mustang gt coertible – $2300


ihave very nice mustang yuprobablti love have nice rines power windows 2air bags /v.8 motorverystrong 160.00mails only haveproblemneed whaterpomp alsohaveeletric problem . idonthave money tofii xe this is why im salen $2300 obo . please contacme at########## whit nestor .tanks

Let’s define our terms, shall we?

coertible: Well, “coer” is almost French for “heart”, so maybe something which is coertible is lovable. You know, like all those “I heart my Weimaraner” bumper stickers you see. If you can heart something, it must be heartable, thus coertible.

yuprobablti:This is a large, hairy, rarely sighted monster like the Yeti or Sasquatch. However, it’s only seen in the former Yugoslavian states in the Balkans.

whaterpomp: Pomp! There it is! What you shout when you see the yuprobablti!

tofii: Plural of tofu

xe: Twenty-seven points on a triple word score.

salen: I’m salen away -set an open course for the Virgin Sea

nestor: A bird with eggs to hatch.

There. The post makes perfect sense now, right?

Thanks for the link, Lady Kaos!

    This poster was one letter off from saying this Mustang has runes of power!

    Which let me tell you, would be wellwroth 2300.00 (obo)!

      Well, either that or Rines Power is a misguided attempt to insinuate that the car is the most melony car you’ll ever taste.

          [corey]As someone with more than a bit of experience with boats great and small (thus the corey), davits are best used in pairs.

          Cranes, jibs, king-post derricks, et al, are better for single-point boat slinging.

          That, and our favorite North Carolinian is not going to be happy, being used as trailer hull rail lube (as a guess).

    This one’s in poor taste — I recognized it as English as a second language.

    “Rines” is the slang Spanish for “rims.” Likewise, although a water pump translates more directly as “bomba de agua,” you’ll often see it as “pomp” here on the border.

    This post does absolutely everything to uphold my view of Mustang drivers.
    Both accidents I’ve been in were caused by drivers of mustangs. A 2005 and a 86. They are their own brand of people. They are often seen in groups, called, ‘clubs’ and sometimes converse with drivers of Corvettes, Thunderbirds and Z28s.

          I freely admit to being unable to tell most cars apart. For the most part, I lump them into four groups; “small cars”, “large cars”, “pickup trucks”, and “big-ass SUVs”. If I didn’t have to buy parts for it on occasion, I would probably not be able to tell you what kind of car I drive, other than “that beige one there”.

          If you are not muddling the mint into the sugar, you might as well just get the wally-world fake tea with mint and use the Suntori knock-off of Old Crowe . . .

          A julep is all about fresh mint, caramel color for fine, fine bourbon, and the feel of condensation on a cold glass while taking the air on a warm day.

    Well, they say admitting that you have a problem is the first step, but I fail to see how your relationship with Electrophorus electricus has anything to do with a mustang. Did the horse try to eat an eel?

      It’s just terrible to watch what happens when someone develops an electric problem. It always seems to manifest itself thusly…..

      First, you find them in darkened rooms, flipping the switch on their Batman nightlight on and off, on and off, on and off.

      As the problem worsens, they move to lamps, single pole and then three-way, and learn to flip switches so fast it looks like strobe lighting.

      Finally, they hit bottom, and you find them desperately trying to break into ballfields and stadiums so they can play with the field lights.

      Of course, the absolutely un-recoverable of the bunch will end up in theater, hugging Klieg lights and muttering about the pretty colors.

      It is tragic, tragic indeed.

    Matt having annoyed me to fully [corey] this, and Mr White not having done so yet:
    I have a very nice mustang convertable. You probably would love to have this. It has nice wheels, power windows, ans is equiped with front passenger airbags. It is a V8 engine with 16,000 miles o nthe odometer. It does have problems with the electrical system and waterpump. I would fix these things, but I am too impoverished. Yours for $2300 obo. Thank you, W. Nestor.

    Based on the limited info given, this will be an early 90’s GT, which means the mileage is supposed to be 160,000. Water pump for the GT is going to be about a hundred bucks–but probably a couple hundred more in labor. Fords are very bad to have electrical problems with (said as a Ford owner). Figure on battery, alternator, VR, coil, and computer at a minimum. That’s about $300, $400 more in parts, another buck, buck-and-a-half for labor.

    So, there’s a grand in on top of the tow and the best offer to W. Nestor.

    Better be one heck of a minty shell, beeless, non-zombie, intact, non-leaking ragtop, ride.

    Not being able to log on at 6:00 am pst put a real cramp in my style. However, getting to punch someone for the first time makes up for it. MandaB, here’s your You Don’t Suck card, and your first Punchity Punch Punch!

    G’Night, El Paso!

      Ahhhhhhh, no better way to start my Tuesday morning than with punch. And punchity punch punch sounds extra punchy! Cheers!

      OW!!!!

      Note to self: punch and a punchity punch punch are two completely different things.

      Thanks, I needed that!

    You need to read this one with an eastern European/Slavic accent. It becomes even funnier, while the spelling starts to make sense.
