Only driven in nice weather. Always garage kept. Never driven in the winter.

Seems like a clean car with good mods and low miles. I'd say maybe $7500 or a little more.

[travj31]

You check it out in person yet?

[PaxtonShelby]

$6700 and not a dollar more.

[Troll]

Who's gonna paint the hood ???

[1320goat]

I like it. Get rid of those chrome headlights though

[Steve-0]

Why the boost/vacuum gauge?

[Dan B.]

Had a Paxton at one time. Not long though.

[Stangman701]

I like it. Get rid of those chrome headlights though

That was my first thought as well. That and a mach 1 grill delete would make that car look a lot better

[PaxtonShelby]

What's on the back...315's?

[Dan B.]

Don't remember the rear size. They are all in good shape.

[Dan B.]

Who's gonna paint the hood ???

Me. We did the ranger. Several here have seen the paint. It's pretty sweet.

I'd say 7K. looks like a decent car. What is the guy asking? Also, judging by the current mods and it previously having a paxton, it was probably drag raced pretty good. I'd check the motor over and make sure it runs well still.

also, give me that hood. Mine is already silver at least? lol

[Dan B.]

Slow..........that hood swap may be a deal. It's a little tall for my wife. And I think your hood (at least from the sig pic) looks like the one we would want.

Met the guy last night and gave the car a good going over. He's had it since 2004 and only put 30k miles on it. It's super clean. There are only two marks on the outside of the car...it's a 9.5/10. The interior is a 9.5/10. You can tell that he was more of a poser than a racer. He liked to tinker and add stuff to the car but never really did anything with it.

I also get the stock wheels, tires, gauge surround and some other stuff. The big tach will be finding its way into the 387W Ranger.

So.........yes.........I am getting the car. It will get a headlight swap, grill swap and possibly a gear swap. That's it. My son asked if we needed the trailer........I said "nope.........this one actually runs and drives!"

He was asking $7,500. We got it for $6,700. I started at $6,200......I went up 500, he came down 800............so I win!! Picking it up next week.

Anyone have a set of the darker headlights to sell?

[Terminated]

I see what you did there.

[Dan B.]

That went over my head..............but came back around. I got it the second time!!

[Tom]

This was reason enough to buy it!

[Troll]

I see what you did there.

I tried. Time to get D@TW back on front page in front of s33r. haha

Dan, FWIW, that car's probably making about 250rwhp and 280rwtq. I had an '01 with everything he (you) got plus cams (stage 1 comp cams) and u/d pullies and it was putting down 294/314 STD would be about 280/300 SAE. I had a PI swapped '97 before the 01 that put down about 250/280. By my calculations, the cams are worth about 25hp or so. Not really worth the labor.

What gear you thinking about? higher? I think 4.10s are perfect for the 2V. Now, 4.30s would be fun as hell. I had 4.10 in the '97 and loved them. 3.73 in the '01 not so nice... 4.30s would turn it into a 3 speed. :lol:

[Dan B.]

We'll drive it for a while with the 4.10's and see how it does. We plan on road tripping it and want the drone and RPM to be reasonable. Maybe 3.73's. I really like 3.55's as a DD gear. My Ranger has them (C4 trans but 28" tires), T-bird had them (5.0 HO/T5). Her fox vert had 3.90's with an AOD. Made the car feel spunky but almost needed one more gear on the highway.

[Troll]

Yeah, i just blasted around on the weekends. IIRC, the 4.10s put you about 2,300 rpm in 5th at 70mph. not horrible. you could drive around in 4th gear from anywhere above 30mph.

[yeahloh95]

Just make sure u build the bottom end up first . Could probably get away with a little 75-100 hit on it as it sits. I have bottles

I'd rather throw that on the Ranger.........

But a kit for the GT would be nice.

[travj31]

100 on the Ranger would make that a badass little street truck

Couple bolt ons. 9's in no time.

[1320goat]

Run 9s yet?

[Dan B.]

A notary now. Hopefully after lunch I'll uncork it.

[Tom]

Did you get an R to put after the GT badge?

[PaxtonShelby]

Did you get an R to put after the GT badge?

Do that and it will definitely run 9's...

[cLockWise]

If you use some of the special Seer wax, drag reduces and you'll actually run 8's... Just sayin..

Really clean car. Looks good. Not sure if I'm feeling the fake rivets on the bullitts though.
That cowl hood is a bit bigger than I was expecting, looks more like a 3.5"

[Dan B.]

3.5"?

I don't like to brag....but yep. My wife's a lucky woman.

[Dan B.]

Hood is now in paint and cleared. This was probably the easiest prep job ever! It's obviously an aftermarket fiberglass unit and was painted white from the factory. Previous owner painted it with plastidip grey. I'd never encountered this stuff before. But like everyone says, this stuff just peels off!! The entire hood coat was off in five minutes and in one sheet!! I was amazed!

Since the glass was straight and clean, we blocked it with 800 and shot it. It's drying now. I'll try to snap a pic before work tomorrow.

[SlowSix]

Now you should definitely give me that hood since you painted it. Lol

[Dan B.]

Wanted to get a pic but it was pouring and didn't feel like getting soaked running to the garage. Pics will come later.
