eric97srad's New Project Car
As some of you know Eric is currently deployed in Kosovo and his tore doesn't end until the end of this year. I was talking to him last week and he asked me to look out for a Fox body for him for under $5000. Well the following day I found an 89 LX listed for $3500. I called the guy and went to take a look at it. The car is in great shape inside and out and already has a bunch of bolt-ons like a 70mm BBK TB, 70mm BBK EGR spacer, BBK CAI, BBK shorty headers, BBK catted X-pipe, Flowmaster after cat exhaust, BBK subframe connectors, Eibach Sportline lowering springs and FRP 3.73 gears. The guy also has some extra stuff that hasn't been installed yet like new weather stripping for the doors, white face qauges and a gauge pod with gauges. He also has a complete extra set of rims and tires because he runs different tires in the winter than he does in the summer. We offered him $3000 and he took it. I'll be going to pick up the car tonight so I'll post some pictures up of it for Eric since he hasn't even seen His new car yet.

Every time I look at what you wrote, I'm not sure what you meant. I can usually follow your line of thought. Unfortunately, not this time.

I think he means that you can get good deals on cars right now because of the economic meltdown

Correct. Anybody with even a little cash/liquidty can pick up toys for pennies on the dollar. It even extends to big ticket new or almost new stuff. I've seen Brand New GT 500s in the 30s. I think Sean said something like 07/8 ZO6s going for $50k +-.
We're in a strange situation, a combination of deflation of prices and MASSIVE increase in the money supply. I'll give you one guess what happens when things start to pick up a little.

Guy over here has a 08 Z06 he was trying to sell. So far the only offer has been $48,000. I should have that in spare change ( well, in a perfect Brutal world ).

Here are the pictures. Sorry for the poor quality but it's dark and Amy has our good camera with her at Kath's graduation. I'll take some more tomorrow afternoon. I also have two boxes of extra parts.
