The big problem we are going to have with this thread is everyone will be basing their opinions on where they live. I know cars in the South are much cheaper than in Cali and the Northeast so I kind of try to adjust in my mind for COL etc.

I will probably buy my next Mustang down South for this reason. A few I have seen online were several thousand less than similar cars up North.

Very true. For this reason i put the location of the seller (texas). Northern cars are absolutely priced higher then southern cars. I hate snow and salt why do we stay up here again? :p

Rip-Off (I sound like a broken record :( ).Haha dont worry i said rip off on all three also. But id have to say that this one is close. If buyer dropped price for paint costs it would be a home run (assuming everything else checks out)

$12K is 2003 Cobra money. This car is NOT a 2003 Cobra. It's a 98 Cobra with some 03 Cobra bits swapped in. True. (A 98 Cobra should run about $4 to $5K Up north a 50k mileage cobra can hit 8-10k. Down south yup!!(and the mileage prob is not 50k lol) That's not to say this car isn't decent - it may be. The issue with swaps really comes down to the person that did the work - do you trust his/her ability? How long has the swap been in there? Just finished? Several years ago so we know all the gremlins have been worked out? So true, not sure why he want out has to be things to do still. No mileage is listed with the car, either. It's probably a fun car to drive, but also probably has it's little issues. EXACTLY. I would say around ~$7K might be a fair price for this car, assuming it was in good condition. 7k would be fair. Depending on the mileage of body and motor. some low mileage 03-04 blocks plus the t56 go for 5-6k alone on places like eBay. The plastidip kind of sucks, as you can't see the quality of paint underneath it. I know the lister said faded - but like what? Just faded? Clear coat coming? Gone? Scratches, orange peel? Peeling off the plastidip could be a nasty surprise...or not a big deal. LOL :thumbsup:im assuming its toasted and needs full paint. Wrap was his cheaper option and now he regrets it? But who knows. That will affect people's willingness to spend that kind of money on this car Exactly, if only he didnt try to take the shortcuts on the paint :undecided:

I think its the money????

On a good note my Mustang has never seen snow or salt covered roads in the 19 years I have owned it.

Yeah, that about sums it up lol. It would be a b**** to move out of state at this point...maybe one day.

Great choice. Have a few friends and family down that way. Cant go wrong.
:thumbsup:

Thats really good, most of the sn95s in nj are beat to crap and rusted out. Thankfully my daily driver 2006 takes the weather punches for the mustangs year round. Both my 97 and 98 are stored during winter. I think i could say the same for the previous owners of both cars,
The 98 seems to have been garaged its entire life (great paint) while the 97 may have sat in the snow a few winters. The 97 is experiencing clear coat failure on the hood roof and trunk. (0 clear is left in those areas it looks matte but better then "spots" lol) i have inspected both cars and thankfully neither shows signs of rust. :thumbsup:

1) Is that Tony's old car???? o_O If that is, Tony my man, you *really* need to work on that grammar for the add, reading it almost gave me a nosebleed. ;) Whether it is or isn't, I hate to say it, but no way should that car go for over $10K. I know a lot was put in to it, I know a lot of money was too, and it was done well (if it was Tony's old car), but the fact is it's a custom SN95 Mustang. Better hope someone sees it and just falls in love with and must have it. Otherwise, people will post that on a forum somewhere saying something like "lol someone wants $10K+ for a 15+ year old Mustang!" Which may be a shame, but is also reality :( Having said that, I don't know what Tony ended up selling his car for, and whether or not he felt it was a good price.

2) That is probably a "fair" price - maybe a little on the high side. The real issue the car has is "who cares." Who cares about the McLaren suspension? It is really any good? It's basically a normal 1988 Mustang GT vert with a McLaren suspension on it. So maybe there's a McLaren nut out there with money to burn that will absolutely just have to have this in his McLaren collection. Most people (i.e. the rest of the world) will not care, and just see it as an overpriced Mustang.

3) Waaaaay Rip-OFF. I think that's a SuperPerformance Coupe. Those cars (the Factory Five version, NOT the SuperPerformance) are very, very near and dear to my heart. One day I will build one of those (using a Facotry Five kit and my current Mustang). Right now, it's a dream. The SuperPerformance kits are way overpriced because they got the real Pete Brock to work with them on the body style (he helped design the original), and Shelby I think officially supported these kits. Thus the price. Personally, I think the Factory Five kit looks WAY better. And the kit can be had for like $20K. Don't want to build it yourself? You can pay someone to build your FF kit, to be better in every way than the SuperPerformance kit, for like $80K. And that's a high estimate. The SuperPerformance kits are no way worth that money, not even close, and they don't even look that good. Look at those kits compared to FF kits, FF kits look tons better. Anyone that buys that kit is just a Pete Brock/Carroll Shelby fanboy and has more money than sense. I mean $160K is Lamborghini money. Ridiculous. You can have at least 2 FF kits for the price of one of those, and a lot more if you build them yourself.

Edit: it is a SuperPerformance car - I didn't even read the words before posting because I knew what it was the second I saw it. And that owner is probably trying to sell it because he realized he got sold up the river on something he could have for a lot less.

One of my friends had a Mclaren back in the late 80's and while it was nice, it really was just a 2 seater GT Vert.

I think the suspension was from Saleen. They were a good $10k over the cost of a GT back then too.

There was a nice one for sale here in NJ last summer for @$5k that I would have bought but the fox prices are starting to climb here so $6500 isn't bad considering I have seen fox GT verts going for $7-8k the last few months. I bet that one could be had for $5k and if it was a 5 speed I may be calling....2 seater!

1) LOL SERIOUSLY!? IS IT Tony?! I stumbled upon this car by chance. But i just realized the ad IS near by.

2) Wonder how it rides? If it holds true to the brand name and handles great even in this day and age then yeah maybe id offer 5 MAYBE 6,000 and give it some sort of power adder. But then again...when that suspension gives out where do you go from there? What now? New McLaren suspension? OEM? Must be a pain to find OEM suspension parts for that car. Your absolutely right some rich McLaren nut has to buy it for things to be right and even then it will probably rarely be used let alone the way we all would use it.

3) LOL! YES! could not have said it any better myself. I love this car as well. But this guy is nuts. 160k?! Just like you said these cars can be made for a fraction of the cost but still have all of that car and more if you desire. 160k is over the moon.

The answer is it probably handles no better than any other 88 Fox body with a good set of struts/shocks. Put some Bilsteins on it and I bet you wouldn't know the difference. Unless McLaren specifically modified all the geometry and suspension pickup points to be different/better, it's just a Fox body with a nice struts/shocks/springs. Meh. Now, if McLaren *did* modify the geometry, made it better, then it might be worth the money (but then, good luck finding replacement parts).

Oh, and I wasn't trying to be a d1ck or anything about those SuperPerformance cars (sorry to any SuperPerformance fans out there), I was trying to emphasize on how insane that price tag of $160K is.

:shocked: i knew the build was in the style of @tony but had no idea it was his car! LOL :p

HaHa, thats good to know. If its only suspension stuff then it really isnt all that special. But if it has different geometry as mcglsr2 said that would be different. I have noticed foxs on the rise as well. In 2013 they were going for only 5-6K with all new paint and a good list of mods.

The answer is it probably handles no better than any other 88 Fox body with a good set of struts/shocks. Put some Bilsteins on it and I bet you wouldn't know the difference. Unless McLaren specifically modified all the geometry and suspension pickup points to be different/better, it's just a Fox body with a nice struts/shocks/springs. Meh.

LOL wasnt 100% sure but you make a very good point. Now i wonder...research time

"With the change to the Mustang body for 1987, sales inched up slightly to 479 cars. 1988 saw the ASC/McLaren's sales more than double, selling over 1000 cars for the first time. Leather seats, wheel and shift knob, ASC only center console, premium sound system, 1" lowering sport springs, and 15x7 McLaren wheels with Gatorbacks were now all standard.With the optional ground effects package, the ASC/McLaren's sleek design was a marked contrast from the "boy racer" looks of the Mustang GT. Total 1988 production was 1015 cars, the peak of ASC/McLaren Mustang sales"


"The story may have been different if McLaren had put more than just the name on the car and had a hand in reengineering the engine and drivetrain. Final total for all seven years of production was 2678. This low production amount is the main reason that the ASC/McLaren is nearly unknown, being over shadowed by the rubber burning Saleens."

Good Buy or Rip-Off?

1) "Toyota Supra 2JZ MK4 BIG turbo 1000hp 6spd VOLK TE37 V160 "

"""OTHERWISE 40K AS IS WITH EVERYTHING"""

00E0E_7p2yTYuNYGR_600x450.jpg



Im selling my 95 Toyota Supra turbo. It makes roughly 900whp at only 28psi of boost and plenty of boost and fuel left to go (50psi and only at 72% dudy), Do the math that's over 1000hp engine rated. The turbo setup and fuel system can do 1200whp+ But I choose not to as 900 is plenty and it doesn't hurt the engine. The car is tuned on E85.

00x0x_6I0iyehjvN7_600x450.jpg


This car was build by me. I bought it with a bad engine from a buddy and redid the whole thing top to bottom. The engine/turbo is a completely new and so is the head. Someone didn't know how to build a engine I guess as it didn't last long at all.

Car starts up first try and runs great. A little too fast for the average person so if you want I will turn the power level down just to be safer until your ready for more.

That Supra would bring $35k in NY/NJ area I think but I am not sure about the Tulsa area and the demand for imports like that.

Guy sounds like a douche though.... bring your owns wheels, bring your toilet paper.

Why do I not see a price for the mustang coupe!?!

Jeep I could see going for that around here. They go for crazy mad money especially when built like that.

Supra would sell for $35k here but only with all of the parts on it.

Yeah, jeep seems like a good deal. Tires alone go for like 2k... axles easily 8-10k. That winch is 1k then top-it-off with that 6.0 v8 and i think we have our selfs a winner. Good deal if the build is new.

LOL DropTopPony. That guy is one cocky a-hole its almost comical.


This car was build by me. I bought it with a bad engine from a buddy and redid the whole thing top to bottom. The engine/turbo is a completely new and so is the head. Someone didn't know how to build a engine I guess as it didn't last long at all.

Car starts up first try and runs great. A little too fast for the average person so if you want I will turn the power level down just to be safer until your ready for more

.
the car made 900hp to the wheels turn key low 9sec car
if you can drive it correctly lol.

Who would be buying a 900rw supra that wasn't aware of psi function? WHAT IS THIS MYSTICAL CREATURE he calls PSI? lol. So full of himself.
Is this even necessary?No.

The Reason for selling is I have 4 of these, no need to keep it. Plus I am packed and need room for other new toys coming (GTR34 S15 etc) J



Def would bring higher value east coast

1. I could see the supra going for that price in the right location.... Akron Ohio, probably not

2. The jeep seems fair priced for what's in it, it's still obtainable for someone that would use it for what it was built for.

3. I don't know what classics generally go for, but the $9k looks good to me! I'd take that if it's as clean as it looks in the photos. Hope to have one like this some day
