HELP I am a Craigslist junkie

"looking to get for $1200 for the car and $300 for the wheels. **stock wheels are not available**"
I guess you'd better bring wheels or $1500

"If your not a mustang person this is not for you thanks for looking"

Succinct, right?

I guess I'm not a Mustang person.

I'm one of the few people on earth that would like to do a Mustang II build someday, because it would be ironic and funny, but the auto is a deal breaker.

I typically search for 68-72 malibus, g bodies, older BOP stuff, and Buick 350 (under auto parts) using search tempest. At least once a week or so.

Sure. Until you beat the sh*t out of it. How many 12 packs did that body work take?

Ready for those icy roads.

Has 4 original miles...of being rubbed against a guard rail. No tire kickers, I know what I got.

So I log back onto my computer after my kid tells me "that jag sold" so I figured I was safe and the first car that pops up is the same 40K mile '98 XJ8 Jag, but now its $2,550 instead of $2,950. Phone Rings. Its my kid. "come on, we got to go check it out", so I take a long lunch.

Needs typical Jag suspension repairs (its all closed cell foam that only lasts 10-15 years in Texas heat) but the A/C was freezing cold, Tires near new, the Tilt/telescope/sunroof and power seats all worked and the drivetrain starts/runs/drives/feels like a 40K mile car, so I guess I own it, now.

$2,921.00 total including tax, title license and inspection. New bilsteins for the front, and some other cheap mods/fixes and it my new daily driver.

When I LS swap my other Jag (XK8) I'll have lots of spare parts to keep this one running for ever (until it needs an LS swap).

Love that Lesabre body, put it on a G RWD chassis- now we're talking.
