I saw it last night when I left Casanova's... looked like a 94-95 Cobra with Cobra R's..
It had badges on the sides.. didn't get a look at the front or the spoiler. They probably want an arm and a leg for it.. and I don't want a vert.

The guy who wants my car in Tampa is now not sure if he can make it over to get my car Thursday. He said his ride isn't sure if he can bring him over here or not. If he doesn't come to get it, I don't know what to do.

Is there anyone who needs a daily, or just a beater to get around in? Does anyone know someone who needs something to just get them from point A to point B while their car is in the shop or something?? I'm desperate guys. $500 takes it.

Do you got any info about your car. How many miles and stuff. I can ask around at work if anybody wants it.

It has 84,xxx miles. I have the original factory wheels here at home. Has a 2 year old Sony Xplode cd player. All the tires on the car now and on the factory wheels have good tread. New battery, new alternator and belt. It runs fine, but the tranny slips a little going into 2nd. Has mild damage to the front driver's side bumper and fender preventing the headlight to retract.
Driver's side window has fallen off the track and down into the door. I don't have the time or the money to fix a $500 car. I need to get rid of it ASAP. The issues it has can be fixed, but I'm not the one who is going to do that. Would be fine as a daily/beater car. I get around in it fine, but I want my Mustang.

Tim,
You can get the same plug that is used in the front of your cylinder heads. The Ford part # is F4ZZ-6E086-A and lists for $2.57 each. They can be tough to install if you have a lot of carbon buildup. I would say you could clean the threads out using a tap and some carb cleaner, but I don't recall the thread pitch and diameter.

That's all I did. I just cut the distribution blocks off of the crossover tube, flipped them over, and bolted them back to the heads. Quick, easy, and free.

When I swap to aluminum heads though, I'll probably spring for the threaded plugs from ford (if the heads even have provisions for them).

Actually, the new Z304's have gotten my attention as of late. I'm thinking I may give them a try.

Hey Eric, not to be a nag or anything, but any word on the "you know what" ?

They're not dedicated, just lazy...

Well guys, I'm contemplating a move in a new direction. I'm thinking of buying a boat and if so, I'll sell the Mustang to buy a tow vehicle. I'm thinking about an F-250 Super Duty to sport to work and back when it's not hauling the boat.

Still up in the air at this point as we're looking for a new house right now, but if that goes through, I may be stangless by the end of summer.

just do what I did

Buy a 00 GT
then buy 2 jet skiis
buy an 02 F150 FX4 Supercrew to tow them
Have a house built in suntree
then get laid off and take job in orlando (making half the money), so you have to spend all of you jetskii gas money and stang mod money driving to and from!

Now you all know why I am moving out of Florida!

 

[lxsteed]

Why are you moving out of Florida? Cause you can't afford it? I think you'll find that Florida is a considerably cheaper place to live. Might want to get rid of a few of your toys...

Quick...someone slap some sense into baglock!

How can you talk about getting rid of the Mustang after you just bought all those nice MM parts for it? We still need a Mustang contingent at the Autocrosses, you can't quit now.

I had a boat once. I well remember why it is called a hole in the water you pour money into.
