That will make 5 cars in the stable. I may clean this one up a little and sell it. We'll see. I'll be taking a train (or should I say 2 trains) into NJ and driving it back. It's an estate sale. The owner recently passed away and I got the line on this from a friend. It has some exhaust work and some other minor modifications, but the estate manager really isn't a car guy so he can't tell me too much.
It needs a new left turn signal marker and the driver seat reconditioned. The Marchal fog lamps work and the covers may or may not be in the trunk.
After that I'll upgrade the radiator, fan clutch and add a transmission cooler. Pretty much anything with a 5.0 from FoMoCo in the '80's and '90's was under-engineered in the cooling system department as far as I'm concerned.
If I can find a set of GT40 heads cheap enough, Ill add them and a GT40 intake manifold as well. Whether I keep or sell it I plan on doing these things either way.

Nice. MK7s are pretty sweet. An engine with a lot of potential, cushy yet responsive suspension, and fat sidewalls make for the ability to hoon like a sir.

Sweet! Make sure to check the TV cable bushing on the throttle body. That little plastic bastard kills the AOD quick when it wears out.

Peanuts basically. It runs perfect. Every electrical component is in working order. The only mechanical things I have to fix are the heater core hose and the vacuum assist parking brake. Every other issue is cosmetic, which is the norm for these.
