    98 Contour SVT

Posted 10 March 2009 - 06:06 PM

I picked this one up Friday 99 SVT, Mostly stock its got a 21mm rear sway bar & thats it.
Tan interior which is what I've been wanting for my project car. it has new headlights new struts & fairly new tires along with new brakes and a new cat that probably wont get much use.

Most of you know that I wrecked my main squeeze a while back & even though I repaired it i am having trouble getting it titled. Since I wanted tan interior anyway I'm just going to pour all of my stuff into the new ride.

Excuse the crappy pics.

The team!

As for why so many, I don't know I like them i guess. I also have stockpiled so many parts I'll be good for quite some time. I bought the DD wrecked there was a thread on here about the repairs on it. I wrecked my pride & joy & will probably be returning it to stock to either pass inspection or part. The one I just purchased i wanted a clear titled toy w/ tan interior & this thing is surprisingly clean & well maintained for 131K. The Black SVT I picked up in Miami & you should check out my gallery for pics of it when I first picked it up. It was in pretty rough shape to say the least.

I'll have a nice cheap silverfrost up for sale as soon as I finish up the 3L for the record. B)

That's because OB1 gets them first. He has the power of the force.
I thought I had banned him from this site. Can't handle members with good Contours. :lol:

yea i like the black one as well. alot of people love the red on the contour. why is this? i'm not too fond of it tho. i think a black svt contour with the mirko splitter and some 17's looks amazing. nice collection tho man, they are all sick! i am trying to find another one as well.

Gee and I thought about offering you ol' 869 for a second there......then again NOT! :bleh:

Just kidding Joe, I know how you feel. When I bought mine new back in 99, the dealer had 2, both T-Red. I asked if they could do a dealer trade and they were not willin'. Now after 10 years, it's kinda grown on me. :wub:

I have a set of wheels but the tires on this car were recently replaced & it just rides so good! I'm gonna rock the stockers for a little while unless I go ahead & do the brake upgrade this summer.

Tropic Green is the only color I don't own guys, I just like T-red the bestest! :D
