Parting out '89 Vert...apologies to Ralph!

Well, my assignment is coming up before much longer and I need to start reducing the 89 5.0 vert parts car to the bare minimum. If you need something along the lines of interior parts, glass, rear seat, suspension, etc, send a PM and I'll let you know if its still there.

Thanks!

Front struts already sold. I have a set of BBK performance springs (front and rear) and a aftermarket K-member.

Only rear seat available. It is indeed gray.

Are the springs progressive rate or fixed. Basically, are they light blue or a charcoal color. What do you know about the K-member? Drag race type, or road race? PM me a price on both. Thanks.

Typically, a K-member built for drag racing will lighter then one for road racing. Here are some pics. Notice how much thicker the MM one is compared to the UPR. A drag setup is designed to be as light as possible, and not designed to support the extreme side loading that heavy cornering can cause. A road race setup is built for strength first and the reduced weight is a by product of it being a tubular design. Does that help?

Stock K-member from an 88 5.0 5-speed coupe that was totaled (also mine...).

Springs are charcoal.

There was not much changed out of parts to other-than-stock. My thought was this was a daily driver to go to the beach with, and when it broke down, go to Autozone/whatever and get parts.

Valve covers
MASS AIR - Speed Density harness/computer change
Springs/struts/shocks
Radio
4-point G-load and STB braces
FMS A-arms
R12 - R134A

If something else was replaced, it was stock. Otherwise, it was refreshed/renewed.
