Default 1989 Mustang 331 with $16,000 in upgrades

Name: Brian
Location: Fredericksburg
Means of contact: 703-629-2689 or brian.drumm@yahoo.com
Price: $7,000 PRICE DROP

LOOKING FOR TRADES NOW. WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

Description: I've owned the car for 3 years now and love it. I have a 1 y/o daughter and her car seat does not fit in the back. I'm also tired of putting money into a 25 y/o car. I have most of the receipts and there is around $16,000 invested in the car. The only issues with the car is 4th gear sometimes has a slight grind to it if you hammer it into 4th and the car really needs a tune. The body has around 114K miles on it and the build has around 3,000 miles. The parts are listed below. Let me know if you have any questions.

All of a sudden the car won't start, possible bad computer. I can't put any more money into it so come get it for $7,000 and its yours.

Here's a quick video.

I haven't had the cash to get it tuned/dyno'd. Excessive Motorsports in Mansssas will do it for $600, I just don't have the cash. All spare change lately has gone to diapers, ha. It should be around 400 WHP...guessing.

Beautiful car but quick question -

Did you buy those trick flows new? What did you have done for $350 worth of labor to freshen them up?

Same with the rotating assy.

GLWS.

I've had the TF heads for a few years and when the motor was getting worked, I have the heads cleaned up, 3 angle valve job and new guides installed.

I had the motor completely redone because DSS is crap and couldn't get theor own product balanced right. I had Norpa Machine Shop in Woodbridge do all the short block work. They tore everything apart, completely balanced everything with the flywheel and clutch, then put it back together using new race bearings and Hastings rings.

I have the receipt for both.
