The shop building this Eleanor Mustang (gone in 60 seconds car) sends status report photos every two weeks on a friday.I'll get some today and post them.

The car is on the rotisseri getting the front total control suspension and the independant rear supension installed now.

Best part about this build....all aluminum 427 side oiler punched to a 468ci with a guranteed dyno report of 650hp.The trans is a 5sp and on the shifter is a little red button that says,GO BABY GO.150 shot of nitrous.

how much have you used it in salt water ?

502SCS 11-17-2007 09:48 AM

6 to 8 times a year for offshore fun/poker runs and trips to a event.
We live between Orlando and Daytona next to the St. Johns river and about 50 lakes so we do most of our boating in lakes and the St. Johns.
After each trip to salt the boat gets a 1/2 hour flushing and rinse of the engine compartment. That is why there is almost no rust in the engine compartment.

Once the boat gets a bid over the reserve and below 12 hours. (most bids come in the last 2 min!) I will not be able to end it early without risking a bad record on ebay... Just a hint ... hint :-)

e-bay auction insurance
 
unitek if your going to buy the scs ,its not a bad idea to buy it through e-bay because e-bay has a up to 20,000 auction insurance that covers structure and motor,,,outdrive ,,, etc. the reason that i know this is when i sold my 29.5 on e-bay last april,the guy who bought it knew exactly what he was about to do,the boat was a 1996 and to the best of my knowledge it was a perfect boat,he had 4 guys inspect it, a total of 4 hours and a 2 hour ride in tampa bay,it checked out perfect,but when he got home to virginia about a week later,and took it to 3 marinas,probably his good buddys,they decided it needed a new transom and bulk head a total of 16,000 ???????????? well e-bay calls me and wants me to give up some money''.WRONG''i knew better and what this guy was up to,so i lost my e-bay acc. and i got a lecture from e-bay,about how i should have told him that it had all these problems,lesson learned here!!! e-bays a great way to buy a boat or anything that runs, where else can you buy a 10 year old boat and get a guarantee like that
