so its funny with mustang...everyone of those parts there with the exception of my original harmonic balance (which I replaced with a better original bc the timing marks were worn off of mine) you can just go buy brand new now. Well the balancer and that original cast iron intake manifold too, that is totally unique to a 67 S code mustang
78LBS!!!!!!! of cast iron...one of the first modifications I ever made to the car since its pretty much impossible to lift and install this thing by yourself (compared to my ~15lbs edlebrock RPM)....But I have seen these on ebay for as high as $1200 with the PCV system (which I switched over to my current set up)...which is just mind blowing.
I have had several concourse guys offer to buy this right off my car...apparently the original red paint gets sun bleached easy and my car was never in the sun so its in very good shape....I have seen these selling for $800...I bought a new one and really, I cant notice any difference.
this exhaust tips...which means you have to run the original 1 7/8" exhaust on the car, which chokes the hell out of it...but they are 67 only, so they are always worth something..

firing order is nice, as long as you know the direction of rotation.
ask how i know 😉
Yeah, original means everything to people who do that type of work.
I debadged my firebird - still have some around. might have to put them up on the block!
Im trying to deal with All American in Hackensack who I believe are the same owners.
Does anybody know what the Carfax $ value is based on?
No but I know that CarFax has not been accurate on two of my vehicles that were were in accidents, that went through insurance and everything. Was shocked when I pulled the report for a car I was selling that had 11K worth of deer damage
I've read that too. Lots of complaints on various forums. I found a one owner Cayman. but according to Carfax it's overpriced, just trying to figure out what they base it on. The listing doesn't show what options the car has, so it could be an assumption that it's stripped. If you look at the photos, you can tell it's not.

My eyes are burning 😵
there is nothing about the G wagon that I like....well maybe the sound. But for that price Im buying a sweet car and a tundra
It really is mind-blowing...
So digging through these boxes of junk I found this... some old distributor that my father made into an oil primer... but it's not for a Ford so I'm not sure what it's for.... After my dad's super stock mustang got wrecked, he built a 65 383 powered dodge cornet.... so I was thinking maybe for a Chrysler?.... although my father had many chevy-powered things also...

I'm not sure how many of these bright red Brabus G wags there are but I think I have seen this one a couple of times in the Fairfield area. It is quite the sight in the rearview.
Plug the VIN into Carvana and see what the "write-me-a-check" trade in value is. It's a good idea of what the dealer has into the car.
Use www.vinanalytics.com to find out the factory options and MSRP on just about any recent Porsche.

CashKostas on the back?....
This things been all over IG. Just cause you have money doesnt mean you have taste!
I'll check, but it's on consignment at a shop. Still original owner.
Carvana offers $21k, Listed for $26.9k. How low would you try? I honestly think the one owner thing is worthwhile where some of these have 4-7 owners over the years. Not sure if that's priced into Carvana.

Well that's the one and the only one you seen. Also there is nothing Brabus about it, only the fake chinese Brabus badges and that custom display on the back. Stock engine, still an M157 AMG V8 Bi-Turbo though

yeah, it didn't have enough Brabus swag on it...
How many times did they have to remind you you're a Brabus fan
