NO RESERVE!! $1.00 Starting Bid!! 1987 Mustang LX 5.0L V8 – 5spd. 143,891 miles This is my old drag-racing Mustang. About 10 years ago I used to take it down to Capitol Raceway on Friday nights for a bit of fun. It was a real thrill to sit at the lights, taching up the engine and dumping the clutch on green, banging through the gears as I rocketed toward the quarter mile mark. I never got to the level of serious competition, but I had a great time, and car was fast enough to provide a good thrill. I had some great plans for this car, but then I moved overseas, and it went under a car cover in the driveway and sat. Now I'm back, but I don't have the same interests - or the time - to continue on with this car, so I have decided to put it up for sale and give someone else a chance to play. This car was used for racing, and while it looks rough on the surface, it has some goodies underneath, and would be a good basis for someone looking to do some drag-racing. If you want a standard car for a daily driver, please look elsewhere. This Mustang has been sitting for a long time, so it will need a good going-over before being used, but it does start, drive, and brake. This car has the following things: 5.0L V8 – stock internals, fuel injection Shorty exhaust headers Dynamax cat-back exhaust March ram air kit with K&N filter March under-drive pulley kit Electric radiator fan kit Lightweight starter motor Solid motor mounts Clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing replaced in 2000 Short-shifter Lakewood 70/30 drag shocks on the front Subframe connectors welded on 4.10 gears in the rear 255 liter per hour fuel pump Autometer shift light Cheapo tachometer Comes with a set of rear wheels with drag slicks on them – not sure of condition, they were kept inside but are 10 years old Optional Extras that the winning bidder may purchase separately: Nitrous Works NOS wet system – all components ready to install, comes with jets to adjust from 50 – 150 shot Cobra intake manifold (upper and lower plenums) Fuel pressure regulator As I've said above, this car does run and drive. I have started it once every year or two when I have been visiting home. It fired up surprisingly quickly when I pulled the cover off the other day. I drove it around the driveway and yard a bit to test the brakes and get pics. The oil pressure is normal, and it didn't overheat (though I didn't check to see if the electric fan was switching on). However, this is not a car that you can come and drive away. This car needs to be trailered to its new home. This car has not been used on the road for 10 years. It needs an oil change, a tune-up, should probably have the gas tank drained, and needs a good general going over. In addition, it sounds like the gear on the starter is getting stuck engaged with the flywheel, causing the engine to crank the starter in reverse while it's running. The starter will need to be removed and checked. It may just need some grease to free it up. Other problems I can see on the car include: a completely dead battery, some mold on the front bumper and some spots on the seats, there is some surface rust on the bottoms of the doors (pictured) and on the lip of the rear hatch (pictured), but otherwise, it looks pretty solid. Because there is no interior, the floorpans are easy to inspect and they are solid. The insides of the door jambs and the quarter panels are good too. This car could definitely do with a respray though. I had sprayed it in black primer, but much of that has worn off now. I have tried to describe this car as best as possible. If you have any questions please send me an email. Serious bidders are welcome to come and see the car, just please give me enough notice beforehand. Please be realistic, this is a good car, but it has been under a cover in the driveway for 10 years, it does need work and you will need to trailer it home. This car is sold AS IS. It is not MD state inspected. It is over 20 years old, so if the buyer is a MD resident it will be sold as historic. Payment is to be made in CASH at pick-up. Winning bidder must contact me within 24 hours of the end of the auction, and the car must be picked up and paid for within 1 week. Overseas bidders, bidders with negative feedback, bidders with zero feedback – you must contact me prior to placing a bid. I will delete your bids otherwise.
