Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest My thoughts for a project

I am looking at getting a CSVT that has been rearened BAD. I was thinking about doing a FULL SVT swap. Motor trans, interior. I will have the only true 95SVT. I might make it a 3.0 while I am at it.

Sweet! Is this SVT in the Albuquerque area?

Sounds good, just do it ! -B. Canyon Run all the way !!!!

Too bad it was rearended...you coulda used that rear bumper.

I take it the exhaust is not repairable?

How about the rims?

Here are a few pictures of the car. It is in Omaha NE. If I get it I will have my father drive there to get it. Then this summer I will go up there with my Contour and swap things out. I hope I can get it painted while I am up there too. I will be using what I can of the exhaust, because mine has not cat and I can't be driving it around without it.


Here is what I have found for parts to turn my SE into a SVT...

SVT heads and cams $1200-800
SVT intake (ALL of it). $500
SVT interior $400 That is just seats and door panels
SVT Side skirts $150-200
SVT rear bumper $200-500
that doesn't make it a true SVT.

That is every thing I need to build a 95 SVT That is worth a lot more the $2000.00 plus there are things on it I don't want.

SVT Front bumper $200
SVT rims $400
and anything else I can sell.

So I will pay $2000 for the car and sell what I can, I should have less then $1200 in the car. I think the only things thee car is missing that I will need is front seats and a rear bumper. I want to put MOMO seats in it anyway and I can pick up a bumper on the drive to Nebraska.

There are running SVTs that haven't been wrecked selling for $2500, of course high mileage. I think $2000 is too much for having that much body damage.

I am going to have my dad talk him down to $1500. I am also thinking about building a 3.0L while I am at it.
