I need a place to sleep....

Going to pickup a car?

Possibly this one.

I hate to sell this car but I am looking to start a few project so a few of the toys have to go. Price: 17.5k (EDIT BY MOD: DOWN TO 16K per Seller on last page, please look for additional information all the way to the end)

This car is one of a kind car and in very good condition. First of all it has a motor pushing about 500 hp at the crank and is capable of much more with a bigger blower. The car rides and handles very well, It absolutely is a torque monster. Everything is installed and finished with top notch quality; every part of the car has an OEM type appearance. The car literally drives like a new car. The paint is not perfect but it is in very good overall condition. I just clay bared the car and polished the car with the Meguiers step 1, step 2, and show car glaze. Then I waxed the car and it looks excellent! The paint feels like glass. You would NEVER believe this car is eleven years old! The carpets have been recently steam cleaned along with a full car detail. This is a completely rust and salt free car. The car makes an absolute amazing daily summer driver or a weekend warrior. I have NEVER had a problem with it, just get in and drive it. I have never drag raced it so don’t ask the ¼ time. IT NEEDS NOTHING! I just went to the Carlisle PA all Ford Nationals and took first place in the Mark VIII class along with “Best Motor”. I averaged 24.5 MPG on the 400 mile trip down. The AC blows cold even in the 100 heat at Carlisle! Normal driving (read- light foot) with a 50/50 mix of city and highway driving I average 17-19 mpg. What more can you ask, reliable, FAST, and still not a gas hog!

The stereo has recently been upgraded with a 6.1 inch Pioneer touch screen DVD player. It looks like the car came with it! The headlights look absolutely brand new also. I have been slowly replacing many of the interior parts including the drivers door armrest and the center console lid. This car is not showing its age. I will also include a matching rear seat skin so you can have the drivers seat re-upholstered with matching oem leather.

The car has been tuned by Lidio at alternative automotive. It drives excellent and idles well. When the motor is completely cold it needs a few minutes of idling to warm up, I have also installed a 250W oil pan heater so you can minimize warm up time.

I have recently flushed the trans with synthetic Mercon V and replaced the filter. I have always changed the oil every 2k-3k miles with synthetic oil.

In the past few months I have literally spent MANY hours preparing the car for Carlisle. I have spent a few thousand dollars this spring alone on the new stereo headunit, subframe bracing, billetflow diff brace, Passport SRX radar detector and laser jammer, trans flush, new brakes, flushed the blower oil, new interior parts and many other things. I HATE to see this car go but I need to fund another project!! Serious inquiries only, I don’t want tire kickers!

How many miles do you plan on driving a day. Also, on this route remain aware of the weather on I80 across the cascades, Auburn CA to Reno NV. If it snows any amount at all, Caldot will put the chain law into effect.
 
Party at Eric's house... :D :D :D :D :D

You can crash with me if you want to drive even further east... :p
 
Well, if you stay south all the way towards NYC on I80 i am about 40 mins south of I80 in NJ and just over an hour from NYC. You could crash here.
 
If I were still living as a child in upstate NY, I would have, but as I am now 400 miles south you'd have to run the southern route! Then you could have a mobile motel all to yourself! You should get your revised map in your mail!


Oh-oh....you must have changed your email.......

You know you're coming here. I want to drive that thing one last time before it goes west for good.
 
It looks like you will be going a little north of me, Im in Peoria, IL, but I have a spare bed if you need it. If you do pm me and ill give you the address.
 
I would definitely check the weather forecast and take the southern route if necessary.

If you find yourself anywhere near WV, let me know. :D
 
jesse are you driving there and driving back, or flying there and driving back? massachusetts from cali wowzer dude, serious road trip. if i still lived in mass we would have to meet in person, anyone who has shaken eric estrada's hand is totally cool in my book!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got a spare bed if you wanted to go a couple miles out of the way lol, while you are sleeping, i'll have that mark in my shop pulling the motor, you'll go all the way back to cali with a plain 4.6 in it lol!
 
If you drive down to Houston TX. I have a bed you can stay in but you will have to fight the cat for it.
 
You better visit me, I visited you when I was in California.:D

Seriously, I live a quick 30 miles north of Toledo, up I-75.

I've got a great guest room, if you don't mind a few stored chrome bumpers and wheels (ask Beerdog, he stayed there at the last Michigan meet :D).

I'm sure we can get the rest of the Michigan crew over to welcome you and your car too.:)
 
You could stay with me but you would have to swim.

Or take the boat, whatever...

You really taking that car away from the East coast?

its the best thing that could ever happen to that car. unless you like taking off lug nuts with a torch and failing state inspection because of rot holes in the rockers. the marks i took apart in mass i didnt need a tool box, all we used were torches, tools dont work! that car will be thrilled to reside in cali!!

Don't worry it looks like a Florida car underneath. I don't think it's ever been driven in the winter! :)
 
Wow...you guys are great! :) I thought there would be maybe one or two people. So I realized that my directions were backwards...I'd probably be flying in and driving back, thats IF I even travel over there at all. Good thinking on the snow part....I've gone over the hill on I-80 several times and its not too bad, but I wouldn't want to drive with chains on. I will have to see how things pan out. Jamie...I'm glad I'm cool in your book, haha. I not only shook hands...we freaken smashed cheeks! :eek:

Bud...changed my email?

Thanks for all the welcome beds guys....now you all got me excited! :D
