Almost every day on a certain car news website, they will post an out-of-the norm car for sale and ask his readers if the car is priced right or wrong.
I havent seen a thread like that yet on here so i have decided to start one here. Feel free to post your own finds as well. Try to keep it in the style as the one found below this.
Good buy or Rip off??
1992 Ford Thunderbird modified 99-01 4.6 4v swap
Asking Price: $15,422 in U.S. $19,000 Canadian, $13,696 in Euros
"As good as that might have been, the seller of this 1992 edition didn’t say “oh yeah,†he said “oh yeah?†and built himself what he thought was a proper Bird, one that took a lot of its DNA from a crazy snake that thought it was a horse. That of course was the Cobra Mustang from whose parts bin this Thunderbird got a lot of its wonderful toys.Let’s start with the engine, which is a hand-built - apparently by John and Larry - 4.6-litre DOHC 4V aluminum V8. While not a Coyote(), that’s still an engine that was good for over 300 horsepower in its day(). Today, it’s a clean crate install in this Bird, and that includes the mill’s wiring harness, and exhausts you could stick your arm up."
"Behind the romper stomper V8 sits a Tremec T45 and that sends the ponies back to a 3.73 LSD rearend by way of an aluminum driveshaft. Keeping all that in check are four-wheel disc brakes from a 2002 Mustang Cobra, with Baer-brand drilled rotors. Those are handily wrapped in five-spoke SVT Cobra alloy wheels. The suspension has seen significant refreshment, and according to the ad the whole thing comes with extensive documentation of the work done.
The interior of the car shows little wear and tear for its 238,000 kilometers, and features aftermarket gauges to keep track of what’s what. The body too looks to be in fine shape and a little more butch than stock owing to the high-center hood. Cobra badges on each front fender add to the car’s overall air of quiet badassitry."
