Why did he put a new motor in it? Other wise looks ok. I just wonder how bad it was abused....

plus one on the abused part

m6's have much more problems with the rear than the auto's do

i bought mine with 28k miles on it last year from a family friend for 15k. it was immaculent. 2 weeks later i got 2 offers for 17k. might give you an idea what people might be willing to pay for a mint SS. keep in mind mine is STOCK. i just threw in a k&n, lol



i went from this car





to this car




and trust me, i miss the fox, but i can drive this car everyday and not worry.


when i get hired at my career job, ill build another fox someday i know it. but the SS is a mean ass car.

look what HybridSS has done with his. its got the stock motor in it, cam, heads never been off the motor, exhaust, stall suspension and on the spray going 10.30's soft out of the hole


cant lose man

Only if you consider 1.4 60's soft.

Keep in mind his car has drastic weight reduction, and a th400 tranny. There is no over drive or lock up and you cannot drive that car every day and not worry.

Actually Al's car is reliable now. Its got a basically cam only motor. The only bad part is you just cant go very fast down the interstate because of the tranny/ stall/ gear combo.

honestly, was going to have to put a motor in it again, and it wasnt the MOST reliable car ive owned. i started learning on that car and went from knowing how to do oil changes to pulling the trans and motor in 2 years.

i moved to tampa and am now going to USF and didnt want to bother with wrenching on it in an aparment complex parking lot without my toolboxes. engineering classes are enough of a pain in the ass


trust me, i miss it everyday

well guys..... I just found out some interesting info on the SS.

Come to find out the car has a rebuilt title!!! I even asked the asshole if the car was ever in an accident before.. "NOPE, it has a clean title". What a dick!

He bought the car from Oklahoma and just got the car retitled in Texas. That's how it has a clean title. Gotta love CarFax!!


Any idea what a rebuilt SS would be worth??? Now I just wonder what else is wrong with the car he isnt telling me.

Well, back to selling the mustang I guess!!!

dont buy a rebuilt title car. Youll never know the extent of the damage. Plus, on a unibody car, its hell... They arent worth shit.
