Default A very sad day for Turbostang and family :(

Well a buyer finally came through with the funds to make a deal finally happen.The whole time she was for sale I was kind of like it will never sell in these rough times so this day was never feared.Well I guess I was wrong and though I have let go of some pretty sick cars this one hit home.I guess because the kids are getting older and there love for mustangs is getting bigger.So not only does it hurt dad,but you could see it on my boys face to



He she is after her finally bath.








And on her last voyage

doesn't it suck to watch your car go? I sat in my front lawn and stared at my WS6 on their trailer right before they took it away. Sad day.

I wish it could stay local but unfortunately is was an out of town buyer,but he promise to keep me updated on where he goes with the car

As for the fox.It has 2 months to get turbo'd and caged for the Ford Nationals,but Im glad I dont have to make 800hp like the Mach since the fox is much lighter

The Not gettin called out anymore after posting the dyno graph had alot to do with it
But honestly it was a fun and brutal project that took 2 years to finally complete,and it was more about the journey.After the journey was complete it was on to the next project.I just picked up another coupe and have some plans for this one (Like living up to my name Turbostang),but im sure this one will turn out like all the others.Built to run then get bored,Sell it and do it all over again

Cool deal. That is a nice price for it. I don't think I would sell mine for any less then that if I had to sell it. I have way too much time and money into this car. Good luck with the fox. So what are the plans for it? How big a turbo you putting on?
