Mine was the same minus awd and cold weather. The guy I sold it to complained about the lack of options

No—too far away and I don’t think I’d want to buy an engine swapped car without seeing it. But I’m curious about the swap, which apparently is fairly straightforward but also cost 10k without the engine.

Back when I was in HS and the Mustang we got was 'brand new' to us - I used to give my dad a bad time about "Why didn't we get a 500KR? All we got was the 'GT'..." LOL
I was joking, but back in the late 70's - these cars were just plain CHEAP. My dad paid $2,200 for the Mustang in 1979 The Shelby like this was ~$4,000 or so... Not much different in the grand scheme of things, but.... still 'double' is double. I figure the Mustang is worth (as a fully restored car) about $55k. The Shelby is (as shown by the auction above) north of $200k. LOL Hindsight is wonderful. LOL

Nick, is there an E21 shaped hole in your garage? Before you say no...

Edit... listing says it's a Metric Mechanic 3.8L? I couldn't find that engine on their site. I assume it's M30-based and it's maybe the 3.7L they offer? Last edited by John V; 04-26-2021 at 01:30 PM. |
