Hey everyone, been awhile since I posted here, but Mike gave me a call about this car. I owned this car back in 2007 or 08 if I remember correctly. My buddy rich found it parked at work by an office in an industrial area, I went and looked at it and ended up buying it. The trans was shot (one of the gears was shot) and the a/c was inop but other than that the car was pretty good. The guy I bought it from said he bought it from the auction and drove it from Williston, Fl. to work in the NW area of Gainesville 5 days a week, never raced, etc. Just a driver. When I got it the car was around 200,000 miles. He sold it because he got another driver cheaper for less than a trans. I took it home, stripped the interior out and the front clip. The front bumper and one fender were weathered from all the miles. My buddy painted them to match off the car. I detailed the interior, and installed new carpet. The rear package shelf had fade marks from a set of Dash Masters and the wiring that ran over the deck. some other holes on the dash that I don't remember specifically. I installed anew water pump, radiator and some other thing like headlights (aftermarket, not FoMoCo). Put the clip back on after photographing the buck tags, displayed on this site. Car ran great except the trans issue. No knocking or overheating with the engine. I really looked this car over and will say there was no sign whatsoever of any collision damage or issues underneath the car. I tracked straight, etc. down the road. It had all the Ford body panel stickers on it when I bought it also.
This is just what I know from then, below are pics I found from when I had it.
