Yeah I got a tale for you!

How about that blue Mustang your wrapped around a fire hydrant?

Or how about that green one you got rear ended in that was full of Vodka? Your dumb ass was going to drive it home but the cop said it was leaking gas, why didnt you just tell him it was the 5 bottles of Smirnoff leaking out that had gotten busted in the trunk?

You see PowerStroker... I don't hate ALL Ford's.

Back in the 1990's Fords offered a very fine quality product for a VERY FAIR price.

$10,000-$14,000 could get you a VERY NICE, Brand NEW Mustang 5.0 LX Notchback, but gawd forbid don't pay extra for the AOD automatic transmission as they were trash. Then again the T5's werent all the great either but it usually took some modifications to exceed the horsepower in order to take them out. As such there was no real way to blame Fords for that. I smoked several AOD's in stock trim on the expressway however, then again I was driving slightly over the posted limit. Ironiclly the first AOD I blew up was trying to race a 90's SEC on the expressway, I would have had that fucker if it wouldnt have been for smoking the Overdrive band! A well known weakness on the AOD.

I should also mention that Ford's also sent me a check in the mail for an ignition module due to a recall, however that was only because they got sued in a class action suit.

Another weakness of the Fox body Mustangs were the rear control arm boxes that would seperate from the chassis, but again, this only happend when you modified them with Nitrous or excessive HP mods. Even then you had to be running wrinkle wall full on slicks to get them to seperate from the chassis, so again, nothing that Fords could be blamed for.

Now days V8 Mustangs cost what? $40,000-$60,000? Yet a well cared for 1988-1993 5.0 Mustang is worth as much or MORE than it sold for new!

I doubt the newer Mustangs (Less the very RARE ONES) will ever be able to match the re-sale value of the 1988-1993.

Check out the insane re-sale values of the old Fox Body Mustangs currently!

Keep in mind the 1989 Saleen Mustang only has a stock 302 Mustang engine @ 225HP along with the factory Borg Warner T5!

It does not have the forged DSS lower end w/ girdle, GT40 Heads and Upper Intake, Tremec TKO Transmission with scatter-proof bell housing, SVO Disc Brake Conversion Kit, South Side machine lift bars, BBK headers with Flowmaster Exhaust, or the Motorsport 3:73 rear end!

It's just a plain Jane LX convertible fox body with some stickers, suspension kit and rims!

Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful car, and it has pedigree with the Steve Saleen name and numbered plaque... and in the collectors world, well -- them folks are the kind of people who don't fu@k their girlfriend so they can keep them tighter for the next guy!

You can see it's pretty clean in that video... but to be honest, I like mine better!

Even just the regular GT's and the LX Notch and Convertibles are fetching $20,000 - $30,000!

You see people with brand new cars that cost upwards of $80,000 - $100,000 but you know MANY of these regular base models will be worth HALF that or less in six or seven years! While the classics typically tend to only go up in value!

So there you have it...

Rastus · UNSTOPPABLE!

Wow !!!

You can sell the car & lose around 1/2 of the debt that Genocide Joe provided for you !

Now that's a gift your friend who passed-on would like to see you acquire I'd guess...

Hint, hint...

I've thought about it on occasion... but the truth is, what people ask for a vehicle -- and what they get are two different things entirely.

No doubt the low mile Saleen in the advertisement at $65,000 is not representative of what kind of money I'd see for mine.

That being said, I should have enough old Mercedes parts and other such automotive stuff to sell laying around to clear well over $65,000+ if it were all properly listed.

I did once list it for $18,000 the first year I bought it to appease the wife... I had a lot of watchers, but it killed me to see it on the block! Now days, I'd have to have $28,000 or it's just not worth parting with it! I'd never be able to buy this car with all the bolt ons again.

It would be one of them cars that when I sold it, I'd be kicking myself every time I seen one. Also it's almost $100 to list a vehicle for sale on eBay now days -- I really don't feel like wasting $100 to torture myself for 30 days.

Best bet would be getting myself listing 10 items of no importance a day -- every day, for a whole year. I have LOTS and LOTS of inventory! I'd guess it to be well over $100,000 worth, if listed properly and if we're including the cars.

I keep making excuses because I have regular jobs to do, or I have home improvements going on -- or because it's hard to import and change file types to use on eBay and other listing sites... but the bottom line is I have to start getting rid of some of this stuff! If only because I could use the space.
