    Default 1985 Mustang GT - DECH (aka Canadian Saleen haha)

    I am thinking about selling my car. I really like it, and i have put alot of work into her, but i bought one of my drean cars and i wont really drive this much anymore.
    If someone out there wants to take it to the next level, the car really deserves it! It is one of the early DECH cars, built when DECH used Saleen parts.

    1985 Mustang GT, all origonal body panels and paint with the excpetion of the hatch, it was painted with the Saleen spoiler back in ~86. The car has 75,000KM and is in good over all shape. There is surface rust on the rear end, lower control arms, and the underside is dirty but %100 rust free and solid. Shock towers are cleaaaaan and solid.
    The interior is in excellent shape, and i will add pics of that this weekend.
    The motor runs great, the trans shifts perfect through all gears with zero grinds
    i put a lot of work into the paint and it has a great shine to it, but it is almost 30 year old ford paint. It looks great until you get to about 6-8inches away then you can see imperfections.

    Parts installed by DECH
    - ford motorsport springs
    - KONI adjustable shocks
    -front and rear sway bars (front is missing!)
    - long tube headers
    - off road exhaust with no cats
    - ford motorsports intake manifold
    - ford motorpsorts ignition
    - supposed to have a cam in it
    - supposed to have ported stock heads
    - Simmons 16x7 3 pieces wheels
    - race seat (it moves forward and back, and you can raise it up higher by undoing some bolts)
    - Saleen body kit (some wear, but overall pretty good shape!)

    New parts by me
    - calipers
    -pads
    -brake lines
    - rotors
    -front wheel bearings
    -inner tie rod ends
    -outter tie rod ends
    - lower ball joints
    - rear drums
    - rear pads
    - drum spring kit
    - wheel cyliders
    - new tires Hankook EVO 2s 225/50/16s
    - new battery
    - fresh oil
    -new hatch struts
    - PO installed a Holley 600 CFM carb last year along with some new hoses and ground strap
    -alignemnt done

    - a new heater core is included but not installed (current one by passed), and a new clutch cable too. I bought one but it doesn't really need it.
    -The temp guague sortta works, but the HVAC panel does not. Eveything else works.
    -rear wheel bearing on the drivers side starts making some noise after about 20 min of driving.
    - i think the release bearing makes noise when you push the clutch in
    - heat sheild is ratteling somewhere

    I am not sure what to ask, $10k Canadian? OBO zc911 at hotmail dot com, or PM me
    It's a pretty cool car with interesting history and some rare pieces on it. She is not costing me anything so it can hang out in the garage for a while Dont bother with 5k offers!
    I only have it advertised here for now.
    more pics and info in these links, i will post more pics this weekend
