Sure, but they may have gone up in price a little since I wrapped them with $1000 worth of Nitto NT-01s in September.

Seriously I do have a set of stock Mustang 18" 'fan blade' style wheels that I will sell you though. Let me know if you're interested.

Let me get the bullitt first and then we'll go from there, but yes, interested in the wheels. Those 8.5 wide?

Any truth to the rumor that THSCC is being taken over but the SVT Cobra club?

According to the intarwebz, yes, they are 18x8.5.

Huh? You're buying another Mustang? Well, I'm glad this 26 page thread wasn't for naught.

Gears: does this car have 3.55s or 3.73s?

Wheels -- I'm not sure I'd trust a cheap cast wheel for track, but the $139 Kazera KZ-Ks from Tire Rack have worked well for autocross. 18x8.5 and 5 mm more offset than the factory 18x8.5s, which lets me squeeze in the 295s with just a tiny bit of rubbing on the fender liners.

Bullitt's all have 3.73s if I'm not mistaken.

3.73 gearing....

Good to know on the wheels. I'd rather spend a few more bucks on some decent lightweight wheels and tires. You running the A6 or v710? I'm thinking I'll go w/ v710 since this is a fairly heavy car.

well the stars are starting to align. SECU received the loan payoff today, but man was that strange. They fedexed it to a random branch, not even the main branch. Got a call from the New Hope location asking about a check they received to pay off a loan. I swear, carmax corporate is run by semi-trained monkeys. Lord I hope I never have to deal w/ these a$$clowns again.

Anyway, now waiting on personal loan approval so I can buy the car and then refinance once I bring it back in state. I hope this car presents as well as the owner claims. If I have to walk from this, I'll, I'll, well I'll do something stupid...
