SOLD!! - 1992 Mustang LX Notch - Calypso - 347 c.i. - 5-speed

SOLD!!

Well, after owning this car for the last 2 years and only putting ~3K miles on it, it's time to move it into someone else's garage. I have for sale my 1992 Calypso Notchback Mustang.

The highlights are listed below:
  • '92 Calypso Notch (rust-free)
  • 347 c.i., EFI (Mexican block)
  • Tremec TR3550
  • Spec Stage 3 clutch
  • 126k on the chassis
  • ~6K (claimed) on the motor/trans
  • Edelbrock heads
  • Trickflow intake
  • Custom cam (specs provided to buyer)
  • MSD ignition
  • 130 amp alternator
  • 75mm throttle body
  • 8.8 rear end, Eaton posi w/4.10 gear
  • 31 Spline axles
  • Adjustable upper control arms / solid lowers
  • Eibach drag launch springs w/air bag in right rear
  • 6 point cage
  • Rear seat delete
  • Car spent most of it's life in Virginia and then Maryland. Has been in MI for ~4 years, and always garaged.
  • All the work was performed 2 owners ago by Anderson performance in Baltimore, MD
  • Have receipts from engine build and most parts
  • Originally a 5.0/auto, Black interior car
  • No signs of accidents
  • Straight body and no rust
  • New-ish Nitto NT05r Drag Radials (~1K street miles)


Cons:
  • Rear main seal leaks slightly
  • Monster Tachometer isn't functioning (either MSD 6AL ignition, or tach)
  • Car was re-painted ~7 years ago and isn't show car quality. Car looks very good, no rust, but the paint shows blemished up close. I'd rate it an 8/10
  • No A/C
  • Car has a small lien on it. Any sale would have to be conducted at the financial institution, or a day turn around time to remove the lien on the vehicle.
  • No trades at this time


I'm sure there are a slew of things I'm missing. I haven't done ANYTHING to the car outside of putting in gas, changing the oil, and replacing the starter solenoid. The limited miles I've put on the car have been very, very fun. But, I'm obviously not driving it very often. I've tried to write this advertisement as accurately as possible. I'm not desperate to sell the car by any means, but I am some-what flexible on price. Feel free to post here (or PM me for quicker response) with any questions and I'll do my best to answer any questions. Thanks for looking!

Any idea on comp ratio?

I was told the stroker kit was the standard 10:1 Eagle kit. It's always been run on 93 octane.

Thanks for the all the positive comments, guys! It's a nice, solid street cruiser. Also, I updated the listing to include some more items I remembered.
 
Aint that the truth, two toys/project cars always seems like a good idea but it never works out that way (at least with my budget)

I need to stop looking at this thread before I end up going against that thought process.

Have you had a serious interest or cash offers on it yet?

That's the goal. Well, the Lincoln and part of the upcoming wedding. :D

I think it'll be easier to focus on one NON-running project car (Lincoln) when the other running project car (Mustang) is out of the equation. :lol:

:lol: I hear ya....wish I had never-ending funds, garage space and free time.

As for your question, I've really only had one interested party. I had the car up for sale locally (i.e., at the bottom of my driveway with a FS on it) before I posted it online. A guy in the neighborhood was very interested, but came in a little low on his offer. I decided to post it up here and Xceed and give it a couple weeks. I've had a couple people interested from both sites, but no real offers thrown out yet. If there's still no serious interest, CL and maybe eBay are the next moves. I'd really like to avoid dealing with that mess, though.
