Hmmm, all I see is one photo of a rear end with an aluminum cover, bright red donor control arms and coil springs? Might want to check your photo link and add some build details.
Fantastic pictures, great write up which will get him plenty of free advertising all over the automotive forums for his wit. However, he calls it a MK II in the questions asked, when in fact with it's 1,700 range serial number makes it a MK I, no real mention of the other details (IE: which suspension (besides a stock 4 link with coil springs), what brakes front and rear, what has he done to the engine besides the supercharger, etc). Again beautiful pictures, but it may not be enough to get the car sold for 30K+. I do wish him the very best of luck though and wish I had his skills for taking photographs.

I was thinking the same thing.
Looks like a MKI donor build.
Great description and some of the questions seem to play along with the entertainment value of the ad- but....
In one answer to a question, it says the motor is out of a 73 and in another answer it is out of a 94 Mustang? Which is it?

Well, the answers to the questions were from the original owner. He told me the engine was out of a 73 but then he confirmed that it was from an 04. He also told me it was an MKII but I am now learning from the comments that it is an MKI. I honestly bought it to make a quick buck. Can anyone tell me about the air bag suspension?
When you are selling, you want to make sure you have all the details, for no matter how much fluff you have, no matter how witty the description, it is the facts that sell the car for what it is, not for what it is not.

PS: It also helps (and I am not accusing anyone) to NOT have your friends "help you" by bidding on it unless they plan to buy it.

Instead of being part of the problem, why not be a part of a successful and positive solution.
I try to be as honest as I can, hence the reason why I gave two different engine references. Honestly I don’t know anything about the car so alot of the questions I am answering come from people in this post. I also post questions to answers on the listing, if they are appropriate and do not contain personal information. Don’t need to try and boost the price, (a manly man does not need to boost the price). Ultimately the car will sell for what it’s worth, I actually have had a lot of people in Miami ask questions. I had 197 watchers before it was removed by eBay on error. Worst come to worst I spoke to someone at a high end dealer and they are willing to take the car on consignment. They will probably inflate the price to double but what do I care so long as I make a profit.
So with this said if anyone can help me with more information to help me better sell the car it would be greatly appreciate it.
The front brakes look like 95+ cobra. And it also looks to be a mostly donor build, not that that is a bad thing. Unless you're always moving or live where temps don't go above 65*, that radiator fan should have a shroud.
Nice car.

If you didn't build it, you can't brag about it. Just sayin'.
Those really are some great pictures, what camera equipment did you use to take them?
Might have an overseas client interested.....
Do you have the build binder for the car that came with it when you bought it as I need the actual build details on the car for him?

The pictures were not taken by me. They were taken by the previous owner and recent. I don’t know what camera he used but I use a nikon D300. I have a couple of people interested in the car, someone has already actually PayPal me a deposit of $500 even before the auction ends for an undisclosed sales price. I told him I wouldn’t remove the ad until all demands are satisfied deposite being one of them. I am hoping that he can secure funds by the end of this week or beginning of next. Either or i will keep you posted..
