It could be the truth, the internet is full of bad info. I mean what the heck is all the emissions stuff he could be worried about O2 sensors, air pump, hell there's very little on those things to begin with. Oh well

And once you open those circuits to the ECU it is game over.

I love this body style of Mustang more than just about anybody, but come on guys. This is ludicrous.

That is insane. And it is a 3 peddle car not an auto.

Because it is low miles I bet (1900 miles), still ridiculous. I'm pretty sure I have seen the same company advertise 20-30 year old low mile Chevy's for 25k plus (88-97 Chevy/gmc trucks). Sure they look great but anyone with a brain isn't going to pay those prices.

Clifford used to make a 4bbl intake for the 4.0... 258 intakes fit 4.0 heads with a fair bit of effort.
Once he diminishes the price price to below scrap value because he has to pay to haul it off, that's for sure a good plan. Making 300hp out of 4.6 stroker is not that hard, and if you don't have to worry about fueling... c'mon man!
I'm also with you on "what emissions?". On a Renix injected 4.0, sure, there's some crap, but on a later model it's pretty surgically clean in there. Mine has like 3 vacuum hoses.
FWIW, a buddy of mine with a lightly warmed up 4.6 stroker in an automatic XJ was pretty routinely running mid-14s with it through a stock auto with 3.55s and no tune (had a resistor on the MAF or TPS or something). That's pretty quick for a 4 door brick in the wind built on a beer budget.

That is beyond crazy over priced but I guess there are some who think it's worth the extra cabbage.

Well they are delusional. There’s only one Mustang of that era worth that could ever bring anything approaching that kind of coin. That’s the 2000 Cobra R, the rarest of the rare.

That is impressive out of a XJ that's not swapped, but the rest of this one isn't in as good of shape as they want it to be. I imagine it will set there for awhile then off to scrap yard. Or maybe they will cross paths with someone who has to have it who knows.

That's a heck of a deal compared to that Bullitt

That’s a pretty good deal if it’s legit. I’ve pretty consistently seen them for $50k-$60k over the years

It's a new day, and a new problem.
I had a older lady referred to me, she said she hired someone to fix her car after it started making noises while braking. She was then sent to me because she said the noises got louder after the guy fixed it. He told her that the new pads had to wear in
This is the front brakes, " recently fixed"
And this is the rear brakes, no word on if these were supposedly replaced. And yes that is the old fuid.

I have never seen a start like that turbo Monza vs Foxbody, interesting @12 min

Keeps the starter out of harms way. So it makes sense in that regard.

Ok fellas, looks like it may be time to upgrade my OBD scanner, I have an old Innova that's probably pushing 20y old. It's been good but out of date. I have kind of looked into some bluetooth units, definitely want something that can do ABS/SRS. Would like it to be bidirectional communication for bleeding abs units (but that may be out of my price range). Not looking to get into snap on or matco territory.
What say you guys, any experience?

The one above is the one I have. It's been really good for me. Checking check engine lights, erasing them and reading just about everything the ECU will let you. I use an app called Torque.
Here is my usual set-up. (I use an old phone for this)
Here it is reading the O2 sensors...

I've seen you mention it before, do you run the Torque lite or Torque Pro? I've seen mixed info saying the Pro does some ABS and some say it doesn't. Maybe it's model dependant? I have seen decent reviews for the Bluedriver unit also
Edit: Also curious which dongle you use?
