eric how long can you wait for money, and would you pick me up from the airport? For $900 even with me flying there picking it up and driving it back would cost less then just a mustang engine out here. Send me a PM. If it can wait for 2 to 3 weeks I will get it for sure.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Well, he's waited over a year already, so I think 2-3 weeks might be doable, but I don't know his current situation.

PS - That car is fun as hell, I drove it the weekend of CatJam and even Zach's low-mileage 97 couldn't keep up with it.

that is awsome. Depending I might just s it for the engine, but with how good it sounds I doubt it. I would kill for this car for $900. Half the mustang eingines that I have been looking for (with 100,XXX miles) Have costed more then a plane ticket down there and the $900 and the gas to drive it back.

Yeah I might just do that. If I can get a good idea of what the condition of the car is, (I am sure it is fine, after all it is erics car)Its just that a mustang engine would cost alot (around $2000). That alone would sway me twoards it. Then it is also a tbird in better condition then any of my cars(minus rust) and fairly good part change conditions. plus if I go, then I have to go to cat jam next year.

This is true. We honed on it and he just kept pulling and pulling.
Personally, I love the car. If I had the money and space I'd be all over it.
By the way, it's a '96, Brian.  :mad:

The car has balls big time...I'm not a betting man but if it were taken to the track, as-is it would probably do high 15's. Even better with gears. ;)

Oh, big time bump...

Still got it, still need to get rid of it. Come on, folks...HO motor, custom 2.5" exhaust with a custom X-pipe (don't even need to remove it to drop the trans!), great brakes, fully loaded...yeah it's rusty, so what! Makes a good daily driver.

Dropped to $900. Worth way more than that in parts alone. Please rescue this 'Birdie from my driveway. :)

I wish I would have known this before last Friday, I just bought a $900 car to drive around so I can stop feeding my truck gas.
