Entire car/parts for sale. 2006 Gold LS 3.9, engine is toast, everything else is good. 69k miles. I am just tired to constantly working on this car and am glad to see it go, honestly. (even though a new engine is 700 bucks shipped)

Whats NOT GOOD: Front and rear bumpers (my grandfather used the car as a ping pong ball with a steering wheel at 90 years old) Suspension is worn out. Hood and truck lid have some hail damage. Tires are old, battery went bad from sitting.

So everything else is available. Gold/Tan exterior, and has sunroof with no leaks

Hood with hail damage, no large dents or damage or anything 35. Trunk lid with hail damage 35

*I have no idea how to take out the sunroof*

Exhaust--SOLD
Engine parts, valve spring, oil pan, etc
All interior is in fantastic shape (69k miles) GOLD/TAN interior
That damn AC DSSV (or whatever its called) valve, recently replaced. Is it still good? We know how that goes with that part. Maybe 300 miles on the new part. 10 bucks

OEM Degas bottle, tested recently and had no cracks, will test again before selling 40
Radiator 40
UPPER radiator hose with maybe 1k miles on it 20
Radiator fan, just replaced with salvage yard unit 75

I looked and that piece is in good shape, other than a bit dirty. Ill pull it off tomorrow if it stops raining and will be in touch now that I have my internet back again.
 
Sorry, I found another one, it is in the mail to me, I left the same message in a conversation I started with you. I had to change out my harmonic balancer and the mech found that it had come loose and banged into the timing cover, cracking it. Here is a pic of the used one I bought on Ebay for $50. It was a time sensitive issue, since I needed the part before Saturday for the mech to be able to work on it .

I dont know about yall, but this is by far the hardest and most expensive car (cost for parts) ive ever worked on. When it was running of course.

350 bucks for a damn harmonic balancer?! That is exactly why I chose not to just drop a new engine in the thing. The parts on this car are ridiculous!
 
Right, I guess when they call us enthusiasts, its meant to be confirmed with a sarcastic smirk. Im on my 3rd LS and its also paid for. I'd rather pay the parts prices to not have to pay a monthly note and dont know what other make and model would give me the same driving satisfaction. And since my son in laws uncle is a Ford certified mechanic, and charges me only about $50/hr I grin and bear it. I have a contact at the parts dept of the Ford dealership that gives me parts at the Rock price. Not all parts, but the ones I can get that are Motorcraft to keep the car in the best possible condition. its 99% ecstacy and 1% sheer terror. The vcgaskets were $110 ea from Ford, but I got Fel Pro from Rock for $24.
 
Josh, Get back to me asap ,I may need that part after all. In other words, Ill buy the part for the same price I paid for the other one. $50 and pay for the shipping. Please call me when you get this , Thanks

I dont know what happened to the PM i sent you, but I do have that part if you still need it.

Since the original post wont let me edit it, I forgot to add:

The seats are the AC/Heated seats, and the transmission was rebuilt by the dealer under warranty at 36k so the tranny only has about 34k on it.

Hey bud, you might want to remove your number before get spammed or the "IRS" calls you and demands 3500 in Target gift cards or they'll issue a warrant for your arrest
 
Is that DSSV thing for the ventilation still available? Have to research a bit but pretty sure the 03 I drove home last night needs it.
