need a daily driver

well now that my stang is sucking 150/wk i really cant afford 5mpg and i need a daily driver, but the catch is i have to sell my mustang first. so if anyone know anybody that wants to buy a classic tell them i got one for sale, and i am accepting offers, i will also include all the original parts that came with the car.
Now the daily driver i would like to get is a 1996-1998 cobra or a modded gt. i would greatly appreciate any help i could get with this.

THanks,
Asa

yes sure.

it has spintech 2.5 inch custom side exhaust with cobra R tips, and a catless H pipe (call spintech and ask the price of that alone)

JLT color matched ram air intake

brand new vert top (not installed yet)

brand new rear tires (less then 300 miles)

new clutch, less then a month old

yellow in car and under body neons

custom made (I built it) nitrous switch panel, no it was never actually hooked up or sprayed....close though.

new 255 lph fuel pump included (would need to be put in)

new fuel filter/tranny fluid/ differential fluid/ plugs were all changed about 3000 miles ago

it has 2003 gt wheels

a 2003 gt leather shift ****

mach 460 with an aftermarket head unit mp3 ready

black racing stripes not installed will be included if desired.

and of course if you need help with the car after you buy, I can come and help you out no problem. I'm pretty well versed in that car and have done all the work to it. let me know if you have any questions. pm me and I can send you here phone number.

but like I said, there is a brand new sail cloth top sitting in a box at home ready for install....the top doesn't leak though....but rugged, a little. it's the original top put on it in 1997. not bad for 10 years of wear

my guess, it will put down about 220 is my guess, and that's at the wheels with current mods, now with a tuner and a good tune on the dyno, 250 is possible.

they are rated at 225 hp at the engine stock, so with exhaust and intake I figure you should have picked up about 40 or so I'd like to think.....

well it looks like im gonna have to sell just to stop the payments on the car, but ill still be in the mustang family, just with a worse looking stang. im only asking 8.5k outta of it so if anyone knows someone wanting an older mustang for a good price, i got one.

now Im looking for a fox body as soon as this one sells, and i was wondering what kind of fox can i get for around 2k- 3.5k. and how easy are they maintained and upgraded?

maintained and upgraded easily....no problemo...biggest problem...the brakes on it suck....and if you do much of any power upgrade, might as well convert to a 5 lug....

I can always help with this if you need. the foxes are fun....I don't know what the going rate here is but you could pick up most for 3 or so....btw, are you partial to carb or do you want fuel injection? there is an sn-95 5.0 out off of wal triana north from 72 (just kinda sitting in a lot) pretty dang clean, looks like minimal mods for 3500 I think.....
