Vehicle Detail

This auction is a relisting due to nonpayment/noncommunication from a previous winner. I shouldn't have to say this, but if you are not a serious bidder, please do not waste my time. SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY. I require an immediate deposit of $500 via paypal within 48 hours of auction close. I will also send an email/ebay message requesting some information regarding the close of the transaction directly upon auction end, please reply to this message within 48 hours. Some kind of prompt communication will make all parties feel better. That aside, onto the car...This car is an old project of mine that I worked on through the college years but I have since moved on to a newer Mustang. I bought the car used at Mileage: 42440 and am now selling it at Mileage: 96190.5. I wish to sell this car AS-IS. The body is in excellent condition and it drove well for many years, I maintained it regularly. The only problem with the car now is a small leak in the engine that the shop wasn’t able to seal when I had them install some used heads (ported) and a lower intake manifold (ported) that that I bought in an auction. The shop told me that one of those two parts was ported too much which is what was is causing the leak. Being younger and less wise at the time, I sold the original heads and intakes prematurely, trying to cover shop labor costs, before I learned of the leak weeks later. As such, I got stuck with the problem. Since then, I garaged the car to simply toss a brand new engine in and never got around to it. This car can be driven good as new with a simple replace of either those heads or the lower intake manifold (a repair shop could tell you which) or even used to house the transplant of a newer replacement engine. eBay sells certified recycled V6s for this car as low as $500. It also has the 8.8" rear end so it is partially prepared for a V8 transplant as well. The car was tuned with a racing tune from VMP Tuning using the SCT Xcalibrator. That tuner is being thrown in with the car and can be used for many other vehicles. You need only flash the computer back to stock with the Xcalibrator in order to “unlock” it from this Mustang and use it on another vehicle. The current tune requires you use premium fuel for maximum performance. The tune also adjusted the shift points and made them firmer while also removing speed and rev limiters. This was by far the funnest performance mod I added to the car and I’m passing it on to the car’s new owner. There are two other custom tunes already programmed into the Xcalibrator for performance with lower octanes as well. You can easily switch between any of them or take the computer back to factory stock if you wish. All you have to do is plug it into the car, follow the tuner instructions, and you're done in less than 5 minutes. The car has two sets of keys and key fobs. Despite the small leak with the engine, the car is still driveable (though a little noisier and shakier than usual). The battery was recently charged back up after having been dead a while so a new battery will probably be needed soon. I would also recommend all the typical fluid changes as the car has been garaged since '07. The tires on the car are not the same tires that the car was garaged on. These are newer wheels/tires that were swapped on less than a month ago (7/19/11) so you don't have to worry about changing those. The car is being stored at my home in Rio Rancho while I am out of state for work. The buyer will need to coordinate with a trusted friend of mine who is acting caretaker of the house to arrange a pickup time and date. His contact information will be provided upon full-payment received. The Kelly Blue Book lists this year Mustang with its mileage at around $4590 in good condition, but since there is a small engine issue, I will only consider the excellent body plus all the performance mods added in and start the bid at $2000 as a newer replacement engine can easily be bought and installed for $2590 or less of the difference.Regarding the pictures below, I had my friend take the most up-to-date pictures for me but his angles didn't show a full view of how the car looked so I included some older pictures as well to show off more aspects of the car. ONLY THE 7 PICTURES WITH THE TIMESTAMP ARE CURRENT. As such, the car no longer has the matching 8000k HID fog lights nor does it have the 18" Saleen wheels anymore. The red front brakes were the original V6 brakes painted, they've since been upgraded to 13" rotors with Mach 1 calipers. The stereo, gauges, and hood/underchassis neon are all still on the car though. The full list of the mods still on the car are listed below. Before someone asks, I no longer have the parts that are no longer on the car so I cannot sell them to the winner, I'm sorry.To the winning bidder: I have an authentic, Saleen body kit straight from their factory in storage as well (Front bumper, Rear bumper, Side rocker panels, and a Saleen hood scoop insert) that I never got around to installing. It is still new in the box that was shipped to me. I will toss it in for an extra $500 (about $1500 less than I bought it for) at the buyer’s request to be picked up with the car. This would be great if you wish to leave the more unique look and go straight Saleen. It comes with all the Saleen style mesh grills that go on with those parts. There is no reserve on this car.
