I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2005, I AM THE SECOND OWNER, IT HAD 7759K MILES ON THE ODOMETER THEN. CURRENT READING IS JUST OVER 52,xxx. SHE’S NEVER BEEN RUN AT ANY TYPE OF TRACK. SHE IS NOT “A MINT SHOWCAR” BUT SHE IS NOWHERE CLOSE BEING DEEMED A “BEATER” EITHER. SHE HAS BEEN A DAILY DRIVEN STREET CAR. HAS BEEN GARAGED MOST OF HER LIFE, BUT SHE HAS SEEN RAIN, SNOW, AND ICE
THE STORY: I HAD ALWAYS HAD THE OIL CHANGED EVERY 2K-3K MILES, BUT RECENTLY MY MOM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN UN-CURABLE BRAIN DISEASE IN THE DYMENSIA GROUP. DUE TO THAT, AND LIFE GOING ON, MY BRAIN FORGOT TO TELL ME TO CHANGE THE OIL ON HER. I WENT FOR AROUND 8K MILES WITHOUT AN OIL CHANGE. THIS CAUSED A LOSS OF OIL (SHE’S NEVER HAD ANY LEAKS OF ANY KIND, EVER) TO THE POINT WHERE THE LIFTERS RUBBED. I HAD HER FLUSHED AND TOPPED OFF BY MY FORD DEALERSHIP, ONLY TO FIND THAT THE DAMAGE WAS DONE. ON THE FLUSH OF THE OLD OIL, NO METAL SHAVINGS CAME OUT, BUT THE OIL DID HAVE A NICE METALLIC SHEEN TO IT. ACCORDING TO THE TECH AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP (AND OTHERS LOCALLY AND ON FORUMS AGREED) THE CAM ASSEMBLY IS TOAST (JOURNALS NEED TO BE WELDED) AND POSSIBLY THE HEADS TOO. LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR: I AM NOT A MECHANIC. I CANNOT TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT IS DAMAGED AND WHAT IS NOT. THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN TORN DOWN ENOUGH TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED, SO THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE OVERHAULED OR REPLACED WITH ANOTHER ONE.
MY REASON FOR THE SALE: I WAS GOING TO DROP IN AN ALUMINATOR 8:5 AND ADD A WHIPPLE 2.9, WITH A D&D MAGNUM T56, AND THE WHOLE NINE YARDS, BUT FELL INTO A GOOD DEAL WITH AN 03 COBRA. SO SHE MUST GO. BUYER WILL NEED TO HAVE HER TOWED/HAULED/SHIPPED, AS SHE DOES NOT RUN
