Putting this up for a buddy of mine.


It's an '88 LX 5.0, 5-speed, red with gray interior. I recently replaced the head gaskets, (and all other gaskets from the heads up). Installed some Ford Racing wires, MSD coil, full length headers, H-pipe, Flowmaster 40's with axle dumps. I think there is more but that's all I can remember at the moment.

The metal heater line where rusted out so we just got rid of them and blocked the heater stuff off. Also deleted the EGR as the headers didn't have provisions and he needed it done as cheap/quick as possible. The car does run and drive just fine but the freeze plugs need replaced. You can see a BB sized hole in a passenger side freeze plug pouring water. Two others did the same thing but in an attempt to get it home, we used some two part epoxy to seal the hols. Every time we sealed one another one sprung a leak though. The car had been sitting for a few odd years before he got it.


He is wanting like $1500 for everything. I can get pictures if someone is seriously interested. The car does NOT have a title so I guess it would be a drag car project or something. The guy he bought it from gave him a bill of sale and was suppose to get a duplicate title but is now in prison so...

Interested in pics, wouldn't hurt to have a spare parts car.

OK, I will try to get some pics soon. He is down to $800 without the headers/exhaust

Went to get pictures and I guess he is now getting the title some how and not selling it...
IDK, dude changes his mind every 20 minutes on this damn thing. told me $400 one day, then $800 the next, then $1500, then $500...

If that number comes back, I am just going to buy the damn thing, put new freeze plugs in it and sell it myself.

this guy sounds like a flake. It didnt sound like a bad deal but the price jumping all over the board is a bad sign.

IDK... sometimes he needs money bad and will sell shit for next to nothing, then sometimes he thinks something is worth 3-4 times what it is actually worth.

OK.... he is apparently "coming into some money" and just wants this thing gone, I asked him a price and he just said "Money talks, make me an offer".


So, if you are at all interested, give him a call, take a look and make him an offer! I know he has sold shit for dirt cheap in the past so who knows....
