Okay, for starters, this is a collector's car. It has 40,525 original
miles. The car, up until February 2013 (when I got it as a birthday
present), was 100% stock. It is about as close to "mint condition" as
you can get.
When I got the car in Feb, the first thing I did was add a pretty decent sound-system. I can't give you all the specs, but the head unit was replaced with a top-of-the-line Alpine (bluetooth, mp3, usb, phone, etc) and the speakers in the doors and back seat were replaced. A custom box and 10" (might be a 12") sub & amp were installed in the trunk. Interestingly enough, the geniuses at Best Buy (who had a blank check from me) forgot to put dash speakers in, so the dash speakers are currently disconnected. Anyway, the system sounds great. I can provide receipts for the $1700 I spent at Best Buy. Then, a few months ago, I dropped off the car at a local specialty performance shop for a tune up, and they ended up replacing the radiator with a large electric 3-core version (I think I remember this correctly), and then I asked them to move on and replace the exhaust, so they added shorty headers, high flow catalytic converter H-pipe, and Flowmaster 2-chamber mufflers. It sounds great. They also added a host of other simple "bolt-ons", like K&N filter & mass air, etc etc, but I don't remember all of this off the top of my head. The total cost was $4200. They didn't fix the brakes. I ordered a rear disc brake conversion kit, but got tired of waiting after 5 weeks and canceled that part. I would seriously recommend upgrading the brakes on the car when you get it. They work no problem, but just aren't what I would prefer. A total of 1500 Limited Edition white LX convertibles were manufactured in 1993. I can assure you that there are no more than 1499 of them in existence today, since the one i bought when I was 16 (1996) was stolen and chopped to pieces. Saddest day of my life. This car is 1 of 1056 automatics, and it is in better condition than the car I had in the '90s. But it does have a few issues that have developed since I got it: 1) the back driver's side slim window does not go up or down automatically. It can be moved up and down, and the motor still works, but I think that it jumped off track and needs to be corrected. I haven't had the time to deal with it, but again, the motor sounds to be working correctly. 2) the passenger's side electronics don't work that well. For example, you can use the switch on the driver's side door to operate the passenger windows, but you cannot operate the passenger window from the passenger seat. Again, the windows on the passenger side go up and down just fine, but not with the buttons on the passenger side. 3) the plastic molding around the driver's side interior door handle is somehow missing half of it. This is probably a few bucks to repair, but you should know about it. 4) the ash tray cover in the center console doesn't close or stay closed. Pretty standard for this car, but again, want you to know. 5) I rubbed up against the front-left bumper with my ATV and left a little rubber scuffing on the bumper. I buffed out most of it, but need a professional to get it back to normal. It's not broken at all, but could use a bit of touching up from someone that knows what they're doing. Chances are good that by the time you come by to see the car, this will be fixed, but it's a SLIGHT mark at the present moment. Otherwise, the car starts, runs, shifts, etc etc etc in near perfect condition. The top goes up and down automatically without incident, doesn't leak, isn't cracked or falling apart. Everything on this car other than stated above is original, and looks that way too. The car looks and runs like a vehicle with 40,xxx miles on it. It's really amazing to drive...it's such a little car (it was much bigger when I was 16), and it's so sporty. I get compliments on it every time I leave the driveway, and it's really something different on the road today. I'm not excited to sell it. My kids love it and I'll miss the top-down excitement this spring. But, I'm traveling quite a bit now on business out of the country and it might as well go to a new home where someone can enjoy it more than I am at the moment. Thanks for reading and safe travels! |

Mustang, Camaro, Challenger gallop onto USPS pony car postage stamp set
Tue, Jul 19 2022Some of America's most iconic cars are about to be immortalized on postage stamps. A new set by the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the the golden era of pony cars, featuring five classic examples of Detroit iron. Each one is beautifully illustrated in oil-on-canvas style, with subjects in motion and sunlight glinting off the chrome, and would add a nice touch to any first-class letter. The pony car segment was all about (relatively) small, sporty alternatives to the full-size land yachts of the 1960s. They typically came equipped with 6-cylinder engines or small-block V8s. The category was named after the Ford Mustang, henceĀ the name. Some, though, argue that the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched a couple of weeks before the Mustang, is the first. Luckily, the Falcon-based Mustang's distinct styling generated a sales sensation, or we might be calling them fish cars. Appropriately, one of the featured cars is a Mustang. But it's not just any Mustang. The 1969 Boss 302, seen here resplendent in Bright Yellow, was created for the hotly-contested SCCA Trans-Am racing series. One of its main rivals would have been the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28, also created specifically for the series, and is included in the set in Fathom Green. Representing Auburn Hills in the set is a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Plum Crazy, while Southfield's American Motors gets a nod with an AMC Javelin in Big Bad Orange. The Mustang's platform cousin, a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7, is portrayed in a gorgeous Burgundy Poly that almost looks incomplete without Neko Case on the hood. It's not the first time the USPS has honored America's rich car culture on its stamps. In 2013, it issues a series of muscle car stamps with the help of Richard Petty. That set featured a 1966 Pontiac GTO, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1970 Chevelle SS, 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda and, of course, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Another set in 2016 featured classic pickup trucks. Going further back, a 2008 release had chroed and finned automobiles of the 1950sĀ and a 2005 release featured sporty American cars of the same era. The pony car stamps will debut on August 25 at the Great American Stamp Show in Sacramento, California in partnership with theĀ American Philatelic Society. The public is free to attend the dedication ceremony, but you must RSVP first. After that, they will be available at local post offices and on line at the USPS store.
