No, not for the whole thing as one package. But if I part out the mods, then yes somewhere between 25-30 should be within my reach. I sold my old peter ferrell intercooler on eBay a while ago for $820, it was two years old. It's amazing what things go for on eBay. As far as the car itself, I think I'll put it up for sale for a firm price and wait (i'm in absoulutely no hurry) for someone who does'nt mind spending a couple thousand more for a car in great shape. It only has 85k miles, no body damage whatsoever, no door dings, perfect interior, the engine is in great shape, blah blah blah.

good god

could you get anything else in that list?



Ill vouch for ray...his car is meticulously maintainted...moreso than any fd that I have seen. If someone wants a car that has not had the hell beat out of it and has been done right then they will pay the extra cash for his.

in the "hard to find a clean fd" days ahead someone will see what rays is and gladly pay the cash.

hey ray...Im gonna trade in 2001 ranger 4x4 next month. we have to get a ford (leias dad retired from ford so we get a few grand off the price)....we are going to get another truck though....it looks like we are going to pick up a Lighting.

for about two seconds i considered selling the the fd or trading both it and the ranger in for a new cobra convertible....I went down to the dealer thinking.."man all i would have to do is throw on exhaust all the way thru and chip the sucker and Im at 500hp with a warrantee"...then I got there and saw that ugly *** piece of **** and decided to keep the fd. that cobra has the same climate controls and interior pieces as my truck. wtf??...not to mention that it looks cheap like a mustang...the motor looked sweet though...I love raw power...mmmmm

so...until something comes out that I like better than an fd it looks like Im going to stick it out....I looked at 350z's for fun...but the markup is nuts and they got no ballz yet...I aint being not guinie pig either...next year mayble.
