This is gonna be a strange sell thread. Cross talk, and derailments are welcome and even encouraged in this one.
The deal......
My grandson Jonathan, AKA The Bubba, has found a car he wants to buy. A friend of mine has it......and the price is very good. A '95 Ford Mustang for $400.00
The good......it's a straight, rust free car that runs.
The bad......no title, or keys.
My friend Lowell buys impound yard stuff, and parks it in his junkyard. This one is no different.....except that it's not been touched yet. Jonathan is very interested in hot rods, and drag racing. Must be in his DNA, I raced for many years when I was younger, and have encouraged the kid to be a gearhead. . He wants to take this Mustang, and make a drag car out of it. Not only am I glad to see his interest, I'm looking forward to helping. That bring us to the point of this thread.
Once a deal was struck to buy the car, I informed Jon that he had ten days to find a way to pay the man. Of course, he said he'd sell some of his saws to buy the car.....but I made him a deal on some parts that he could use to build a saw to sell rather than give up his collection.....
So.......he's building an MS440
It will have some aftermarket parts. The cases, fuel tank, covers, and muffler will all be aftermarket. These parts are all new.
The bearings, crank, seals, gaskets, piston, cylinder, intake, carb, impulse line, fuel line, filter, coil, plug wire, flywheel, clutch, clutch drum, master control lever, and switch will be OEM......most are used. Of course the seals, and gaskets will be new......as will the fuel line....etc.
The badges will be OEM, and the covers will be dyed black.
It is also ported......cut squish, bridge ports, timing advance, muffler mod, etc.
Here's some pics of an 044 Jon and I built a few weeks ago. This is what the saw will look like, but it will have more new parts, and be a flippy cap saw.
So.......who's interested?
