This car is sold as is. It has been my pride and joy since I first got into cars. The oil and filter has been changed on the dot every 3000-4000 miles using synthetic 5w/30 Amsoil. Personal records and pictures of oil changes are available upon request with service records as well.





Now for the honest issues:



-Rear tires a bit wide-Recommend changing to 215 /45 to avoid tire rubbing

Or roll fenders

-Two modest dents on roof from transportation to
Phoenix with no damage to the moon roof

-If they want, I can have the roof repaired or I can sell it to them as is and deduct
$500 for those cosmetic repairs.



Buy it now of $18,500

which includes 18" Focus RS Rims

(unmounted w/o tires-$900 retail)

that are still in original Ford Racing box.

Also includes spare Rota Wheel ($140 value)



On a personal note I have sold my classic thirteen year old 420 SEL with over 120k on eBay to a very happy buyer in Ohio. I would love to see this car go to a happy home. Please keep that in mind. Finances are tight and a house is on the way with the family.

LMAO no one does that to a car and doesnt race it.

[beyondloadedSE]

im gonna hate to see that car go suniel. Just an fyi, Suniel holds the record for the most wheel hp on a 2.5L contour. Actually, he hasn't raced it (on a track) to my knowledge. He just got the car built and tuned a few months ago.

EDIT: 10/04/04 was when he got it finished. I just checked the original thread on contour.org.

Nice. Sounds like you guys have a lot of untapped potential on that engine. I hope the car goes to a good home as well.
