Pic it up John and just have the paint work fixed right. One owner car with all the history.

I thought about fixing it up right,,, it would not cost too much. But then I'd probably want to keep it after that. Or maybe I'd relist it for more.

can you explain what a Novi is? is this like nitrous injections? or just increasing the fuel pressure for better atomization?
thanks

The car has a boost gauge because I ran a 5 psi Novi 1000 for a short time. I took it off because it wouldn't pass smog.

Buyer can have the Novi...

I ran a Paxton Novi 1000 for a few months but couldn't pass the strict California smog test so I took it off. The Novi 1000 is an entry-level centrifugal belt-driven supercharger that produces 5 psi of boost. That's an increase of about 70 hp. It's a bolt-on kit and can be installed or removed in about 4 - 5 hours.

I indicated in the posting that the buyer can have the Novi kit. It should fetch about $800 because it's barely used.

thanks, I had no idea it was a supercharger...shows you how much I know about some of these modern performance upgrades. I just drove a good friend's car that is a super charged Audi S5, man that thing really scoots. The only supercharge car that I've driven in a Ford was the early Ford SHO's, but, I'm assuming thats old technology compared to the new stuff. I was always a little scared of that motor holding up with all of the additional pressure loads in the cylinders, but, I guess it did fine over time. thanks for the clarification.

Are you thinking of a the older Super Coupe T-birds? They were supercharged.
The early SHO's had a Yamaha, multi-valve six cylinder in them.

Anyway, these cars do well with a little added boost too them. You can actually squeeze more out of the Novi 1000 if need be, like any other blower.

Yeah. I remember the old SHO. It was basically a hot-rodded Taurus, and it was front wheel drive. Extra power came via a high-revving 6-cylinder engine. The Thunderbird SC had a supercharger atop a 6-cylinder.

Thanks for bringing the car over for me to see it today. It was nice to meet you and take a look at the car. If anyone has any questions on the car let me know.

Hi Mystic195,

It was a pleasure meeting with you. I'm glad I was able to show the car to a fellow forum member. I think you'll agree that this is a true low mileage car.

Not quite... Mystic195 was in Calif on business and happened to be about 25 miles away. I drove out to meet him this morning where he was staying. He's a nice guy and true car enthusiast.

I was in Burbank near him on business.

I would enjoy meeting everyone on here, someday we need to all get together at a meet... maybe the 50th year mustang event... or Fox body car show?
