"Oh and at 80k the engine is just run in!" is nice to hear

Some reckon it needs at least 60k to loosen up fully!

I reckon my engine was ran in in the 90's and at 120,000 runs better than it ever has.

If you have a scan through the American mustang forums there are guys putting blowers on cars with 120 - 140,000 on them, but you will see they blow a lot of engines probably by revving too high, they seem to rev 6,500+ regularly!

Where is it?

Thought the red one was North of 13K...

It might be. I couldnt find the link. But if it hasnt sold yet someone may get it for 12 to 13k.

Im not keen on the alloys but thats easily sorted. Its been listed for 7 days now so may have gone at that price. I suppose it could be someones from here?

looks like Vin #073. Looks nice

Wheels look like proper Apex's to me, but a non standard colour.

We have done cars with more than 80K miles but did give them a leak down and oil pressure check first. We have had no problems with any of them. These engines are good for very high mileages.

Great. Im looking for a 260 for around the 5k mark so i know im not going to be able to get a spring chicken. Then its going to be a matter of saving for the supercharger. I think the car deserves it

Ive only just managed to persuade the girlfriend that the V8 is a good idea... Im keeping the supercharger under my hat for now
