I don't like the fact it has had a previous salvage title, but man..........

edit. Who puts an automatic in that car. Now it's no good at all. I reserve the right to defame the car at any time I deem necessary.

Its a great sleeper until you open the trunk. Woulda been cooler if he coulda worked the fuel cell into the stock location somehow. Otherwise Wow is right, if only i could afford to do that.

Right.
Hey buddy wanna race, you yell to the Mustang beside you.
He smiles at you, chuckles at his buddy beside him.
Wait, he says, I want to look in your trunk first. :lol:

Looking under the hood reveals a nasty, mickey mouse nightmare wiring mess. It looks like a backyard conversion. It could have been so much more.
Oh yea. Automatic?? F***!!

I'd have to agree the fit & finish is sub par for 14,5K he could of cleaned it up better then that. also I am dissapointed he didnt have better pictures. Also the person who buys that is probably going to need a saftey. how do you pass a safety with a fuel cell and a battery right next tou it and a nitrous bottle? (at least here anyways). could have did a lil more mentioning of what was in his 302. Sure its a sleeper alright but I would be weary buying a car that has a salvage title.
Also the parts for the swap arent cheap. the power steering conversion pieces are around $1000.00 CDN I didnt take that option with my kit or the a/c. it's strictly a balls to the wall car anyways. 2 grand for little ammenaties I can do without for the most part. plus its added weight and the accessory drive is tight enough as it is in the swap since your required to use a short water pump/ timing chain cover and crank pully. plus the electric fans require a good alternator (being a GM 140 amp :puke:) i'm chosing to use a Ford 3G 200 amp alternator I got from a wrecked windstar. I am also getting a fuel tank custom built to hook up to the regular filler neck to make the car legal.

I would have put a 4.6L FI modular crate motor in it instead....don't like the idea of having a modern car with a carbed engine...kinda like going backwards rather than a leap forward...
Yes I know a 5.0 is cheaper and quicker, etc, but as you guys said, it looks kinda chop shopish...

p.s. I wouldn't really consider that a sleeper, unless loud snoring counts...

All the non working items... airbags for instance... and yeah the underhood looks a bit messy... i would have gone modular as well.. something that could actually pass an e-test.... It is the best way to buy a wrecked car and fix it and build it... unless your rich.... then I would do the ST
