I went with my friend today to look at a '93 Coupe a local guy had for sell... let me start by saying his garage would make any car guy drool... he had an original old school(don't remember the year) White T-bird, a Blue '79 Pro Street Mustang with a DSS 393, Black(as they only came in Black and Marlboro Red special edition) Cylcone # 0050, 2 dirt track cars, a car trailer, and enough parts and tools, and compressors to open his own shop and build a car from scracth! lol... anyways, the car in question was a Red '93 Coupe with a fairly extensive parts list that goes like this...

306 Stroker- Over $4,000 invested in motor
GT 40 Heads
Typhoon Intake
73mm Mass Air
75mm Throttle Body
Crane Gold-Race Full-Roller Rockers
FRP F-Cam 288L/512D
LongTubes with O/r H
Flowmaster dumps before rearend
Forged Keith Black Pistons
Forged Keith Black Rods
Forged Keith Black Crank
Pete Jackson Gear Drive
Ford Motorsports Stage 3 Clutch
Ford Motorsports Firewall Clutch Adjuster & New FMS Clutch Cable
New 5†Autometer Tachometer(not Installed)

Adjustable Coil Over Springs (Front)
Rear 4-Link
Auburn 8.8 Posi w/430 Gears
5 Lug Conversion
Welded Sub-Frame Connectors
LPW Rear-End Support
4-Point Roll Cage
It's also got upper and Lower Control arms in the rear but he couldn't remember the brand
Weld racing wheels - 3" Front - new tires, 8.5" rear with Street Racing Radials

He's also throwing in....
A Pair of new Black APC racing seats
Pair of new 5-Point harnesses(still in the box)
New front fenders
New carpet for the trunk
New carpet for the interior
New Gauges
AND an entire set of rims and tires so my buddy can keep the Welds in the garage until they're needed.


After some talk, i think my buddy is going to make a few changes... possibly a set of AFR 205 heads, a NON Alphabet cam, a P&P'd Edelbrock intake, a JLT CAI, also a rear seat delete
Another of our friends is offering a Procharger for the car for $1200 INSTALLED, so who knows... the car isn't in perfect shape, but it's not bad... need a claybar,buff and wax and she'd be ok.


I'll get pics when i can... I'm jealous of him now

Re: Buddy's new car...

He was asking $5500 obo. My buddy offered $5,000 and he took it. we're picking it up next Saturday. I believe the seats, fenders and other set of rims and tires are coming to my house, as he just bought his house and the guy he bought it from has all his stuff in the Garage still, until end of February. Then he'll be coming here and taking it to his place... I think we're also going to chunk the 4.30's in favor of some 4.10's... the guy said he was redlining across the finish with the 4.30's, so i think a smaller gear will keep the car in it's powerband slightly longer, and keep it from redlining across the line.

Re: Buddy's new car...

Yeah, I think it'll be a fun car... We were talking about FFW Richmond. He wants to enter it, but it looks like i'm going to be driving, so thats even better, I'll run my '95, and then his... though mine is more bracket racing, because honestly, that engine with 150,000 miles has damn near given up... when a 4 door accord(my buddies) walks me once i get into 3rd, it's time for an overhaul... LOL... i had him through first and second, and halfway through third when he walked me... i'm afraid she's about to give up the ghost... atleast I'll be able to throw his car into the 12's... apparently the guy who he bought it from has run a 12.5xxx on slicks.

Re: Buddy's new car...

The pictures i have are to big to post, and i don't know anywhere to host them. if you know a place let me know, or if you have somewhere, i can email them to you. I have the pics on my computer waiting to be shown... they're not great, but they'll suffice.
