a dime every 2 weeks. Im pretty sure its coming from the timing cover. Needs a headliner and a/c charged. Really need to get it gone. Want to sell it to someone who wont chop it up or use it for parts.

My buddys have all said why not just take the motor/trans out and put in the mustang? I cant bring myself to do that though. Car is too nice for that.

I have clean title and a carfax report!

Wheels are turning here... Ill be test driving the Mustang next week to see if I feel it is safe for the ride as a security measure. Thinking somewhere in KY would be good to meet.

***EDIT

Morehead, KY. Its a minute longer for me, and about 15 for Herb on travel time but looks like our best center point.

I am FULL out willing to make the drive. There is nothing in this for me but 3 people will now have cars they want and rid of the ones they dont so its worth it. I know Herb is all in, are you totally in for it?

Post by: Live Fast on July 23, 2009, 07:20:11 PM
Man you guys just took off with this idea! lol

I would be willing to take a trip to KY. I will need a week or so though. I dont want to drive the car that far just for fear of something happening to it. I would probably put it on a tow dolly. We are slammed here at my dads shop and we have a few big money races coming up that we NEED to attend. Im up for it but I will need atleast 2 weeks before I can make the trip.

Wtf is there to do in KY? I guess we will make a vacation out of it! lol

On another note can I get some more pictures of the mustang?
Oh and maybe the SHO, I might want it! haha jk jk I dont want the SHO

Jeez guys this sounds perfect for all of you! DVP, remember when you wanted your SHO so bad and now you'll have the chance to get another? LUCKY MAN!

Cougarman, I think his Sport would be a fitting replacement for the SHO!

Live, do it man!

Post by: Live Fast on July 24, 2009, 06:38:02 PM
I would like to see the car go to someone on here. I hate to see it go but I have alot going on right now and no time to give the car the attention it deserves.

Probably end up using the mustang for parts anyway! lol

I got my eye on a cheaper sport that needs a little work. ($300)

That may work for me. Just waiting for my tow vehicle. I would drive it but you never know what could happen either on the way there or on the way back. Better safe than sorry 1000 miles from home! lol

Still waiting for more pics and stuff of the mustang.
I want to see how bad the rust is under the car. If its bad I will use it for parts on my ttop car. If its decent I will paint it and drive it.

Why has it been bad luck? I see you live in NC. Where at? Near Charlotte here. I'm tempted to see if I can cough up the $1300 because I like the 87-88 bodystyle too.

Would you trust the car to make a drive to Asheville, NC? Also would you be willing to meet me in Gboro to take a look?
Title: Need to sell my sport! NO LONGER FOR SALE!!!!
Post by: Live Fast on August 10, 2009, 10:17:10 AM
I'd trust the car! It has never let me down. The car doesnt have tags on it now so I dont think I could drive it to greensboro. Im only 40mins from greensboro. If your gonna drive from asheville what would another 30-40mins be?? lol

Man, I can't believe this thing hasn't sold yet. You NEVER see them around here that clean. I love that color too, very classy. I hope you sell it soon as I would truly hate to see it get parted out. Maybe Dan (The Trophy King) could buy it for Paula (The Boss) and they could cruise to shows together. Just offering up options....
Title: Need to sell my sport! NO LONGER FOR SALE!!!!
Post by: Live Fast on August 14, 2009, 04:29:35 PM
Thanks, I really hope someone from this site buys it.
I dont know why it isnt gone yet either. Its sitting in my front yard with a for sale sign on it with $1200 written on it. Its on craigslist, racingjunk, carolina rides, and here. Still nothing. I have seen cars like this in far worse shape with the quarters and rockers and shock towers rusted out. This car has NO RUST!

If its still here at the end of the month I guess I will have to pull the motor and trans to go in my mustang. I really really dont want to do that but the Mustang was a gift from my Girlfriend and it can not sit any longer! Come on guys...I will trade it for a motor and transmission in good condition. Must be V8.

If you were closer, I would consider.

Just to tease myself, what is your zip code? I'm in the market for a sport, but the biggest turn off with yours is the tan interior. I could convert to gray, but that's more work than I'd want to do.

You are making this a lot easier now! I really want it... lemme see what I can come up with!

I have seriously been considering selling my new Mustang since I owe what it is worth, so I can prepare to buy a house in the sometime near future.

I don't mind switching to an older Tbird as a daily driver. Ever since I got on this forum seeing so many nice Tbirds and Cougars, they all excite me.
