This is one of your true "adult owned" only vehicles. Car has never raced or taken to a track. I can say with certainty because I bought the car from a friend 8 years ago. A carfax will show damage in 2005, this was apparently minor but an insurance claim was filed and a new rear bumper cover was put on. I've priced accordingly.

This car is ready to drive, now. Comes with a huge folder of receipts and documentation. Clean title in hand.

Adding pictures taken by Mike - another member here. He is a better photographer than me but there is an additional 36 of my photos in the link below and a video further down. THANKS MIKE!

No head tick
Original flawless third brake light
Drivers seat bolsters in shockingly good condition (I was always very careful getting in and out)
Fixed rearview mirror rattle (thanks to a member here)
Still has the ORIGINAL factory windshield

Mods:
  • KOOKS longtube headers
  • Offroad X-pipe
  • MAC catback
  • AJE Racing tubular K-member (reinforced and shimmed by performance shop for correct clearances)
  • Ford King Cobra clutch
  • Accufab throttle body
  • Custom cold air intake
  • Reichard Racing 2.800 blower pulley
  • Custom dyno tune
  • Aftermarket heat exchanger (can't remember who made it - probably have a receipt)
  • Short throw shifter - This is PRO 5.0
  • Full length welded subframe connectors
  • Fiore clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster
  • Full tint all the way around
  • Comes with spare Ford FPDM and FPRS (good to keep handy)
  • BAER brakes
  • I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff here, I will add as I think of it.

Just installed (all this is new stuff):

  • FTBR complete kit-
  • Subframe bushings
  • UCA bushings
  • LCA bushing
  • Delrin isolated rear diff lowering mount
  • Aluminum front differential supports
  • UCA and LCA bushing grease kit
  • Ford Racing Reinforced IRS rear diff cover
  • Rebuilt diff - bearings, seals, new carbon fiber clutches (all FRPP)
  • Correct front subframe bolts
  • Maximum Motorsports low profile IRS bolts
  • **NEW** Motorcraft Fuel filter
  • **NEW** Bilstein shocks
  • **NEW** Toyo Proxes TQ drag radials in 315/35R17 (less than 20 miles, nothing hard as the new rearend is still breaking in)
  • **NEW** Duralast Gold battery
  • **NEW** Bosch intercooler pump
  • **NEW** Fuel pumps (stock) with new hoses and PPRV delete
  • **NEW** Ford Clutch cable painstakingly packed with grease on the advice of a performance shop
  • **NEW** Mcgard lug nut set (the olds ones were just looking crappy)


The Bad (Remember I'm super picky):
-Although paint is in great condition, there are the obligatory rock chips from driving.
-The vinyl on the drivers door is starting to lift up (of course), there is a pic of it. Most people wouldn't notice.
-There is a slight ding on the roof, no idea how it got there. I tried to show it in pictures but it didn't want to show. I'm sure a paintless dent guy could bring it out. Trying to get pictures it almost looks like there are two dings.
-Stick CD's in the in-dash 6-disc changer at your own risk, they get stuck in there sometimes (this is super common with these Ford head units - they even sent out a letter)
-The electroluminescent gauge panel does it's thing where it blinks out from time to time, if you've owned a terminator you probably expect this.


Car is in Phoenix, Arizona. It has 127k miles, mostly highway. Never leaked a drop of anything and runs and sounds mean.

$15,500

Send a message for my cell number or VIN. I also have an NMVTIS title history report handy if you want it - title is clean.

Would be willing to work with any transport or shipping you need, or I'm near to Sky Harbor airport and would be happy to arrange to pick you up.

Looks Great for 127k miles

Thanks. Anyone who buys any of my vehicles always gets a great deal. I've never met anyone more meticulous about maintenance and care, other than my dad. You should've seen his SuperDuty at 500k miles......looked brand new inside and out and still ran great.

Damn this tempting. Saw this browsing Craigslist. I live just north in Prescott. I miss my old '04 Redfire Cobra and have been thinking about another Terminator. Unfortunately I'm out of the country for work for a few months.

Well, I'm a reasonable guy. Just wire me the money and it can sit in my garage another few months much to my wifes irritation. I'll even fedex you the title. ;)

To all those asking for vids, here is a walk around I took tonight whole Mike was taking pictures. Hopefully the video does those longtubes justice, revs at the end.:)

Beautiful car. You look as anal as I am about keeping cars brand new looking now matter how old they are. Do you have any dyno #'s ?

Thanks for asking, I really should add a scan of the dyno graph.

The car was tuned in the heat of summer on our crappy summer gas....all for the sake of making sure the thing was as conservative and safe as possible. It's a 2.8 pulley so it's a 14psi car but it's running longtubes and offroad X pipe so it might see even less boost than that. With loads of timing in the car it made 455hp/455tq. I'm sure there's plenty of power left in the tune if it was more aggressive and/or on better gas, but peak power was never a concern of mine. Car was a cruiser only.
