86 Élan, 5.0 , 5-speed, 8.8

Ok have had this on here a few times but now I have purchased a 17 mustang and don't have much room around here anymore. This car was bought new by my grandmother in 86. Was a 3.8 c5. Car. Now has Motorsport crate 302, world class t-5, 8.8 3.55 and rear disc, upgraded front disk. All she needs is paint. I have original fenders that have driving lights in them, a cowl hood, Motorsport wing 3 piece. Will include everything I have if price is right. I have someone in town that wants the drivetrain and will pay good money but I have a lot of hours in this car. There is so many extras and everything is almost new. Please call for more info. 815-988-1905. I'm just north of Rockford, IL.

Still no one has bought this? I'd consider it but I've got too many cars as it is....

Hopefully someone will buy it. Tons of good cars for sale on here, but not enough members.

I have put it on a few times but always started driving it and then want to keep it. Now that I bought the 17 Mustang, I have no room.

I do still have this car. I am getting it out of storage soon if anyone would like to see it. This car drives great. I have also located the original order form and buyers order when my grandma purchased it on June 13th 1986. Give me a call at the number up top.

This next week will sell for 4500 but has to be this next week as my buddy offered me his boat before he trades it in. He is trading it next weekend. This car is a steal for 4500 with the parts it has. If it was a fox mustang coupe would be 8k all day long

I want to add that I also have original fenders with corner lamp, turbo coupe tail lights, extra weatherstrip, extra headlight bezels, 2 more 85-86 grills. If the car sells I will have a fiberglass cowl hood and a three piece wing for sale but only after the car sells.

Wing

This is the rare three piece wing that everyone wants. I will only sell with the car or after the car sells. If I keep the car it is going on it. Sorry

Guys this is a great car that was done correctly. It just needs finish paint which I have been toying with having done but will then try and keep
