Default 2001 Formula

2001 Formula with 128k on the chassis and 27k on the motor. I have been driving the car for the past few days and it runs and drives great. A/C works but it takes a little while for it to get cold and the heater works awesome. Rims do have some curb rash and the tires are in fair shape. There is chips in the paint on the front bumper from rocks/people hitting curbs. Other than that the car is pretty clean for the mileage and age.

It has headers and true duels dumped over the axles. The car sounds awesome, not too loud while cruising around but when you get on it, it will draw some attention.

I bought this car last week because I wanted the motor for another car. The motor that is in this car came out of my 2002 WS6 that only has 27k on it. I have pictures of both cars on the lifts showing the motors were swapped.

$6,500.00obo

I'm not sure where he bought it.

Its the car that was bought and when he got home the motor had bad main bearings. I changed the crank and bearings in the motor. There is a thread in the texas section about it...

Since then I pulled the motor and put it in my WS6. The motor in this car only has 27k and untouched from the factory.

Yes, I swapped motors. My car was 100% stock and this motor already had everything on it. Since I put the crank in the motor I knew it was good and the crank/bearings only had 1k on them.

I'm just going to leave the WS6 as a heads and cam car. I really do not ned a fast car but where is it now it will keep up with most cars on the street.

Bump for a good guy. Just more info, It has NEW brass gears in the headlight motors. I done them myself so they are right. Also NEW power antenna (complete assembly is new) and New parklights in the front bumper. Tailights have no moisture in them, T-Tops don't leak. That's all I can think of for now.

Thanks Jeff, I have someone coming down tomorrow to look at it.

Times are getting really tough for selling cars. A few years ago this car would have been gone in less than a day...

Now that I got the WS6 running good, I will have to make one of the meets to check out your New"ish" toy.
