88 xr7 $800

Time to go, been sitting for a couple years now.  Transmission is shot but I have all the T5 swap parts to whoever buys it.  5.0 explorer engine with an A9L.  Good Tires.  Engine has low fuel pressure but it is either the kirban regulator or the small rubber line in the tank is split, it happend once before and I think I replaced it with a regular hose. 

The car is located in Vinton county Ohio 45622, I can help with delivery around Ohio. 

Old Picture here, pretty much the same except for a spot on the driver fender from a deer.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

This makes me feel bad...this car is only $500 more than I paid for my 88 LS, and mine has a really rough body.

swap the t-5 into it and fix the fuel pump then sell it for $2k. even as thick as stang guys can be, they would pick it up for that anywhere.

I'll give you $1000 for it. $1500 if you put the t-5 in it.

Edit: And I'll help with the Tranny swap.
