Not bad, but it isn't a $25K truck. Great start and not a daily with manual drum brakes with that motor and trans setup.

I appreciate the Mustang H.O. EFI and AOD installed. If he's got it set up correctly. On the Fox chassis Mustangs the PCM,Injectors, and Mass Air Flow Meter had to be calibrated together. Set up for the stock 19# injectors, 24#, 30#, etc. If not there would be idle and drivability problems. He prolly has a chip or programmer in the PCM. But how well did he program it? While on a dyno? That air intake duct work and the Mass Air Flow Meter body look bigger than stock for a Mustang to me. That makes me wonder which M/A sensor it's got. And if it's reading the air flow correctly. Which injectors? In tank electric fuel pump or frame mounted? How many LPH does that fuel pump flow? Production Fox Mustangs came with a pump that was 88 LPH. And that was just barely sufficient for the stock 225 H.P motor. REVing high though. But that was in a light Mustang. Not a heavy Bump.
And last, while a nice truck, if he thinks that truck is worth $25,000, he better take a stroll around the Kingdom here. And check out all the Super Nice Rigs that are here.

For $25 grand, it should at least have discs on the front, power brakes, A/C and the engine compartment should be clean. This truck is way over priced.

A lot of guys don't seem to understand that they will never get their investment back out of something like this. Shoot, I would be surprised if he had half his asking price in it.

My truck is worth a lot more to me than anybody else would be willing to give me for it.

I saw that one. I hate seeing the 5.0 badge on anything but a mustang and the color matched grill is just wrong.

Although unique, I knew this post would get a rise. Interesting to hear the comments but yes, price is way out of line for basically a one of a kind hot rod.

But it looks good and in Big D to some that's all that matters.

He might have a pretty penny in the paint job. It does look like good paint. Still, 25 grand? No.

I'm not against the truck. I just don't think you're getting the amount of truck for the size of money being asked for it.

Especially for a "basically stock" 302. He doesn't even have any money in the motor.

No kidding! You could put $10,000 in one heck of a motor. Then $15,000 for a 3 stage paint job and ghost flames. Candy Dark Black Cheery clear coat? Mustang Mystic paint?
