About this Vehicle for Sale:

This is the third time, that's tight, third time I've owned this exact same car. It started off as the second car I've ever owned. I bought it late my senior year of high school(April 2001). When I first got it, it had 85,000 original miles and had all the basic bolt-ons. I actually taught myself how to drive it the night of senior prom because I was too impatient to wait for lessons and I wanted to arrive in style, lol,(I had never driven stick before that). Soon after, in October 2001, I traded the car for a 88 Firebird Formula, 305 TBI, automatic...eeeeww! I regretted it every day. I used to drive by the guy's house who I traded it to just to see how it was. When I finally decided I missed driving a Mustang and wanted another one, the guy I traded the car to said he was selling it for $2300 with a blown motor. I then bought the car for the second time. Because I planned on modifying the hell out of it, I dumped $4000 into rebuilding the motor with forged internals(JE pistons, Eagle rods, Scat crank). After over a month of waiting and a bunch of bullsh*t problems, I got it back...only to find that they didn't rebuild the heads...ASSHOLES!! At higher RPMs it would float the valves and lose power like it was out of breath. I couldn't afford to fix it, and the synchros in the tranny were feeling sketchy, so i sold it...again. I kept in touch with my friend who I sold it to and in August of 04, he told me he was selling it. He spent well over $12k fixing/modifying everything in the car, but wanted to keep his motor. He told me if I found him a modded 87-93 Mustang coupe, he'd trade and we could swap motors. So, I found a 10 second Vortech blown Notch, traded him and took the 10 second motor and fuel system for this car. Now my car's home to stay and badder than ever!
