2008 Mustang GT500 "track" car....

You guys have all seen me acting like a nervous fool in the smoking tire one take video- and now you can own the car.

Seriously though folks- this car is the best handling Mustang I've ever driven. Sam Strano helped me out in figuring out the suspension and wheels. JBA Speed Shop did the dyno tuning to make everything work- and it does. The car is so much fun in the canyons- and despite the Kirkey seats and the cage- It's actually a good daily driver.

We did fancy injectors on it too. I've got new fancy front rotors in the box ready to be installed- DBA 4000s. I also have new Ferodo DS1.11 pads in the box read to install too.

The square tire set-up and the ST coil-overs just work.

If any of you guys here want it- I'll take $22,000 for it. I think I'm going to go a different direction with this hooligan outlaw weird-o Mustang thing. I think I'd like to get just a regular Boss 302 and I've got my eye on a couple. I just need to sell my $80,000 $20,000 car. You know?

This project is done and its awesome. The next step for me was going to be addressing the aero stuff- and probably making the interior look all fancy and nice- but as the car sits it's super fast, super crude, but also super dialed and really really fun.

Obviously you get all the stock interior stuff that came off the car. You also can get the badly curbed original wheels that came on the thing that have some Mickey Thomson drag radials on the back of them and Michelin Pilots of some persuasion on the front.

Please call or email me or respond here if you guys have any questions or interest in this thing. Yeah- I know it's an iron block 5.4 with a TVS supercharger sitting on top of it. I can tell you that I test drove a brand new GT350 and I know my car handles much better...and it's faster. :)
 
wow. it's funny i had several folks begging me to sell them my car earlier in the year and now i can't even unload it for 22k to you guys who "get" these things.....oh well. :(

here's what i gotta do i guess- 20k and its yours and i'll deliver it anywhere east of the Mississippi. Oh! almost forgot i've got a new Barton shifter uninstalled in the box. the car also has an N-Gauge....giant injectors, oh! it's also set up right now without axle backs but with the stock exhaust otherwise including cats. i'm trying to think if there is anything else i forgot- oh- i wanted to put a late model style big blade spoiler in it so i've got a new five star spoiler to that'll go with the car.....i don't have the take off 6cyl trunk lid you'll want though- but every junk yard in the world has one for cheap-

i'll remove all the decals when you buy it of course- and it will got back to its dark grey which is a great color for these cars. i had black stripes on it before the bike shop decals went on it and they looked good. if you want stripes- i can probably figure something out with that too.

someone who wants to play on the track and scare the bejesus out of themselves in the canyons- please buy it!!! i love this car so much and i don't want to keep looking at it and feeling sad. it need a new home with someone who will drive it the way it ought to be driven.

FWIW, it's very hard to sell a modified car. You have to wait to find the right buyer. From what I've seen here is most of the people either sell a full on track car or put it back to a stock(ish) (slightly modified) configuration.

My Boss was listed for 6 months and I had to take pieces and sell them individually for cheap. I even kept all my aftermarket rims and put the heavy wagon wheels back on. (The buyer preferred them).
