$5000 and that comes with everything and believe me I have some parts both on the car and not on. $500 extra if you want the $2000 stereo system.

As it sits it needs:
New 302 Engine block - $700 latemodel restoration
New Radiator - approx $120
New Power Steering Pump - approx $70 autozone
Professional Tuning for the supercharger - approx $250-1000 depends on the dyno

I'm actually only asking $2000 for the car itself and $3000 for all the extras. The block itself is fine but some p*ss port work by Firestone caused some damage to the crank assembly and it's just cheaper to buy a new block with internal assembly than fix that.

Before you go off to paint, search your local salvage yards for matching color parts.
got the dent out of the fender, and buffed almost all the scratches off of it. ordered the turn signal, the bumper has a snal 1in crack that I believe can be easily repaired. the only issue id the cracked header panel, debating on whether or not its worth replacing.

Also the rims turned out to be 956 cobras after all, I looked at them myself the other day. Guy said he would take $250 cash, they look in perfect condition, no scratches or rash. Ill prob go back by this week and take him up on them. For my car, She has decided to go with bullits over these, so soon I will be hunting for a used set.

She detailed the car and I must say it looks fantastic cruising through the street lights at night. In the next couple weeks we will be fixing the AC and soon she will be making arrangements for paint. Still havent got pics, havent had a chance to take them. I will ASAP.

JThorn if I lived closed I would take your offer. Im thinking of trading in SLowPig. Tired of the "Why did you get a 6?????!?!?!?" questions. And tired of ESG telling me to CAM of GTFO. Also tired of trying to find parts for a 95, SinglePort 3.8....

Well change of plans, I'm selling the Kenne Bell and fuel system off my 5.0 and completely rebuilding the car. Believe it or not the Kenne Bell and fuel system is gonna net me more than double the cash I need. Tomorrow I'll have this on the way:

95 Mustang GT Engine Assembly with 87,000 miles
95 Radiator
95 Power Steering
Ford Racing 24lb Fuel Injectors
J4J1 Cobra ECU
JLT Cold Air Intake

I also need to find some 94-04 black vinyl front/rear seats. Long story but I want stock Ford seats back in the car.

I may need a new 94/95 speed cluster, I'm gonna uninstall mine and bring it to Ford and see if they can fix it.

Oh here are pics of the V6 he bought, it won't look different until he repaints it and puts new rims on:





About 4 months after my mom/dad bought back in 08 when my mom drove it:

My GF is making me a "to do list" in order of importance for the car. First, the AC compressor, Second, sound system (repaired), then Paint, Then rims and tires, then duals. We also made a deal, she helps clean my house, I keep her car detailed. Not sure who got the short end of the stick, the car is black, and Im a messy person. We will see.

Thanks, sometimes I need to hear that. And no, no cam. Im thinking of finding a Super Coupe motor, having it rebuilt with a new cam and my SSM heads, and installing it in SLowpig. Hell with the amount of money I have in the car already mind as well keep it for a while. But havent seen a SC for sale around me so have to wait it out....oh and Blue07V6 We ALWAYS get the short end of the stick, its our lot in life.
