radio bezel for consol-less cars, FREE 3.8L headers, and TC rear sway bar

The radio panel has a small crack in the lower left screw hole. Not very visible, absolutely useable for dd unless you're looking for 100% show quality.

Consolette tray has been sold.

Radio bezel to your door for $30.



See the next post for better pics

For anyone looking for a set of V6 headers I have these and they can be yours for the price of shipping. I was going to use them on my car but I wound up with another set and I don't just wanna trash these. These can also be a good replacement for the stock manifolds. These have 1-5/8" primaries with an 1-5/8" collector, same as factory manifolds but they do absolutely flow better. The PS will require some pie cutting to make fit but it can be done to the collector so it isn't a big deal if you have the tools or an exhaust shop should be able to do it pretty easily. Also the stock y-pipe can be used but will require modification at the shop, and you will need O2 sensor bungs welded into the new pipe to use them. There are no bungs on the headers.

See post 4 for the headers

10 month bump.... just added this:



TC/Sport/XR7 rear sway bar, with bolts - $15 and shipping

Great easy cheap upgrade for any fox car without a rear sway bar. 4 bolts through the rear lower control arms and your done. Don't even have to jack the car up or take the tires off :)

Been a long time since I've seen a completely blank console plate. My old 85 was the only one I'd ever seen, in fact...

The one that originally came in my car was all blank exept for a power mirror switch. This one came out of a completely base 87 tbird. Manual mirrors, buttstuffog clock, no defrost, manual windows.... you get the picture. Due to mine being so base and that one being the only other one that I'd seen, I thought at the time that was the norm lol

Those stock 'Stang headers?
Interested~But shipping would likely be a killer (WA to FL) unless you could fit them into a large flat rate box?

Yes stock stang 3.8 headers. Shipping could be a bear but again, they're free so I'll see what I can do if you're interested in them.

Also, be aware that they will need O2 sensor bungs welded into your downpipes. For some reason they are not in these. I think they were in the pipes on the stang since they will not fit into these. The RH does have an EGR fitting though, if you decide are keeping your EGR.

Well my "Goodie" funds are drastically low. :(
My zip is 98037.
I just grabbed a flat rate box and test fitted my stock 84 header and I could likely shove 2 in there (Only have one off at the moment)~Bolt rods may need to puncture the sides.
No worries on the O2 and such~Need to get my exhaust re-done from the headers back anyway.

Checked them out, there is no way they could fit into a flat rate box. Sorry. Btw, also be aware that your stock y pipe will not bolt up to them without modification. Not trying to talk you out of them just being straght up.

I could probably get them shipped to you for < $25 though. I already have a box for them to fit in so I don't think it will be too bad.

<$25 is was what I was hoping for. :)
No worries on the Y modding as I'm gonna need to do some work on the whole exhaust already, Though, What needs to be modded exactly? The angle?

Yes the angle has to be changed because the headers have a slightly different angle than the stock manifolds, and I believe are a bit longer as well, and like I said before, you will need o2 bungs put in. I will see tomorrow what I can do for shipping. Can you give me your zip so I can be more exact?
