NEW CV SPORT TO FAMILY

A special shout out to all MM.netters who have been sending links, and especially to COREYM75 who sent me a PM on a 19,000 great Aunt owned, mint, always garaged, never driven in weather, showroom fresh CV SPORT.

Being the first person to call and speak with the owner, one of the nicest and most honest people both Corey and I have spoken with in buying cars, Corey went 80+ miles out of his way and spent well over an hour testing/driving/racing (hahaha), photographing, filming, and checking every area of this car.

He reported back that it is an honest "Unicorn" CV SPORT at a very fair price.

Story from owner and niece who inherited car was that it was driven twice per month to Church when the weather was nice-Nearly spotless clean inside, leather and paint like new, supposed original tires, Great Uncle was a car guy--and put plastic down in trunk and on carpets when the grandkids got in. Uncle and Aunt loved car and called it "Vic!"

Problem is/was... 20 year old Niece just did not appreciate the car the same way her Aunt and Uncle, and all of us do.

After doing all of the above, Corey simply stated, "If you don't buy it, I'd like to!"

Having had three low mile CV Sports slip away, and with the EPIC LEAD, ASSIST, and HARD WORK from CoreyM75, and the help from a car loving, extremely honest owner -- I figured it was meant to be and bought it.

Now Planning another cross country trip!

Grand Rapids to OKC... and then OKC to California.

Would love to get some meet ups along the way.

Still working on the wheels and tires issue.

All ideas welcome. WHEN/WHERE IS MARAUDERVILLE?

Looks good. Sounds like patience paid off. I happen to like the stock wheels. Just my opinion, I'd keep it a CV sport. No Marauder parts. Especially since it's so original and you already have a couple MMs. Either way, enjoy it!
 
If you come down I-44 and would like to inspect your new rig before the final leg, I have a lift and such. 3 parts vics. And a place to sleep for the night if need be. Pm me if you need anything on your trip through.

And I'll vote keep it stock other than the wheels and tint.
 
Congrats Grant. The car is very, very nice. Almost too nice to daily drive.

There's a few Mustang rim choices out there that look good, just not as good as the Sport rims.
 
Congrats man! So is that a 03? Idk, buddy of mine has that color 03 and I slipped up calling it a DTR one evening. Boy was I wrong and got schooled on it

I'm surprised your not taking I 80 across, skipping okc and Kansas City all together. Anyway, I believe Chris Curless will be here in town kc. For a power tour in early June

I think it would be cool if you rolled with him headed south, just a thought


Lower it, put some wheels on it and kenne bell mustang blower it :)

Thank you brother. This may happen!
 
Thanks all! Dad lives in OKC, so hard not to stop in and visit. Plus I love the Route 66 schtuff.

If I cruise 80 I can visit 2.4shofast in Utar...



I also like the car stock... I like the style of the 17 inch stock wheels, to me they are just a little too small... Even if you "rubber up" a size or two with stiff sidewall tires. I tried this once, and there is just a little too much wheelwell space. I don't want to spend big money on great tires, knowing they will still be too small. If the stock fan blades came in 18 or 19 inch and were more polished, that's what I would do.

So keep the wheel pictures and Ideas coming. I don't need to make it a Marauder clone, but
I do love the Mustange/Marauder wheels. Am completely open to wheels that are understated but substantial!

Once I get a bearing on times to fly n drive I will let ya'll know.

Also I didn't see any mm.net atta boys for Corey's time and effort. YOU ALL are what make this site so fantastic!
