I'd first like to say that I have not switched from an import to a domestic guy, but that I want to try everying out.

Red 1993 Mustang LX 5.0L Hatchback

114,000km.
Parked last 7 winters.
Meticulously maintained, very clean, never raced.

Powerdyne 6lb Supercharger/190 lph Fuel pump
JBA Shorty Headers
MAC H-Pipe
Ford Motorsport 3.55 Gears
Maier Strut Tower Brace
Global West Subframe Connectors
Ford Motorsport Aluminum Driveshaft
Ford Motorsport Cobra HD Clutch
Braided Stainless Steel Brake lines/Speedbleeders
Coolant Temp, Boost, Oil and Fuel Pressure Gauges
Dash Gauge Cage and Moulded A-Pillar
All Synthetics (Engine, Tranny, Diff, Brakes)
Pioneer 6 CD Changer
Alarm
Brand new Kumho Supra Tires
Complete set of factory service manuals

---------------------------------------------------

This car is mint, and the owner(35yr old engineer) seems to have never abused it. 0 vibration while driving.

It has headers and a supercharger but stock exhaust with no cats!!?

oh, A/C, power everything, and 5 star ponys.

Planned mods:
-Short shift kit
-underdrive pullies
-catback exhaust (bit gain i bet).

Mwahahaha, good by fuel economy.

Pics to follow, and the Teg will be up for sale shortly.

Any estimates on 1/4mi times?:D

I know, I couldn't find a coupe that was in really good condition and met my other requirements.

This was also priced very well.

Thanks ppl.
The Auto trader is coming out with it tommorow and I'm sure it would have been sold in a day. I just say the ad on some little message forum yesterday.

The big question is can I still come to 403honda meets?
(like I've been a frequent participant recently).

sounds awesome

i'd love to drive a 5.0

how much does a car like that go for?

also if you don't mind saying, how much extra are u paying for insurance for this second vehicle, and what kind policy? (just you insured for both cars...or family too)

Congratulations! Though you might have ended up with that one :) Have fun with the new toy. That car should be running mid 13's I'd think. Mine's lighter though :D

Lighter, bah. What's weight matter? j/k

I'm going to Toma's sometime to get it tuned for sure. I bet there's more hp to be found yet.

Believe it or not, this car was $12,000, which seems pretty good to me.

Insurance. I'm calling my insurance company today to see what I can do. I just want coverage on the Teg when someone comes over to test drive it.

Teg Price: I was thinking of getting a new windshield and the rotors re-surfaced before selling it unless someone doesn't care about that.
I'll be asking $7000, maybe with the stereo.
includes the 4 winter tires + summers.

Somehow you must question the creditbility of 5.0L + supercharged and NEVER raced in the same sentence... haha!!! I guess they could argue that they wanted the SC to give more torque at the low end so it can be a smoother ride like the V12 Jags... haha!!! But hey, some people's word is as good as oak!
