This car has the factory solid white paint and has never been in an accident or repaired otherwise, I am owner number 4 of this car the original owner bought it locally and lived in Brownsville, the second owner bought it from another local dealer and lived here in Jackson he then sold it to the third owner who lived in Lavina so this car has never seen anything but this wonderful West TN weather. The car has some not so common options with it being a coupe it does have power locks & windows, but it has all vinyl gray interior with lighted sun visors round out the interior. Ten whole wheels, with near new toyo proxes 4's, factory 3.55 LSD, smooth shifting T-5 with new mobile 1 ATF, and near new 255 pump
The after market parts start here:, Saleen gauge cluster, Steeda tri-ax shifter, Steeda firewall adjuster, Bear rotors, Ram HD clutch/PP, FRPP aluminum DS, Flow master cat back, ( new parts start here): Earl's braided brake lines, Hotochkis CC plates, Hotchkis U & L CA, Eibach sport line springs, quick ratio rack, Steeda bump steer, ball joints, poly trans mount, solid motor mounts, and Koni Special shocks/struts.
The engine is an R blocked 308 long rod motor with all eagle forged rods, double keyed crank, Ross 8.5:1 pistons, Moroso 7qt pan, I bought this from a good friend in Corinth who was moving up to a big windsor ( short block has 5 dyno pulls that made 1100 at the crank with an F2R ), I had the block powder coated silver vein, and the timing jet coated in hot chrome. I just bought a new set of Victor JR heads with hyd springs, HFT cam motions custom grind cam, lifters, Victor 5.0 intake with spacer, Holley 80mm TB,75# Delphi injectors, Aeromotive 13151 polished regulator, FRPP tall valve covers, EVERY bolt is ARP with the exception of the water neck and motor mount bolts.
The turbo is a new custom built 74mm tang housing with a .91 AR ex, the hotside is a pony down stage 2 with a 3" DP, with heat wrap, Tial 44 waste gate, Tial 50mm gen 2, and all of the oil plumbing parts for the turbo.
I have a FAST bank to bank DFI with some decent supercharged tunes to get started, it also has 3 bar MAP, wide band O2, IAT, and water temp sensor. It also has the crank trigger harness if you wanted to run one as well. I also have an older Toshiba lap top that will go it holds a charge for a while but its not going to run all day.
I also have a MSD pro billet with bronze gear that has been balanced and locked out to match the short block.
The car is still a project and is apart keep in mind this is a 20 year old car with factory paint so its not perfect, the driver seat needs to be recovered or patched, the carpet might get clean with a steam cleaning I am not sure, the quarter windows are sun chapped on the gasket I have been looking for a clean pair but have not had any luck, the cowl vent ( plastic grate under the wipers) has a crack in it, and the deck lid has some rust where leaves collected and held water. The side molding is all there minus one of the small pieces that goes on the quarter panel ( owner #3 was going to paint it).
The motor still needs a front cam bearing (some how that one got lost in the build), it also needs a rear main seal, correct length push rods, rocker arms, water pump, head and intake gaskets ( have an older set of HG's on now for mock up). You will also need the cold side parts for the turbo which should not be too bad since the turbo mounts on the passenger side you just need a dual side inter cooler.
If you just wanted to make it run you could use the factory fuel system and the stock trans/clutch but you know that aint gonna cut it. I would get at least an A1k pump, #10 supply line, #6 return, TKO 600 or what ever trans you want.
I will also put in every bit of ford parts I have here at the house that does not pertain to my truck as this will be the last Ford I build. I know off hand I have a few sets of valve cover gaskets, 31 spline LSD with 3.73 gears for 8.8, 9" housing, engine cradle, ARP front wheel studs, spintech "outlaw" 3.5" oval mufflers with pipe and slip on collar, who knows what else i have piled up that I can not remember.
I have wanted to keep this car but I just do not have the time to work on it anymore neither do I have the drive to when I do have the time.

I can get a collective picture or what ever is wanted/needed but these are all that I have.
I am asking 9500 for everything but cash talks. I do not have to sell but just a lack of interest and time keeps me from buying more parts to finish it out.
