Hi Guys-
I picked this up recently and although it's really fast and a ton of fun, I need something a little more practical for my commute. I'm in Arlington, VA and can arrange to show it if you need. I will answer all questions as honestly as I can. Details and pictures below. Thank you.
**Trades will preferably be stock (or near stock), manual, and four doors, but anything else that is interesting will be considered. This car is on CL for a lot more than I'm asking here, but I'd prefer to sell quickly so price is $2012
ENGINE Ford 306 cubic inch High Output 5.0 block w/ TRW forged pistons (~75k miles) Explorer heads e303 cam Cartech Intake Manifold w/ Explorer TB NEW coil/cap/wires Previous owner had it dynoed at ~370whp and 450+wtq Front mount intercooler
TRANSMISSION AODE trans w/ Lentech shift kit (~70k miles)
TURBO SETUP Custom turbo kit w/ OBX wastegate and blow off valve T4 flange Borg Warner 57trim turbo 3" exhaust side to 3" piping
FUEL 50lbs injectors Walbro 255 in tank along w/ a Bosch 404 inline pump
ENGINE MANAGMENT Megasquirt Version 1
EXHAUST Glasspack muffler, side exhaust to passenger side rear door No cat, in VA there are no emissions tests for cars older than 25 years so this passed inspection easily
INTERIOR/EXTERIOR Grey original paint is in decent shape, a few small rust bubbles starting to come up but can be taken care of. Hood, roof, and trunk are painted black. Interior could use work. Was originally tan leather. The two front seats need to be replaced, or at least have seat covers. The rear seats are in decent shape with a few small tears. Headliner needs to be replaced. A-pillar Gauge pod with functioning VDO gauges (boost, oil pressure, tach, trans temp) Working CDplayer
SUSPENSION/WHEELS Stock suspension 15" Steel Wheels
The Good: -This thing pulls like a b*stard once it hits boost. It is fairly mild mannered when driving around at normal speeds, but will really take off if you give it the beans. -For a 28 yr old car, the body is in good shape. There are 2 small rust spots (pictured below), but no major dents or dings otherwise. -For the insane car it is, it is very reliable. I daily it now, and have made the 100 mile trip from DC to Richmond in heavy traffic on a 85 degree day with no issues/overheating. -The insurance on this is dirt cheap, I think it added like $5 to my current plan per month. - No emissions testing required as it is more than 25 years old
Needs: - Suspension is the one thing that would really benefit this car. I was planning on upgrading it before plans changed, a whole new suspension can be had for about $500 from http://www.ipdusa.com/ - The front tires need to be replaced. I will buy some new ones in the next week or 2 unless it is sold by then. The rear tires are in very good shape. - The interior is rough. Unless this is going to be a track car, it should be replaced or recovered. - There is a small exhaust leak. I will try and locate that and seal if if I get the time this weekend.
