Mad Max going up for sale...

[Power Surge]

I may be putting MadMax up for sale soon. Just wanted to see if anyone here might be interested in the car. I'd love to see it go to a fellow Panther enthusiast, before putting it up on Ebay. Thoughts?

[supa_carrot]

What made ya want to sale the beast, another big project ? It is definetly a cool car. I'll trade ya $75 and some old tooth brushes straight up, if ya want.

[sicilianmarquis]

ill buy your engine : ))

[Peter]

I'm interested....

[jim geary]

Sal, I think you should sell it to Peter. He's always wanted one.

[Raudermaster]

He has an MM. Yea Sal why are you selling it? I'd buy it if I didn't have my MM already. How much are you asking?

[KillJoy]

First off.... I hope there it not a serious situation behind it's sale. I hope you are bored, and ready to move on.

Second.....that is a B!TCHIN car!!! I hope you get the chance to sell it to someone who will appreciate it!

Third....I wish I had some extra $$$ :(

Fourth....just because you sell your car you DO NOT have a reason to not be here! You have friends here....do NOT forget us ;)

KillJoy

PS - Good Luck!!!

The car itself is in nice shape, interior is mint, the 5.4 is built with manley rods and CP pistons, it has cams, the Whipple twin screw, 60 lb injectors, twin 255s, Metco control arms and driveshaft loop, and a line lock. The trans is a fresh rebuilt unit with the J mods and custom convertor. I just put long tube headers on it last week, and will be retuning the car soon.

I would like 10k for the car; the first person to come up with the dough gets it :).

I am selling it because I really don't NEED this car (I have a few others) and I could use the $$ to put towards paying off some bills that stacked up over the slow winter.

[GreekGod]

...the money isn't a problem, but I need it delivered. I can't get away for more than about 8 hours. Anybody want to drive it (from NY?) to Michigan?

[Motorhead350]

If you do decide to buy it and need a driver I can do it in about 2 months. A friend of mine is taking a job an hour away from NYC and I'm going to visit him. Let me know if you need my assistance. ;)

I think the idea is to deliver the car in one piece.

I'm inbetween you two.... I'll help any way I can.

[Pops]

Dale I would be able to go and get it for you and may have someone to go with that would pick it up on a rolloff. The coet would be pretty cheap for him. Pm if your interested in this.

[Master]

Life herebouts would not be the same if you abandoned us now. Hope the friend doesn't leave with the car. That's all I'm sayin'.

[Breadfan]

I'm glad it sounds like someone is buying it, it's going to help stop that twitching and fidgeting thing I do where I get antsy and keep checking my wallet to see if money appeared. ;)

That's a mean car, and would make for one awesome commuter car!

[JVJ]

I will truelyI miss that "MEAN MACHINE"!!!!

[JVJ]

I missed seeing it at the "Hooters" meet, Now I would probaly miss it again. Wish I had the dough to blow. Cause That "MEAN MACHINE" would be mine. Good luck "SAL" on the sale.

[Power Surge]

[GreekGod]

Now you get the joy of building the hood!

[High-C]

[magindat]

[snowbird]

Congrats to the new buyer of that monster !!

I'm glad he is from "Wyoming", far far away from me ! :)

[melfunkshun]

Wyoming, MI that is, in my neck of the woods:)

[Raudermaster]

Congrats GreekGod! You must be pysched. How are you going to transport it? Sal, I'm sure you'll be sorry to see it go.

[RoyLPita]

Sold! Get the wimmen & chillin offa da streets

Will you be taking it to the Dream Cruise this year?

[Pops]

Cograts Dale you have bought a awesome car and I know that you will bring it down for me to see!

[GreekGod]

...I am looking into a transport company. I have three references so far.

I can't get away because I am taking care of my 86 year old mother (Alzheimers). Haven't had a (real) "vacation" since 2001.

Can someone please photoshop a teardrop bubble hood on it? I'm curious how it would look.

I still have the teardrop hood off the '66 Galaxie I had. I bonded a 3" fiberglass teardrop bubble to the factory hood, and it turned out really nice. Believe it or not, the '65-66 hoods had an open area in the underneath bracing that was perfect for the teardrop.

[Motorhead350]

Cool congrads! As for the rest of you, ya I knew what I was getting myself into. I don't think there are any kerosene stations along the way though. :D

[RCSignals]

Awesome!

Now you get the joy of building the hood!

The thought of having to build a hood was the real reason Sal sold it :lol:

[MERCMAN]

Just a thought,, carmax transports cars all over the US. Perhaps you could hook up with one and see if they could transport yours if they have an open spot?

[RCSignals]

Congratulations Dale!

That's quite the machine

[MarauderTJA]

Congratulations on your purchase. What a really cool car with an awesome power already to go. You will have a blast with that beast:D .

[Zack]

Call Martyo, he knows some people.

[OneBADLsE]

[ckadiddle]

Glad it's staying in the family! :)

[BK_GrandMarquis]

I can drive it there!!! ;)

Nah, how would I get back? LOL

Sad to see you sell it Sal. :( Guess you have real priorities and other toys anyway. You gotta do what ya gotta do.

Yeah, it's no big deal John. I get bored easily anyway. I have had over 70 Fords since I was 15 years old. I'll wind up building some other insane project in a few months. Just for right now, I could use the dough, and selling Max was the fastest way to achieve that.

[sicilianmarquis]

hey im in fl if u pay for a plane ticket, and gas ill be more then happy to drive it for you, i just moved to tampa and cant find a job anywere

[Blackened300a]

Wow Sal, This must only mean that you are going to get bored soon and create something much more evil. :D

To the buyer, After seeing and hearing this car in action, you are getting something special that was built and tuned by the best.
You definitly got your money's worth!
Best of Luck to you.

I hope you dont leave the board Sal since your Panther connection is sold.

[JonW]

Damn, I missed it. :bigcry: I would have jumped on that. But good luck to the new buyer. That car has got to be a helluva lot of fun. :D

this seams like a cheap price ....why so cheap?

[Motorhead350]

You can always offer a higher price.

[OneBADLsE]

Where Would The Buyer Need The Car Driven To??? IM RIGHT ON LONG ISLAND AND CAN HAVE SOMEONE FOLLOW ME TO WHEREVER...PM ME IF INTERESTED.

[Constable]

son of a biotch.... i missed the deal of the century. I would've been all over that if i'd have seen the thread earlier...

[Power Surge]

Maybe I should have done an MM.net private auction for the car :) .

+1 :alone:

[Raudermaster]

Well, it's done and done now Sal lol. Has GreekGod found a transport yet for the car?

[GreekGod]

...I'll be sending Sal the final payment today, and choosing a transport contract. "Specialty Mobile Systems" is 5 star rated, with 331 reviews in the last year on transportreviews.com (http://www.transportreviews.com/company/), so I'll probably be going with them.

[Pops]

Dale you are not getting excited on this purchase are you? I think rest of us are right there with you. Good luck and enjoy!!!!!!!!!

[GreekGod]

...I didn't get many responses to my post about Bonneville Marauders (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=34338), so I'm now dreaming about joining the 200 mph club with the MadMax CVPI.

I can see the headlines now:

"Bonneville speed-week driver dies,

fear induced heart attack is suspected "

[GAMike]

Congrats on the acquisition Greek God. Glad to see this horse found its way to someone who appreciates what it can do. I will be at Woodward this year. Hope to see you there:banana2: Bonneville sure would be fun in Mad Max.....

Sal...... Looking forward to your next project:D

[GreekGod]

Well, the GreekGod has always preferred big Fords. His father worked for the downtown Grand Rapids Ford dealer before WWII (Gerald Ford was a customer), and 2 more by the time he retired in 1984. It is in the family genes.

He has owned a 1962 Sunliner, 1961 Fairlane, 1966 Galaxie 500 XL, and a 1968 F100. His current 4 wheel rides-1985 Crown Vic 2dr, 1979 F150 4x4, 1979 U-Haul "F37...", 1993 Grand Marquis, 2003 Marauder, and soon to be 2000 CVPI.

The '85 has to go :bigcry: . Hoping the neighbor kid buys it for $500.

[Raudermaster]

Man it's a shame you guys didn't live closer! I've wanted a 2 door box for a while, don't ask me why.

[GreekGod]

Thanks (to all) for the congrats. I understand the Woodward Dream-cruise is a groovy scene, but I can't go until my situation changes.

We have a mini (28th Street) Dream-Cruise here in G.R., "only" about 100,000 showed-up last summer, and it was only the 2nd anniversary. A popular large parking lot at 500 28th Street S.E. is 1/4 mile from my house. Anyone who wants to attend can rendevous at my place (park your trailer, store your luggage/tools or whatever).

p.s.:Our crime rate is def. lower than Detroit ;).

[meanstreak69]

it looks as if you have had the rear wheels widened....if so who di this....

[Raudermaster]

They're not widened, they're just thicker rims. I believe Sal used Cragar's? And the tires are Mickey Thompson's.

[GAMike]

Well that kinda sucks GreekGod cause I'm a Criminal:lol: :burnout:

Hope your situation changes:beer:
