Another Roush, this time a 2010. This will end up being a pretty good deal for someone. It has a few miles on it at almost 46k, and is still based on the 4.6 so it doesn't carry the same premium as the newer ones. These are 540 HP stock (same as the later 5.0 Stage 3), and with a smaller pulley it is pushing more boost so there is no shortage of power. The 4.6 actually gets a more comprehensive rework than the later 5.0 based models, they install forged internals where the 5.0 is actually untouched internally. This one also has the optional performance brakes with 4 piston front calipers and two piece rotors, they are sports car good. It also sounds absolutely wicked.:D

speaking of Gay, here's my latest, set up for track apparently with AM turbo and coil overs. Those coil overs came in handy to raise the ground clearance from 3-1/2 inches to 4-3/4.

I'm asking $33,500. Not a bad price considering the newer Stage 3 models are about $40k for the exact same styling and HP. It is a 5-speed, you really don't notice because there is so much torque. I think the 6-speed is a little bit irrelevant in one of these cars.

Nice JP. What year is your Miata? It looks in good shape and looks great with matching hardtop. Is that a Harddog roll bar?

Thanks.
Yes, Hard Dog roll bar.
The car is a 2000 SE with 64 K miles on it....and in great shape.......more bells & whistles than you can shake a stick at....and everything works. I'm thinkin' it is worth the premium I paid for it. But the wheels are butt ugly.

Been really slow recently, I've been stuck with two Roush Mustangs since last year. Usually they sell within two weeks, both are basically priced at my cost to unload them and move on. Made for a patriotic photo though.

Also finally got the G-wagen going almost $5k later. I'm selling it with a few remaining issues because I just don't have time to fully sort it. At this point it's a decent driver with some superficial issues. It is exactly what I expected - a billet solid old school SUV with a lot of character.

Any pics of the G-Wagon, Matt? Did I miss them somewhere in this thread?

John, there should be one of them in the post above. Lots of pictures are here if you are curious: 2002 Mercedes G500 by Matt Jessup | Photobucket

Not my finest photography hour unfortunately......

If anyone wants a Roush or G-Wagen, I would consider Porsche trades as well.:) It's been quite some time since I have had a P-car and am really getting the itch. Oddly enough my wife is as well, she asked me yesterday when I was going to buy another because she misses them. I think that's how you define a keeper.

gt350mike 02-16-2016 08:42 PM

Matt, I love the G500 but would rather have the GT500 if my wife (yeah, I'm blaming her) would let me get another car. Until I come up with a persuasive argument to getting another toy, I'll have to be content with this one.

She just knows they are easier to sell. :p Of course, that makes here a good businesswoman and also a keeper!

Can you quote a price on the G-tank?

Cheers,

George

Mike, doesn't look like you are suffering too much!

George, I'm asking $29,995 on the G-wagen. Just trying to unload it.

onewhippedpuppy 02-17-2016 10:48 AM

I got a kick out of this picture over the weekend. I just need a huge Ford banner to hang. USA, USA, USA!
