    I had no idea it was this hard to find a POS 4 cylinder mustang! I've been looking for a bit and can't find anything. Geez.

    I have a pos 4-cylinder Mustang sitting at my parents house with no one to drive it.

    Are you looking to buy one? If so, shoot me a PM and we may be able to work something out.

    Nope, probably not. It's quite a far drive just to go to the track and I don't plan that far ahead really :) I'm still trying to pass calculus....we have our 2nd exam tomorrow and I really don't know the material.

    Dirt track racing :) Besides, when I rip the interior out (depending on the shape of the interior) I can part it out. All I need is the steering wheel, driver's seat, shifter and speedo/tach. Everything else goes bye-bye.

    Moldings, dash trims, seats, glass, trunk pieces and exhaust all go bye-bye :)

    Where's Dixie located at?

    I've been to Sugar Creek, North Georgia and one in Murphy, NC (might be Dixie?) with a buddy of mine that races. I'm part of his "pit crew"

    Depends on where my buddy goes :) I'll probably go where he goes (I'll suggest dixie) so if something breaks his dad can help me fix it.

    Na, the one I thought I found was a 6 cyl....the guy I pit crew for though has a brother that's gonna get one though from his uncle. So I'll probably just help him race (and he'll probably let me race).
