Keeping it in the NE-CEG family

[FrozenSection]

Just sold my Mystique to Tony (CSVT1214). I think they got a pretty good deal for a low-mileage 1995... I'll let you know when the threatening e-mails come later this week.

This puts me onto the official trolling list as well. In the meanwhile, time to sink some money and sweat into my pimp-mobile...

damn, that put tony up to 4?...three svt's and a mystique...nicely done

Po whats your next car?

Technically, the Mystique is for his stepdad, although I'm really happy that someone in CEG could use it. It was one of the earlier 1995s and had all the Contique frills (e.g. rear dome light, electric antenna, mechanical speedo cable)... would've been a shame for me to junk it.

It's a friend's Jag... need to stockpile some cash before I can pick that baby up, though, so it ain't going to happen until maybe late 2007/early 2008.

This isn't the car, but here's a link to a similar:

The Series III XJ12's are a rarity in the US, since due to emissions standards at the time, only XJ6's (DOHC 4.9L inline-six) were imported. My friend's XJ12 was shipped over. It's a sweet ride, but everything about that car follows the '2X Rule': parts cost twice what they should, twice the number of cylinders so twice the hassle, two struts/springs per wheel, two intakes, two fuel pumps, two fuel tanks, etc.

That said, when I get out to Oregon, if I see a Contique Zetec/MTX with fold-down rear seats (something like what BrApple has), I'd definitely give it serious thought.

neat!

good luck in Oregon!

wow!
tony is catching up to me in the car department!

Good Luck Po!

Yup, the Mystique had a nice drive home. My stepdad said it ran perfect. No problems. I was a little worried since it's a ATX and being 1995 that it wouldn't shift smooth, but he said it was fine.

It may need an alignment soon, because it was pulling to the right (I believe).

I'll be ordering new headlights, and a new front license plate frame soon. We might hit up the junkyard this weekend for the dash bezel. The passenger side front door won't open from outside, so I might have to grab some parts from my parts car to fix that. Overall, the car is mint and I love it.

I was thinking since it was a GS it would be stripped of all options. But then I saw it had power windows, locks, mirrors, antenna, cruise control, fold down seats, power drivers seat. I was pretty shocked.

Thanks again Po!

if you cant find the dash part you are looking for, let me know.
there were tons of contiques at Hollands Junkyard when i went there this weekend.
