I think I saw the 88 xr7 you're referring to.  $3k is on the high side.  If it's immaculate, original with no accidents and one previous owner, that's probably not too far off.  You could probably still get one like that for $2-2.5k if you're patient.  In the end $500 isn't that much to squabble over if you really want it.

Is it this one listed for $3675?  He's nuts, he won't get that for it.  And it looks like he listed it once before that for $3275.  Just tell him you have cash in hand when he's done goofing around.

Oldraven your dad is correct the sprint came with a 4bl carb/intake setup its rare I have everything but some linkage to change my car over to 4bl If I want to go down the road.

So Im not that upset about it I have alot of other stuff to monkey around with. Need less to say the wife wasnt abit up set when I didnt come home with another car LOL.

I will keep you guys updated on my 408 build here are a few pic's off the port work.

        Hey Straycats , Its the other guy that posted about the space between 1 and BADBIRD, It doesn't matter to me space or no space . Thanks for the compliments on my TBird . Your windsor sounds like it should be killer .
        4.11s are not to much for the street , I am running 4.11s in my TBird with no problems . I am also running 4.30s in my 73 Mercury Montego with a 351Windsor on the street with no problem . Here is a picture of my other two rides . The Montego I have had for 24 years and the 74 AMC Matador I am restoring for my wife . Her father bought it brand new and gave it to us because he knew I would restore it and take care of it .
