Decided to actively sell it now. Here's the deal. NO TRADES. I need to sell it asap, and to do this I'm going to let it go cheap. How cheap? $8500 for EVERYTHING, not a single penny less. I'm legitimately about $17k into the car right now so this is a steal. The motor/blower/computer are worth that. That price includes, the car, with everything you see listed, welds and all, and a bunch of parts I have lying around. A spare set of pony wheels w/center caps, the original seats, a barely used set of 3:55's, a MINT 93 steering wheel & column(planned on making it look like a 93 interior), new radio gauge bezel for the cd player & 3 gauges, and a few odds & ends.
Car is running right now and is driveable but it's been sitting for over a year so it's filthy and it needs to be run for a while to clean it out. I don't have it registered/insured currently and don't really plan to because I just want it gone. For what I'm asking you could part it out and make another $3k+ easy. It's easily a 10 second car, and the motor setup proved this in the car it used to be in. The motor combo was put together and run 7x down the track, backed by a built AOD, 4400 converter and 3:73's, it ran consistant 10.6-10.7 with a best of 10.49@129. Motor dyno'd a very conservative 500rwhp. Mechanically the car doesn't need much but a refresh. I'd maybe put wires on it, change the plugs and fluids and you're good. Body is 6.5-7 out of 10. It's fairly straight, no major rot, 2 rust spots on the entire car and not major, 1 under the driver's door, 1 small one at the top rear of the roof. It will clean up nice just needs some mild TLC. All mods have around 8-10k miles MAX on them, and that's being VERY generous. Trans is new and shifts absolutely flawless. It's a bit underpowered for the motor in all honesty, but you could street it fine like this, or yank it & sell it while it's still young and throw in an AOD...it'll destroy most anything you run into!!
If interested call me, I probably won't see PM's as I'm not here often. Matt - 848-250-3006. Car's in central NJ. Clean & clear title in hand.
88 LX hatch, original 5.0 5sp car, Cosmetically it's not mint, it's definately not in bad shape though, no rot or anything, floors are 100% SOLID, there's the small rust spot at the top back of the roof and 1 under the driver's door, that's it. Bunch of small rock chips in the front bumper, small spot on the hood. Mechanically it's good to go. Car has weld drag lites, slicks & skinnies, I just bought them for the car 6 months back used, also has pony wheels w/good front tires & bald drag radials, have stock seats to go with it and a few odds & ends.
All mods have about 8k miles on them MAX and most haven’t seen full throttle at all. Motor's seen very little track time, drivetrain hasn't seen ANY. I unfortunately never got to enjoy the car much. Many parts are only 500 miles old. Mechanically it's basically been restored. Paint is 7 out of 10, it was done in 99 but still shines up nice, few rust bubbles but nothing bad.
It put down a legit 500rwhp with 3lbs more boost at Crazy Horse in South Amboy, NJ and this was the BARELY-TUNED run! I dropped the boost to try and make it more usable on the street. It's got a decent tune right now, (done by Job Spetter Jr. of Turbo People). All mods have at most 8k miles on them, many have way less, as is I've sunk well over $6000 in the car this past 2 years. With a nice drag suspension kit and a built AOD this would be a low 10 car EASY. Motor's been 10.6 consistent in the built AOD Notch it came from with a much more restrictive intake setup and a so/so tune. Now everything’s port matched and tuned right, so it’d be faster!
-Motor consists of a virgin 27,000 original mile 93 stock short block(all mods were added at 23k orig miles), entire motor/computer/fuel system were taken from a mid 10 second full caged notch. The motor was running mid 10's at 129mph in the notch, and that's before a lot of what's done now(since then all the following was done: all new ignition components, new upper/lower intake w/spacer, bigger throttle body/spacer, bigger injectors, better fuel pump, new computer and tune.

Newest pics, took them today with my cell. Sorry for the quality but the cell is the only working camera I own at the moment.
And here are a few older pics. Condition wise not much has changed interior wise and motor wise. The motor's all black now. I had the upper intake/TB/blower tubes/radiator shroud powdercoated black(not paint, ACTUAL powdercoat). It's dirty as hell from sitting obviously. I just got the interior back together, everything's the same I just replaced the grey carpet with black. Interior basically looks restored. Body wise it'll still shine up almost this nice, just a little more wear, which the price more than makes up for. If you clean it up good it'll look perfectly fine.
Obviously the Cobra R's are gone now. Has the drag lites & comes with the pony wheels as well.
