Up for sale is my 1989 Ford Mustang GT. ~158k miles on body, 10k on motor/trans. ~2-3k on suspension/rear end parts. Vortech supercharged. Selling it because the rings in the #7 cylinder (3rd back from front drivers side) are bad, ausing the spark plug to foul up almost immediately, nd I can't afford to put any more money into it. I had new Cometic head gaskets put on about 1k miles ago after the old ones blew last year, nd the shop said there was some rust in the #7 cylinder from water sitting in there from the blown gasket, ut that it might last some before a rebuild. So, ith my blessing, e put new gaskets on, nd it ran great for a little bit, ut now it needs to be rebuilt. Will list parts below, asically all the car needs is a new shortblock, r this one rebuilt, nd it should run low 11s on drag radials and high 10s on slicks. Car dyno'd at 345whp with an 11.8-12:1 AFR and 15 degrees total timing, nd I got it to run 12.3@110on drag radials with the only decent launchof the night when it was first put together on that tune, o there's a lot more in it. I was just not expecting the rings to go this quick, nd I can't put any more money into the car, o it needs to go to a new home instead of sitting in my driveway again for a while. This combo was first in my other Mustang with no Vortech, ut unfortunately I wrecked that one, o I acquired this car from a friend which had the Vortech already installed, nd I just slid my drivetrain in and did all the suspension work. All work done by Maryland Perfomance Center in Frederick, D. Tune done by George @ MPC. Car is worth at least $9-10k with a good motor, nd it should cost about $3-4k to have a basic shortblock rebuilt and/or installed, o the price reflects that difference. I know what the parts on the car are worth, nd what it's worth parted out, o I won't take any lowball offers, orry.
