that does sound like a very nice car, I have sent you a private message with my email address, hope to talk to you soon.

Great to see another ASC owner from the UK on here! There was a red ASC Pontiac in the Suffolk area on EBay last year, was this your car? If so it was a beauty, I'd love to see that in the flesh.

As to value, I gave £2000 for my 87 ASC Mustang last year, it had stood in a barn for ten years and ...

I really appreciate your help Foxchassis, I will fill out the vehicle request form and try my luck! I am also awaiting a reply from our own UK Vehicle Registry which should hopefully give me the names of previous owners over here, I bought the car from a dealer over here and unfortunately have no ...

thank you for the info, I did check the database on here before but it seems my car isnt listed here. The LTD ED badge is also missing on the car so I dont even know its unique number. A copy of my Marti Report is here, along with the CarFax info, it seems my car went to a dealer in Texas and I am ...

Hi all, managed to get both a Marti Report and a Carfax report for mine in the last few days, I am in the UK and have now found that my car was imported here in 96. I have a question, Do you have a system over there where you can find out who the previous owners of a car were?

hi all,
its been a while since Ive been on here so I thought Id post some progress updates.
My 87 car is finally back on the road after 10 years in a barn, ive a few issues of the engine stunbling at about 1700 rpm but Im hoping to get that cured soon. Other than that, everything is fine, I need to ...

thank you Kentennis, yes that must be a 'lost in transalation' one! It is one of the freeze plugs and it does look like its made of aluminium, the car has stood for 10 years so maybe electrolysis has taken its toll on this one then, oh dear, this looks like its going to take a while to do!.

no its not the heater core, Ive already replaced that, its a core plug that is pushed into the side of the engine block. I would replace it but as I mentioned in my last post, it has already been replaced by a previous owner, it just seems that maybe they didnt use any sealant when the put it in ...

well after several months of playing Im still finding problems everywhere! Ive had to completely rebuild all of the brakes as there were odd brake hoses, leaking joints and non working cylinders and servo, thats all done now, next job to tackle is a leaking core plug on the passenger side, it looks ...

your not alone, my red 87 was burgundy originally, I was getting very confused thinking it should have been black!

many thanks for your reply and for the information Sandy, that really is great reading, I am fascinated by this sort of stuff, how did you manage to come across one of just two cars made? thats amazing.
I will send you the vin number later today when I finish work, the last number is covered by the ...

Thanks for the reply Sandy, I can see the car has been re-repainted so Im hoping it was done to the original, it matches in the door shuts so thats ok!
Ive had her running, good news is she sounds ok, bad news is the alternator isnt charging (ive 'borrowed' one off one of the other cars for now ...

Morning all!
well, she finally arrived last night and is now sitting in my garage. It seems she was last on the road in 2002 so Ive got to have a look into why this is.
She did fire up yesterday but died again pretty quickly, the fuel gauge is below empty so that may have something to do with it ...

thank you for the welcome gents, Im hoping the car will be turning up either today or tomorrow, very excited as Ive never even seen one of these great cars in the flesh!

as to the British cars, its a true shame we do not have a major motor industry left in this country now, I actually work for Ford ...
