So, actually kind of a funny story. When i went to look at the Evo I had to have my mom test drive it on account of i don't know manual yet. Anyway, she winds up loving the thing and decides that she wants something sportier than what she has and wants to try and sell her 09 TL.
She got it new and it barely has 13k on it, it's garage kept and all routine maintenace has been done. She drives 8 miles every day monday to friday and that's pretty much it with the exception of when i take it out every now and then to stretch its legs. I know they say only 3% of cars are in "excellent" condtion, believe me, this is it.
It's the base model, so FWD and no technology package.
I'll add pictures and provide more info in the unlikely scenario someone is interested.
KBB value is $30,900, MM price is $29,500.

Here's your opportunity.
Sort of.
So the Bullitt Mustang was 68 Fastback with a 390 and a 4 speed.
This is a 66 Coupe with a bored-out 5.0 and a 4 speed.
Bullitt Mustang was chased through San Fran by Mafiosos in Dodge Chargers.
This is chased through Winchester by Mexicans in Honda Civics.
Bullitt 'stang, green. Driven by Steve McQueen.
This? Single stage red (same color as my old Nighthawk), driven by...YOU? I mean, you're no Steve McQueen but I bet you could make it work.
So here's the scoop:
1966 Ford Mustang Coupe.
Originally 6 Cylinders, now with a built late model 5.0, bored .030 over for 306 Cubic Inches
-eagle forged rods
-stock crank
-Speedpro forged pistons
-Speedpro rings
-comp cams .512/.512 lift 280 degrees duration
-Comp Cams roller lifters
-Comp Cams valve springs
-Comp Cams pushrods
-Crane Cams spring retainers and keepers
Ford 9" Rear end
4 Speed manual
Unibody-up resto, not that the chassis had much cancer to begin with. Build pics available.
Probably could use a tune on the Dyno, but it runs pretty good.
Shitty pics, better ones forthcoming.
I'm letting MM & Associates take first crack at this. It's my Father In Law's, and he's got project fatigue from building this thing. He'd LIKE to get $8000USD for it, so if you know anyone who'd be interested, let me know. As I gather better pictures and more detailed information, I'm probably going to put it on Craigslist, then Ebay.

After the TT had been fully washed once using the 2-bucket method, areas pre-treated with Tarminator, Zep citrus left on to dwell and strip the present LSP (wax), rinsed, clayed, and fully washed again using the 2-bucket method.......it was then blown dry and brought into the shade to be taped up in preparation for the polishing process.

Correction process:
- The car being a very light silver (and the detail being performed outside) couldn't allow me to get adequate before and afters under the halogens of the correction process, so, I stuck with photographing the black top which was the only area visible.

Hey guys,
So thanks to that car future thread it motivated me to look around and I am now just paperwork and waiting on mitsubishi away from securing a black 2011 Evo X GSR. Barring any unforseen circumstances that is.
Anyway my situation is as follows. As much as i don't want to i have no choice but to sell the RA with the black Enkeis on it. i have the stock wheels with Blizzacks on them in the garage, specs as follows:
18x7 (215s on them)
+46 offset
The evo comes with the following:
18x8.5 Enkeis
+38 offset
Yokohama last you 2k mile summer tires
Clearly i don't want to be driving around in North East winter with the Yokohamas. I also don't want to spend 700ish on tires that fit the stock Evo wheels. So i figured i will just use the stock RA wheels on the Evo. I figure they won't clear the rotors on the Evo so it leads me to spacers. I guess i'm just looking for a general how it works, i asked on EvoM and no one there has done this and they mentioned cutting and longer bolts and i figured it'd be easier just to talk with you guys who may (?) have more patience with me as newb.

Can my jeep haul this trailer?
The guy that I am renting the trailer from keeps saying "As long as you have a class 3 hitch you're good to go"
Well, my jeep has a 2" receiver, and my hitch specifically has stamped on it 5,000lb, which is class 3, right?

It'll be at 350 University Boulevard and is slated to open early next year (would be great if by spring semester). It just popped up in the local Harrisonburg paper...but you have to have a subscription to view it online so I didn't bother posting a link.

Pelican part just e-mailed me with a code to save $20 on an order of $250 or more. It is good until Sep 3 or something like that. I have no plans on buying anything from Pelican anytime seen so does anybody want this. It's not for sale, I just didn't know where to put it. If you want it, it yours. I am not charging anyone for it but it's only good for one person.
