I am taking offers on my 95 5 speed SC, I thinking about the $2500 range, but feel free to offer anything that you think is appropriate. Here are the details.
For those of you that were at the Spring Speedway Spectacular in Daytona in March of 2004, mine was the pearl white 95 5 speed there.
The car has approximatly 100k miles on it. The odometer has stopped working some of the time, I usually show about 200 miles on a tank of gas versus the 275 that I used to get, so since 98k miles it has been showing possibly 2/3 of them on the odo. I have owned this car since 42k miles. I have a car fax from a year ago someplace, or I can provide the VIN later for anyone interested.
It is pearl white exterior, gray interior with full leather. It has a moonroof. I have the factory cd player (not currently installed), the factory amp for the premium sound (not JBL) is still installed, but disconnected. The factory system worked great, but I wanted to upgrade. It currently has blaupunkt speakers all around, a blau MP72 MP3/CD player, a Sony ES series 4 channel amp (50 watt/channel RMS I think), and a 1200 watt RMS mono JBL pushing a pair of 8" JL's. I can check later as far as the model on the subs and the main speakers. Everything works, interior is in very good condition overall, some light stains on the carpet (they were there when I purchased it). Leather is good.
Exterior of the car is pretty good, usual wear on the paint on the lower ground effects from road debris. I had the bumpers repainted three years ago, they did not do an incredible job, there is some (not very noticable) spiderwebbing on the bumpers. Rear bumper lettering has black stickers added, they are in good condition. Tires are Firestone SZ50's, stock size, rears are a bit thin, fronts are excellent. Wheels have some fading on the clear coat. Now for the problems, and the reason I am thinking of selling it.
I stupidly never changed the fuel filter, it clogged, leaned out at high boost, and the motor now needs a rebuild. It still runs and drives, but it blew three sparkplugs apart, and now has low compression in cylinders 2 and 3. I have numbers for the entire engine if interested. Using compressed air, with both valves closed I get air through the intake, and if I close the throttle body I get air through the crankcase from both 2 and 3.
The transmission is fine mechanically, but shifts slowly, so it needs a set of sycros. No odd noises, no popping out of gear, so I think that it is fine otherwise. Clutch and slave cylinder was replaced at 70k miles with oem Ford parts. It also has a B&M Ripper shifter installed.
I think that if you fixed the engine and the transmission your self you could be back driving for $1500-$2000 using quality (oem or better) parts.
It has new oem hoses (all of them), I put them on at 80k miles, along with a water pump. It could use new belts. Plastic tank oem radiator was new when I purchased at 42k miles, it was crap, replaced it with an oem 90 brass tank radiator at around 80k miles. Motor has magnecor wires, and will come with a brand new set of Autolite APP2544 plugs. I have a fan on the intercooler, a BHJ steel balancer, and an EEC Tuner installed, program is by Fred. 180 degree thermostat, the tuner keeps things nice and cool (main reason I purchased it).
Motor is stock, stock blower, stock pulley. Exhaust has custom downpipes, high flow cats, and magnaflow resonator. Resonator back is stock pipes and mufflers, it is not louder than stock.
I purchased this car with a rebuilt title. This is reflected in the carfax, I don't know much about what happened other than it was wrecked badly (obviously), I think the Carfax said it happened around 28k miles or so. So take this into account.
Anyhow, I have three SC's, my 90 needs a bit of work, my 89 is a project car, and I just would rather not start working (and paying) on yet another SC right now, that is why I am selling. Also, it still runs and drives fine, so test driving is not an issue. As to driving it home, I don't think I would drive it over 50 miles, but you probably could if you were not worried about further engine damage. I can email pictures upon request, and I can answer specific questions anyone might have, just shoot me an email. It may be next week before I get back this forum as I am very busy, so email is the best way to get in contact with me. The car is located in Gainesville, FL.
