jtmuncher Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Im finally gonna put her up for sale. This is my 1988 Conquest Tsi 5speed. I just dont drive the car anymore and it has been sitting in my garage for the last 4 months although it did serve as a hiding place for the kids xmas gifts last month. I've owned this car since 07. I rebuilt the motor, and swapped in a complete leather interior from an 89. The motor was rebuilt with a new marnel head, oversize valves, springs, heat treated race prepped rods, heat treated new pistons, brand new heat treated and stress relieved manifold: all purchased from Randy at EMS. Its running with an 18G turbo. The motor work was done at Kendrick Automotive in SA, TX. Everything is fully balanced and blueprinted. Everything under the hood including the intercooler and piping ran me in the neighborhood of 4k dollars. Since 07 the car has been driven less then 5k miles. As it sits now, its in the garage with a cover over it. All my time and money are being put into my Mach 1. This car is too nice to sit there like this. Im also trying to come up with enough money to take the family to Disney World this year. Its not perfect and I'll try to list everything that I think is wrong with it but there is nothing major. Mechanically it is fine. Its never been run hard, never been raced. I've never even installed a boost controller so it is running stock boost levels. The transmission shifts great and the car runs good. I included a vid from today as I took the kids out to grab a bite to eat. I know I am probably forgetting some things so I update this occasionally. Im asking $3500. I'll drive the car to you if you are within a 100 miles if my asking price is met. I can also arrange for shipping it but buyer is responsible to shipping costs. If anyone has any questions or is interested PM me or email at mach1stang@att.net Thanks - Tony Mods:New Marnel Head, OS SS Valves, Brand New Stock Cam, Rockers, Lifters, Scheider Springs etc...Block Bored .040Fully Balanced Rotating AssyARP Rod BoltsARP Head BoltsBSEKRace Prepped Heat Treated RodsNew Stock Heat Treated PistonsAdjusa HG18G TurboAPEX-i Fuel Controller (gen 1)AEM WBNew Timing ComponentsNew Oil PumpNew Water PumpNew Heat Treated Stress Relieved Exhaust ManifoldFidanza FlywheelBosch 02 SensorNew RadiatorDistilled H2ORedline Water AdditiveSpal 16" Fan (in cab controller)NGK Irridiums & WiresAdj RR FPR750cc Prim950cc SecWalbro 255*DM HP Kit*DM 2.5" DP*DM Rebuilt TB*DM Zinc Plated Brakets Bolts etc...*DM Silicone Vac Line*DM Upper/Lower Silicone Radiator Hose*DM Silicone Heater LinesGM Alternator ConvMSD Blaster CoilMSD 6AL Ignition1G MassCloth to Leather Interior Swap out of an 89LSP Braided Lines ThroughoutPolished 8/9's245-45's all around Cross Drilled Slotted RotorsPorterfield RS-4 Brake pads Steel Braided Brake lines ABS Emlimination KitFront/Rear Sway BarsMK1 FB HoodNew Front Air Dam Problems: Steering Wheel Play, pop up head light motors stopped working recently, suspension needs work (I'm including a Moog rebuild kit for front and rear). There is also a small oil leak coming from somewhere. I guess its been sitting too much. The front air dam was new but a close encounter with a dog at 35mph damaged it a little on the drivers side. The bracket for the GM alternator broke but I have another one just havent installed it. Other then that it in great shape. All easy fixes.

Ironside Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 My daughter loves this car. She said daddy it would make a great graduation present....http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif Free bump on a great car...http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmuncher Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks Ironside. I was thinking about hanging on to it until my daughter was old enough to drive but that is 2-3 years away. Anyhow, forgot to mention that it has a clean title. Also, the reason its so quiet is because that is a stock muffler. I love the look and sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSI_SVT Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) Where is the hvac panel located or am I just overlooking it? Edited January 9, 2011 by TSI_SVT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtmuncher Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 It didnt have that panel when I purchased the car. I bought one off of ebay several years ago. I installed it just to fill the hole but removed it shortly after to put my radio there. I live in an area with fairly mild weather plus the fact that the car was sitting most of the time. It'll go with the car if/when sold. Ive gotten several PM's about this car...my apologies for not calling you guys back. Im at work and should be getting off at 6-7pmish.

jtmuncher Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yes I did. Two members from this site and one from craigslist contacted me before you did. One of those potential buyers has committed. If it falls thru, and you're still interested, I'll contact you immediately. I did my best to contact people in the order they contacted me.

The shell was crushed but the motor lives on at over 530HP...itll be making over 700awhp soon. That is about all I can say about that now...
