Went to Brandon Florida today to look at a totaled feature convertible, after finding this on Tampa Florida Craigslist on Monday afternoon. Can you believe this was totaled? I couldn't believe it, and the owner couldn't either. ----------------------------------------

What insurance comany? They probably based that on the value of any regular 93 vert. I have Hagerty and an agreed value of $20k on my car. |

I am sure it wasn't insured as a collectorcar. The gentleman, who was also the original owner, used the car as the family's second vehicle. I said something to him and asked if he was going to argue for the increased value of the car and the possibility of getting it fixed and told him when the settlement check arrived not to cash it and he said it was too late for that. The insurance company of the lady that hit him from the rear, MetLife, is the company that totaled the car. The insurance company left the car with him though, but asked him to submit the title to them. There is supposed to be a Florida Certificate of Destruction coming back to him in the mail within a week or so. ---------------------------------------- 1990 7-Up, 1992 Summer Edition, 1993 Summer Edition Canary Yellow, 1993 Summer Edition Triple White, 1992 F150 XLT 2WD, 2000 Explorer XLS, 1989 GT Conv't R/D Parts Car, 1990 7-Up R/D Parts Car, 1993 Summer Edition Canary Yellow R/D Parts Car |

Do I sense a parts sale? I could use a few pieces. That is such a shame! Even more so if it was a 5spd! |

Well, at this time I am only putting the Cervini fully-functional after-market Ram-Air (1971 - 1973 style) Mach I hood up for sale. It comes with the cold-air intake style filter and the ram air Cervini after-market air filter box cover that replaces the stock air filter box cover, that makes the hood intake mate up to the air filter box. I put that on local classified sites already. Cervini asks over $800.00 for this set-up. I couldn't believe it. ----------------------------------------

I tried contacting the guy numerous times on this car. Sadly, I never heard back from the guy. I was bumming for sure, especially at that price! When he stated it was hit in the rear, I was wondering how bad it was, as I never even got the opportunity to get pics! If you want to get rid of the car as a whole, let me know. I'm waiting to hear back on a different Mustang (a very rare t-top notch), but I would gladly ditch that for this! Since I'm allocating money to paint my '88 FPV SSP for Carlisle, I'd be particularly interested if you wanted to work something out on a trade for one of my others for sale too. ---------------------------------------- 1986 FHP SSP 1988 FHP SSP/FPV Tribute 1988 MA SSP 1992 MI SSP 1984 SVO - $500 1984 L 3.8L w/ 34k miles - $1800 1989 GT Conv. - $1600 1989 GT 5.0 Hatch w/36k - $7500 and more: http://www.5pt0joe.com ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by 5pt0joe at Jan 24, 2012 3:47:27 AM] |

I actually called the gentleman that was selling the car and spoke to him a few hours after he posted the ad on the Monday after New Years Day. I disappointedly told him that I couldn't get down to Brandon from where I live near Ocala until the next weekend (Saturday). He told me that I was the first person that contacted him about the car and since I was interested in so much off of the car, from the excellent condition chrome Ponys to the trunk lid wing to interior parts for my car he told me that the car would sit until I could get there to look at it first. He said he preferred selling the entire car rather than parting it out himself. He was the original owner. Funny thing though, a few weeks ago I had a thought cross my mind and that thought was wouldn't it be neat to have TWO 1993 canary yellow feature convertibles at the same time. I shrugged that off saying to myself that I couldn't see that ever happening. "Thank you, Lord", and thank you, Will (in Brandon)! I will be receiving the Florida Certificate of Destruction for the car as soon as Will receives it from the State of Florida. He had to turn his valid title in to the state due to the insurance company totaling the car. ---------------------------------------- 1990 7-Up, 1992 Summer Edition, 1993 Summer Edition Canary Yellow, 1993 Summer Edition Triple White, 1992 F150 XLT 2WD, 2000 Explorer XLS, 1989 GT Conv't R/D Parts Car, 1990 7-Up R/D Parts Car, 1993 Summer Edition Canary Yellow R/D Parts Car |

I will be receiving the Florida Certificate of Destruction for the car as soon as Will receives it from the State of Florida. He had to turn his valid title in to the state due to the insurance company totaling the car. You were probably just before me then. I have an app on my phone that I programed to pick up Canary Yellow's across the US when posted on craigslist within 8 minutes after the post. I called him either that night or the next morning (don't remember) and e-mailed him twice (once the same day I called, the second was a few days after). I told him right on the phone I'd only be interested in the whole car. If he started parting it out already, I no longer had interest. I'm on the hunt for a Canary Yellow daily driver, but wait for an exceptional deal, just as I do with all my Mustangs. If you ever sell one (this one or the other one), please let me know unless I already have one by then. If it's reasonable and I can swing it, I have no problem buying it and making the couple thousand mile trip to pick it up. As long as it remains at a good home, that's all that matters to me. As soon as the ad mentioned about parting it out, my heart sank. I'm a sucker for non-perfect diamond's in the rough (if you haven't noticed from looking at my cars on my website)! lol! Back on the prowl for now...  ---------------------------------------- 1986 FHP SSP 1988 FHP SSP/FPV Tribute 1988 MA SSP 1992 MI SSP 1984 SVO - $500 1984 L 3.8L w/ 34k miles - $1800 1989 GT Conv. - $1600 1989 GT 5.0 Hatch w/36k - $7500 and more: http://www.5pt0joe.com |

Yes, I also look for cars that are affordable. I don't have deep pockets and the cars that I have bought so far have all usually been purchased using "creative financing" methods. I actually credit card cash-advanced to buy this car. To any that missed the ad before the seller pulled the listing here is a copy of it. ----------------------------------------
