Drivers side exit.Most sensors in the car are brand new. (the exceptions being the BP sensor and the VAM)EGR deleted with a home made block off plateThe bad:Has some AFR and power issues when under heavy load/boost. After messing with it all summer last year, we did a leakdown test and discovered that it needs a valve job. (leaking past the exhaust valves a bit) It runs perfect under normal driving conditions, and gets around 30 MPG on the highway if you try. Interior could use some love, as the dash is cracked, kick panels are currently out, and the front seats are worn pretty good. The headliner needs replacing. The rear seat was re-covered last year, but it is in black vinyl and grey leather. it doesnt look bad at all, just slightly different. Its stitched the same though as stock. Small rust spots on the exterior, but nothing that can't be fixed. The rear calipers need a bit of attention, they have newer rotors, but the drivers side rear sticks from time to time. Tinted tail lights that could use a good wet sand and polish. It was in a low speed accident with me driving. Both fenders were professionally painted along with the header panel, hood and the old bumper cover. Red stripe on front bumper cover missing, and the trim behind the wheel wells in the front is also off for now.I know I'm forgetting a lot..... but if you have any questions feel free to ask. I don't want to see this parted out, nor do i have the time to do it myself. It would make a great project for someone with the time. Here is a photobucket of the car: http://s289.photobucket.com/albums/ll211/Griggsbird/Bird%20Pics/Price is 3300 OBO. I stress the OBO, I just want it gone. I've lost interest and want something different. Quote Selected

It's rough. There isn't a big following for them. Everyone wants a 302HO in a stang mustang. I would have been interested when I was looking for a new car, but needing a valve job and stuff was just something I can't deal with atm. Also, I'm in mass, your in WI, thats a bit of a hike. But I'll give you $150. That's $50 more than the last guy :) Quote Selected
