The time has come for me to pass this car on to the next person. I've had a blast with this thing, but my A.D.D. is kicking in and the 2011 Mustangs are going to have 400hp and 6 speeds from the factory. I have never owned a car that I have been so happy with and received so may positive comments on, until this one.

For those that don't know the history of the car, here's a quick lesson. The car was bought new by BillyGMan and shortly after he purchased a Trilogy Supercharger kit, Kooks long tubes, MagnaFlow mufflers, 4.56's and a PI 3000rpm stall torque convertor. The car was featured in the Trilogy burnout contest videos, and numerous small videos.

Billy sold the car to Zack with a knocking noise that turned out to be a rod bearing. The cause of the bad bearing was a failed oil pump, which Zack replaced with a Cobra pump. Zack also replaced the bad bearing, and repaired the rod to like new condition. He also freshened up the transmission with new clutches, and had the torque convertor rebuilt by P.I. Zack also ordered up a K&N cold air kit and repalced the S/C belt with a Gates unit.

I've done a few small upgrades since I purchased it from Zack in March of 2007. I had a local chassis shop fabricate rear upper and lower control arms, simular to the design of the Z&M arms. I upgraded the front rotors to Power Slot rotors with Napa Adaptive One pads. I also have braided flexible brake lines for the front and rear. The front springs have one coil removed to lower the stance and the front sway bar was replaced with an Addco unit. I have a Pioneer AVIC-D1 Nav/ipod/XM in dash CD/MP3 player that was installed by myself, and uses a PAC module to retain the use of the steering wheel buttons.

The car currently has 88,000 miles on it. There are a few bad items with the car, as it was my daily driver and emergency response vehicle until recently. There are a few dings, scuffs, and scratches, but no major damage. There is a small oil leak where the oil cooler meets the engine block. The car comes with a SCT 9100 tuner, which is now not supported by SCT. Some older dealers still have the software to support it, but the best thing would be to get it retuned with more current software and tuner. I recently replaced all the tires with Nitto 555 tires, 255/45/18 up front 285/40/18 on the rear.

The car will come with the following items:
Trunk organizer
License Plate bracket
SCT 9100 tuner
replacement bypass valve from Trilogy
17" P71 rims, hubcaps, and tires for winter use
2 16" P71 rims for use with slicks
OEM control arms
OEM sway bar
OEM corner lights
aftermarket headlights
OEM radio / cd player

All of my emergency equipment was mounted and installed so no permanent effects would happen to the car. Once I have a buyer, all equipment will be removed in a professional manner and so that no damage incurs to the car or equipment. I will have the car professionally detailed before the owner picks it up. There is a lien on the title, which will have to be resolved at the time of purchase.

I do not have to sell the car, but having the funds free to pay down our debt so that when the 2011 Mustangs are available for order, I can get the best financing would be nice.

I'm asking for my pay off amount, which is $15000. I do not want to come out of pocket to clear the lien. Pics will be posted shortly, I will have to take pics of the car as it is now with the new rubber.

If the 2011 mustangs for some reason dont get the coyote V8, you are gonna be kicking yourself in the butt for selling this car :P

True, but not having a car payment for 18 months will allow me to save money for a supercharger if they decide not to use the "Coyote."

Sorry to see you sell Drew. It was good meeting you and Melanie! This car looked great to me when I saw it in Kentucky. Good luck, although for that price you shouldn't need any luck! Somebody better bite fast!

It was nice hanging out with you as well. I will still attend the local meets, just in a different car.

Bump. I can work with a shipping company and maybe split shipping if that will help someone decide.

The car has developed a knock internally and is no longer for sale until the issue is resolved. Mods, feel free to close the thread.
