2000 Mustang GT Coupe (track car)

2000 Mustang GT Coupe for sale.
105k 5-speed 4.6 v8
Used for NASA and SCCA track and auto-x events

I'm selling my car. It's a great car in most respects, but I'm just not having as much fun as I used to with it and can't justify keeping it. It needs a bit of maintenance that I'm not interested in performing mostly because I don't have a garage (see ugly section).

This is a good car for someone looking for a track car, possibly something to build into an AI car, adjust to be competitive in time trails, or part out.

-1 set has worn street tires
-1 set has worn r-comps​

-The engine has had 4(?) spark plug holes fixed with timeserts (kit included)
-Needs front bearing/hubs replaced (parts included)
-Windshield washers squirts don't work
-HVAC doesn't blow cool air, AC works great though. (There is a door in the HVAC controls that apparently failed)
-Steering wheel not aligned straight, bumpsteer out of adjustment - needs alighnment
-My bumper was stolen. I'm missing a trim piece from the front. It's purchased, but on backorder.
-I'm the mechanic. I'm not a great mechanic.​

The ugly:

-The car has 8 years of outdoor city living under it's belt. The body panels need some loving. Just about every panel has a nick or scrape....expect the front bumper, that's new.
-The engine has a ticking noise in the #8(?) cylinder. It might be nothing, it might be a bent valve, it might be terminal. I haven't been able to investigate because I don't have the garage space. The engine runs fine, but this warrants concern.​

Spares (I need to double check these)

-1 bilstein 03 Cobra strut
-2 sets front springs (425, 325lb/in ???)
-1 set rear springs
-1 new front caliper, one used (side specific)

Rearend - The torsen rearend is no good for drag racing. They don't take well to shocks and may distribute the power irratically in low grip situations (power will swing from left to right to left).

Rollbar - Do I want to spend an afternoon removing my jungle gym, wiggling it out of the car, and leaving the car with 16 holes in the floor just for $300...No.

that is an awesome deal for someone who is looking to do a little extra work. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I didn't already have my own heap to deal with.

Sold to some guy from Iowa!

The car didn't need any immediate work. It drove and performed fine. I've driven it at an open track event and done long drives with the noise . You just need to be aware it's there and either fix it or runner her till the source of the noise makes itself evident. Worst case scenario, you buy a $1500 ebay motor.

Was it breaking the sound barrier in the first pic?

2v's can do it w/o afterburners, but Ford screwed up the trans sonic aerodynamics. It gets a bit dicey.

That's actually a R-comp hydroplanning test. I have no idea why water is coming up ahead of me. I think it was because I was driving so hard (NASA joke). It the test failed 6 corners as I realized the water on the track was getting to deep to drive on. I slowed down, but slid a good 300 meters off the track. 2 stuck trucks and a half hour later, a farm truck pulled me out. Not all "off road" tires are created equal.
